Christmas Spirit Shines Amidst This Pandemic

             Christmas is celebrated to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, who is widely believed to be God's son. Family traditions bring us closer together; they provide each member of the family a sense of belonging; they produce happy memories that will last a lifetime, and they give us something to anticipate. Every year, we Filipinos celebrate Christmas, which is one of the longest holidays.

I am happier because I got to meet my siblings which caused me to be a little more dedicated to my s
