cried buckets watching this movie... but its such a thought provoking one.. if we could, would we choose to stay or leave? sometimes life is so painful that we just want to quit but we cant. what holds us back, what gives us meaning?
this christmas i learnt the meaning of family. yes christmas is about the birth of jesus - and we celebrate the greatest gift of all.. but being able to spend time with family, the home filled with children, love and laughter brings so much warmth to my heart achs well. being home for christmas as someone who is finally home for good, and being back just for holiday feels so different. and at the end when we were all sitting at the christmas tree unwrapping our presents and laughing away, i really felt so blessed and it was a great cuddly feeling!
to be able to spend christmas in church is also very warm. i think its actually my first christmas service? i dont remember any other christmas service... and at the end of the day having this day off and public holiday to be able to go to church to celebrate this joyous occasion with fellow brothers and sisters in christ. thats what it is all about (:
it is a good season.. even though i was dreading it initially because it felt like there was so much hype and parties and that really drains me.. but in the end everything turned out well(:
& 2015 is coming!
ending off with some reindeer cupcakes that i baked for christmas! i really liked the taste of this cupcake - i used dark cocoa powder. although initially i freaked out because it was black instead of brown.. haaha
