It’s been a tradition for our family to get together every christmas’ eve in my aunt’s house, Ciniru. Biasanya malem itu kita dinner bareng, sharing2, nyanyi2, sing and pray together, kongko2 lah pokoknya!hehe…it’s so much fun! Makanya gw sempet sedih bgt waktu tahun ini bokap sempet pingin christmas’eve di Solo, dan ga cuma gw doang, tapi keluarga gw, tante gw, dan semua kaka sepupu2+ponakan2 gw juga kecewa pas tau klo kita ga bakal christmas’eve brg mereka. Tapi untungnya tiba2 Tuhan merubah hati bokap *saah* ampe akhirnya kita ga jd ke solo dan bisa christmas’eve brg di ciniru, as usual=)…
Seperti posting gw sebelumnya, gw cukup menikmati christmas gw tahun ini=). Sebenernya si gara2 long holidaynya si, hoho. Gw jadi bisa spend more time brg keluarga. Mulai dari 21 Desember kemarin, christmas banquet, seneng bgt bisa dinner brg dan nonton ponakan2 gw perform lagi kaya 2 tahun lalu *krn Christmas banquet diadain setiap 2 tahun sekali* with my complete family. Emang yang diundang ke christmas banquet tuh biasanya keluarga dari anak2 Morning Star Academy nya, dan di acara itu they always remembered us about how’s important family is. Setiap natal gw juga punya kesempatan jalan2 brg keluarga buat nyari christmas presents=),hehe.
Tgl 24 malem, sampe di ciniru kita dinner *Thx mamade!that was the most delicious meals u’ve ever cooked!*. Abis itu kita ngumpul, sing some christmas song, baca alkitab, sama ada beberapa kuis pertanyaan gitu, yang bisa jawab boleh milih satu kado di keranjang besar di tengah ruangan, hehe. Ada juga dad’s choir, haha! Sampe akhirnya, kids *people in that room that doesn’t have a husband or wife yet,that means including me!yaiyalah!* harus bikin drama ttg ‘what’s the meaning of Christmas 4 u’, tp krn waktunya sempit, dan ga memungkinkan untuk bikin drama, akhirnya kita cuma disuruh jawab satu2 aja…and these are our answers about the meaning of christmas for us :
Bung Ade : * he’s already being a dad!remember?*
Bung ua : “Christmas, karena berhubungan dengan akhir tahun, adalah waktu dimana kita harus instropeksi diri selama setahun kemarin. Flash back lagi berkat apa aja yang udah Tuhan kasih buat kita, supaya kita bisa jadi orang yang laebih baik lagi tahun depan”
Yvonne :“Christmas?? hmm…give the best present for Jesus lah, a new heart…*hoho,salting cuy!*”
Joshua :“Christmas is about giving. Just like the Heavenly Father above that has given His only Son for save us, sin people”
Masih banyak jawaban yang ada malam itu, tapi gw ga inget semua…satu jawaban yang paling ngena buat gw adalah jawaban dari my handsome neph *njiee…haha!*
Joey : “ Christmas is about family. Like this moment, it’s such a blessing to celebrate Jesus’ birthday every christmas’eve with people you love. Just like baby Jesus, Maria and Joseph, semuanya ga bakal terjadi klo mereka ga ada as a family. So, I do really hope that we can always get together to celebrate Christmas also every year like this, as a family…”
Pas candle light, sambil nyanyi “holy night”, we light the candle start from every head of the family, and they have to share the light to their wife and kids, then we pray together. Tgl 25 Desember jam 00.00 tepat, kita nyanyi lagu “we wish you a merry Christmas” brg, and my favorite part, bagi2 kado natal!hehe…
Besok siangnya, gantian keluarga nyokap dari cempaka putih yg dateng ke rumah buat makan siang. And as usual, para sepupu lelaki gw yang cilik2 *ga juga si* dan rusuh2 itu selalu bikin rumah jd rame ga terkira!hehe. And I got another Christmas present from my aunties!yei! Seneng juga pacar bisa dateng ikut makan, walaupun cuma bentar, hehe. That was the first time I celebrated Christmas with ‘a boyfriend’, hoho. Kita nonton DVD brg, jalan2 ke mall tercinta *yeah right* BINTARO PLAZA! Walaupun cape karena para wanita kebagian ngejagain anak2 kecil main2 di happy world, tp that’s ok…baru sorean kita balik ke rumah, dan mereka balik ke cempaka putih. Malemnya gw tontonin semua film christmas yang ada di TV ampe pagi, it was like I didn’t want to sleep cause I don’t want to end up this day, but it has to over, life goes on babe…
Am I too addicted about Christmas?? Hoho…yaa ga taulaa,yg pasti gw bersyukur bgt punya keluarga yang peduli bgt tentang pentingnya arti keluarga itu sendiri. Semoga perasaan ini ga cuma ada setiap natal doang, but every moment in my life. I’m just so thankful that I still have them, those people I love…
Thank you Lord for my dad, my mom, brothers, sisters, aunties, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, and all of my family…and also my friends, and every people I love out there…Hope they can feel the joy like I feel and this thankfulness that they still have people who love them around, God bless them…
