A minimalist holiday

 DRAFT 1

After the Christmas party ended on December 20, 2024, we went to Onederland. Walking past the place we always wanted to go ever since it opened. We captured it's beauty and enjoying the moment that filled us with an indescribable sense of joy. Although it was a fleeting moment, it was a cherish experience that will mark on my memory. Then the next few days that I have spent were a bit uneventful for me. I spent most of my time doing the usual, sleeping, eating, and scrolling through TikTok.

However, that Christmas Eve was a highlight. We gathered as a family for the first time because usually it was just the four of us, my mother, my two siblings and myself. It was kind of gloomy since my father couldn't come back home to celebrate it with us since he is in Singapore. Our uncles and aunties from my father's side were there anyways when we celebrate Christmas. Despite not having him around, we were able to enjoy. We played games, won prizes, enjoyed delicious food, and also exchange gifts. We also receive an ampao that our auntie from Canada gave us. It was a blast!

 

Then on New Year's eve, we started the day by attending the church, followed by a relaxed evening with my family, eating, sharing drinks and conversations as we wait to greet the new year. As the clock struck midnight, we cheered, jumped with excitement, and welcomed the new year. After the celebrations, we settled down and eventually went to sleep. It may be just a simple celebration for us but we were still able to make it memorable.
