For the people who spend Christmas and new year with their family every year, doing it could be ordinary and sometimes you really can't feel anything special about it.
Today, I just watched Roommate season 2 (hehe:p) christmas edition, and realized that you really need to be grateful that you get to spend that joyful days with your family.
So, in this episode, Jackson from GOT7 got the prettiest Christmas gift ever. I learned from the show that he didn't get to meet his parents for a long time, and I can relate to that, since I also am right now away from my parents to study here, in Semarang. There would be a moment that we think about them and suddenly tears come out since we miss them but we can not just meet them right at the moment. And always, I feel I'm in need to listen to sad songs that is related to the moment, or just gospel songs will do. Yeah, well, sometimes I think doing it is a good thing, too. That way, we can also release our stress.
Back to the story (hehe), so.. There's this Christmas party and many brings their loved ones, but he (Jackson-I'll use it instead using the name.. fyi so not to be confused) don't have his parents to share the happiness of Christmas at that time. You know, there's sort of feel of jealousy when everyone can spend such a big day with family and you don't, but the atmosphere is really good and everybody's happy. It hurts so much as you need to hold back your tears. Even when there's this scene when he received a gift from someone who is not his family, but cares for him, I am really moved by that. The feel is similar to when you are feeling down because of something, there's someone who's willing to cry for you because they care for you.
And finally, this scene. The part that breaks my heart the most. He finally got to meet his mother, the thing that is longed so much that it moves everyone. Well, for us who currently are away from our parents in order to reach our dreams could really cry (like really) for the moment because during the past we cry and wonder when we get to meet them. We want to meet them. But we can't. The situation doesn't let it happen. We can just wish and pray them for the best so we can meet them soon. Seeing that scene reminds me that parents give their everything to their children so that we get to live a good life. And it happened durin Christmas, the time when you really miss your loved ones and it will be great if you could spend even just a day together with the family, and I just realized that. I am so grateful that I am fortunate enough to spend the happy days with my family every year. There's still many people who don't get the chance to have that, and I hope this Christmas and new year, we all get to spend it together with our family.
