It is the time of the year again where everyone come together and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, which is Christmas. Time flies so fast that the year is going to be over in just about a week’s time. Christmas is very special to many of us, especially Christians, but many of us think that it is about presents.

I went for the Christmas service at my church and the people there all celebrated Christmas as a church. It was really good to see so many people at church as it was a combined service of both the Chinese and English congregation.

After service, many of the youths went around wishing each other Merry Christmas and also exchanged gifts with one another. I received Christmas presents from my two of my church friends and my cell group leader. I also gave Christmas presents to my church friends as Christmas is also a time of giving.

Lunch was at a hawker centre. My parents brought us there to eat chicken rice before going home to clean and pack up the house. I drove home and my father went to do some computer work while my brother went to sleep. My mother, sister and I went to one of the church member’s house to pass them their Christmas presents and also talk to them. I stayed there for about an hour and played cards with my friend while waiting for my mother to go home.

My family also had dinner out with my grandfather. We went to his house to fetch him before going to a nearby coffee shop to eat. Tomorrow, I think I will have to start with my projects and revision for the examinations. I hope I will be able to wake up early so as not to waste my holidays sleeping away.
