Christmas is almost every child's favorite holiday, between the presents, cookies and Santa, it was what every child looked forward to every year. Now, at the age 25, Christmas holds a different meaning to me. Of course I still enjoy opening gifts, however what I enjoy most is having my family come together. I know, it comes off as super cheesy, but I mean it. There is no better feeling in the world when you're in the same room with the people you cherish the most. Laughing, sharing stories and a cup of coffee -- it makes you all warm and fuzzy inside.
This year we had two celebrations, as usual one with Jorge's family then with mine. But this Christmas was extra special, it was our first Christmas as husband and wife. We weren't really prepared for Christmas this year, it may have to do with the fact that it didn't feel like Christmas. With people starting to decorate in November (before Thanksgiving) and our wedding that was 5 weeks prior to the holidays, we didn't have much time to prepare for it. I mean, I was still able to put the tree up and decorate the apartment, but it still felt like something was missing...
Nonetheless, when we invited Jorge's and my family over for dinner and that's when I found it. My family is what made Christmas feel like... well Christmas.
