The real essence of Christmas

-

 

Christmas, a Holiday almost everyone is celebrating, where everyone gets to spend their time with their loved ones. Christmas carols, gift giving, foods, games, family reunion; these are the things that excite us when we hear the word “Christmas”. However, Christmas is not just about those things, it is made as a celebration for the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.



 


Celebrating Christmas for the past 2 years was hard for most of the people due to the pandemic and other personal reasons. It was boring for me as well because we weren’t allowed to do carolling to avoid physical interaction with other people. Also, most of our relatives from other province or country could not join us in celebrating the Christmas since they are not allowed to travel.

Despite of the situations during Christmas for the past years, this year was different. Usually, we always receive gifts from our families, friends and especially from our godparents but my family decided to doa different thing. We did Christmas carols but we were the ones who gave gifts to the needy people. We didn’t have much but I think we made those people happy. We had a wonderful time together since it became our bonding, we were happy and at the same time, we were helping other people.       

Christmas is not just about materials that we give and receive but the joy we share with each other. I encourage everyone to enjoy and be excited for Christmas not just because of the money and gifts but because of the happiness it will bring to us. As I mentioned in the first paragraph, Christmas is not about gifts and money; it is about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ and doing what He loves which is giving and sharing. I hope everyone had a great Christmas this year and will be having a greater Christmas for the next years. Merry Christmas!

                                                                            Who am I?                   A girl who loves to read, watch, eat, travel and loves to socialize. A girl who's trying hard to do good at school and always trying to be strong. A girl who wants to be there for her friends and a girl that can make friends easily; yep, that girl is me.                   Hi! I'm Kryst Jian, the girl I just mentioned. I love reading book (especially wattpad books), I love watching K-dramas and movies, I love eating; specifically streetfoods, and I love going to places that has beautiful sceneries. I want to become a lawyer someday; I want to change the unfair justice system. I want to help people who can't afford to hire an attorney. But then, due to financial problems, I'm thinking of being an entrepreneur first before I pursue my dreams in law. I also want to travel the world with someone, someday.                   I might just be a little girl but I am and I will

2nd to the last step

            So, today's blog will be all about what I've learned this quarter, and to put it bluntly, I'm not sure where to begin. But first, let's take a look at how this quarter went. This quarter has been a complete roller coaster for me, with various lessons in various subjects. This quarter has provided me with a wealth of information. Mathematical subjects, for example. This is my least favorite subject. It's been enjoyable for me. I've learned a lot about this topic. As well as in English class, where we learned about the structure of an essay and the different types of it. While studying ICT as a subject. It was also a topic that provided a lot of useful information.        This quarter's topics have been so helpful to me considering that we did a Community-based research. At first, I was complaining because we had so much school requirements to do and I was so stressed to do another research again. However, during the process when my classmate
