I've always been a girl that loves to receive stuff. Be it a card, a gift or even a little note. That's partly the reason I love to do cards for others too. And my mum would always say: " You do so many cards for people, you yourself also don't get back much " and I admit, I do feel hurt some times when I don't get back any cards or gifts but what matters is THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS right? Well, I am still learning to not expect anything in return la. I'm human and I'm not perfect right? Hahahah xD My mum would also always say that " You do for people, you think they will keep? Even if they keep, one day they will surely throw away. So you put in so much effort for what? " Well, I don't know about others but I have kept each and every card that has been given to me since 2009: Be it Christmas cards, Birthday cards, appreciation letters etc. The only reason I don't have someone's card is cause I misplaced it in my room. Somewhere... But I definitely won't throw away anything that was given to me.
It's Christmas again and I'm just so thankful for the people around me. As the years pass, I do get lesser cards. But today, I've learnt that being able to spend time with the people you love and treasure the most is so much more important than the cards and gifts. This Christmas, all I want is to be able to do just that with the people I love - spending quality time with them.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
