Christmas Eve ( Travel Journal # 4)

Guess what day it is today? Christmas Eve, everyone would shout. A day when some people eat a big christmas meal, a day when some maybe open their presents.
Well to me, I don't really care about how much presents I am going to get.Why?Because I got my christmas present already. And I know that is enough.
To people Christmas might mean " A day of opening presents" and stuff like that. Don't you think that is sort of " TOO MUCH EXPECTING?" No offence to others that think it this way . What Christmas really means to me is the day you spend time with your family. Presents? Sort of but I don't go like " Dad, Mom, buy me presents in christmas or I'll get mad." No, no, not like that. Our family, doesn't celebrate Christmas with tons and tons of presents under the christmas tree. Mostly me and my sister put presents under there, instead of our parents putting presents. Christmas way sound like a children/kids present day. But to me, it is most likely a day where you show that your thankful to your parents, and how much you love them.
Seriously, guys think about it. Don't you sort of agree? I mean your parents always worry, care about you when you guys are pratically fooling around. Including me. My dad, for instance, never say a word when I ask him to go to arocha or complain about things that might come on his nerve. And think how much stress he would have. A bunch from the family, and a bunch from work. I've realize this, and I feel like the most horrible daughter ever.
That is how I spent my Christmas eve. Giving mom and dad, presents my love and effort is poured into, even though it may not cost alot. But they, as a parent, love it more than anything.
You see tears dripping down from their eyes , and next thing you know it, you also start crying. And then comes the hugging.
