X'Mas a time to remember

Been out shopping for gifts for the pass week or so, I remember how when i was a boy we would all gather at Uncle Francis and Aunt Ean's home to celebrate Christmas. Uncle Francis is Catholic while Aunt Ean and the rest of the family are Buddhist but they would celebrate Christmas cause it was a day for everyone (7 families) to catch up with each other and to make the "kids" happy. A huge turkey and plates of mouth watering food would line the dining table and when we hear this,

Aunt Kim: "Children! come and eat!"

We "the kids" would all rush and grab at the goodies! the balcony was the only permitted area for us to hang out and eat. We would then gobble up our food and wait anxiously in line to collect our gifts from the bottom of the Christmas tree. Without a doubt, every year the adults would get us kids a gift and ill always remember that feeling of excitement everytime we laid hands on those present boxes and start ripping them apart!

Ever since a few years back when i finished my national service and started working full time, i have told myself to carry on bringing to the kids back home the kind of fun and joy i received from my uncles and aunts every Christmas when i was a little boy.
