It's December, Christmas season. My favorite one. It gives everyone a perfect excuse to meet up with long lost friends and have indulgent dinners with constant buddies.
Two years ago, I got very very sick (I lost so much weight and I felt like my bones were the brittlest things...could not sleep at all for days!) because my weeks were swamped with year-end work, shopping for and wrapping up presents (mine and the BF's), dinners, parties, and masses.
At one point last year, I had 6 hours of sleep total in a span of one week! Then again, I was a student last year so exams, projects, more parties, and a trip halfway around the world made it even busier.
This year as I end my 2009 as a "free" person, I find gaps in my social calendar and it feels a bit weird. Like everyone's on to something I'm not. Of course I'm forgetting the real meaning of Christmas and the good news is, this relatively lighter Christmas season for me leaves me enough time and energy to continue my daily yoga classes and attempt to complete the Misa de Gallo.
I will always love Christmas -- it truly is the season to be with loved ones.
And I hope my free energy this Christmas brings me closer to the birthday boy.
