Joy in my eyes, love in my heart, all the pains and suffering, the ups and downs that I passed through this year have been pushed to one side as I sit down comfortably to reminisce and evaluate my performance this year, and this same time, bask my self in celebration for seeing the end of this year, and I am almost at the beginning of next year, 2025.

The wishes of a merry Christmas, and the sounds of Christmas songs, is that of intercession, connecting both the new year to come and the already ending year, in a conversation of evaluation of the previous year and determination in the new year, to set new goals and achieve them.
Though this year came to an end in a giffy, it ran faster than the fastest man, flash. Truthfully, I am happy. Hearing the sounds of kids giggle, seeing the happiness in the eyes of these children while they run around, playing and wishing me a happy Christmas, feeling the aura of love coming from a stranger which don't normally happen on a normal day and having my friends drag me out when i come back from work, is enough to keep my heart warm, and sweet.
It's weird. When we were kids, we get everything, the goodies. Christmas clothes are purchased before the 25th of December. Mom prepares rice with lots of chicken in it. We are allowed to go out, have fun, play as we want and do whatever we want. There's quite a lot of flexibility in terms of going against house laws. But now we are older, adults per-se, we don't think about those stuffs no more. Before we used to cry if we don't get our Christmas clothes, but now, we don't necessarily need a Christmas cloth. Nothing special about it, just like a regular sunday to hangout with friends, eat, and drink.
My Christmas is, welp, going smoothly and I'm enjoying it, except for the fact that I have to go for morning shift during that day of Christmas. It's quite a drag ya'know.
Christmas is red and white, but, the red that I will be seeing is that of my patient's blood when I remove cannula from their vein, or insert a cannula in there vein, or when i want to carryout a procedure. Weird right? To me it's worth it.
I am not actually going to celebrate this Christmas like a regular person would. Though I could go out and have fun after my morning shift, but, I don't really want to. Instead, I will use that time to get enough rest. Lately, I have been working off my ass, and I think I really need some rest.
I received quite a lot of invitation from my friends but I had to decline. My school daughter did her wedding yesterday, and I was invited. She has been inviting me since the day she set the wedding date, but then, when this months duty roaster came out, I found out that I could not make it to the bachelors night or the wedding. It broke my heart, but thankfully, she understood.
This is how I am spending my last days in 2024. Though not really happy, I am glad that I could help people get back to their feet. That's all that matters.
Thank you for reading.
