Christmas time is already here

And another year, Christmas has finally come to our homes. Tonight thousands of families around the world gather for the same reason, to celebrate Christmas Eve. Night when the baby Jesus was born. Possibly, this is one of the most special nights throughout the year. It is a magical night for both children and adults.

On Christmas Eve, families gather in full, those family members who during the rest of the year are far from home or abroad, they return again to share the excitement and happiness of Christmas with their loved ones. It is also an important night to remember all those family members even though they are not physically with us, will always be remembered.

Honestly, I find it very strange that today is Christmas Eve. It's been a year since the last time, a year full of memories, full of incredible moments that will always be in my memory. To be honest, until a week ago I did not want it to be Christmas, I did not feel enthusiastic, merely I thought that it should pass quickly because I did not feel to celebrate with family, or anything. But maybe it is just that Christmas spirit ends up wrapping us, seeing the streets full of brightly colored lights, crowded, excited by Christmas, typical Christmas markets, Christmas lottery, see the kitchen full of delicious food besides nougat mountains  ... All this fills you with joy, and I think therefore, this is what Christmas really means.

Personally, from a few years ago I do not like Christmas too much, but mostly because I hate winter, but this year it was different. It may be because of the life changing of when I started college, people, schedule ... this year I feel more excited, happier.

Tonight, and like the rest of Spanish families, I will go to my grandparents' house and there we will meet my uncles, my cousins, my other uncles, my other cousins, after dinner, gifts will be distributed ... summing up, the same mess of every year because there are a lot of people in my family. However,  I think this is what makes Christmas really cozy and pleasant, feeling the house full of people, full of voices, of laughs ... of illusion.
