The Christmas Season and the Belen


December 25 has come around again. Another Christmas brings with it an air of nostalgia for most of us. Maybe our childhood memories are still as vivid as they were 15 or 20 years ago. Or maybe not. Memories of Christmas Parties in high school create flashbacks that can make you cry due to laughter! And what of those in college? Hardly do I recall any because back in U.P. Manila, all I remember was studying in the library!

Well, in my case, Christmas memories continue to be as colorful and as poignant as they were --- because these were Christmases spent with those we love, and those who love us back, even if we were not made aware of it --- or felt it --- in a way we imagine it to touch us.
