One year ago I was engulfed in happiness. One year ago, my two week stay in Mexico was almost over. One year ago, I despised the idea that time could move so quickly, and that the phrase "Time flies when you're having fun," or rather when you're immensely happy could be true. This year I came face to face with reality, I wasn't able to go to the one place where I felt completely welcomed, where I was loved unconditionally and more than I could ever imagine, the one place where I was ecstatic and overjoyed 24/7. Because although I was sick for 1/3 of my stay in Mexico, and even though I was sick on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I had the time of my life.
This year, I got to spend Christmas Eve/Christmas Day with my siblings, with my parents, with my boyfriend, and with a mix of strangers because of the posada. (A posada is done for 9 days before Christmas, it consists of praying, singing, singing + walking, knocking on doors + singing, and of course, FOOD.) I'm just glad that this year I have some of the people I love the most around. To celebrate with, to laugh with, to eat with, and to create a lovely Christmas memory with. I love the holidays, and all the family time that comes along with it!
Happy Holidays from my family to yours. (:
