The Magic is Here
We used to have a small shop in Batangas, and I remember how hectic it was during Christmas time. I've been a cashier, a sales boy, a box maker and even helped scout for pickpockets and shoplifters. I've done all these and more. But if there's one thing I didn't do, it's being assigned in the gift wrapping section. This was the expertise of my younger brother and sister, and it's something I don't know how to do.

Despite a lot of things I've been through, I felt Christmas again. Somehow. And it happened tonight in the funniest of timings- it was when I was wrapping my gifts for my family with my own hands. Yes, I finally tried it.

I guess watching them all those years somehow taught me how to do it. The moment I took hold of the Christmas wrapper, it seemed magical that I knew what to do. I was cutting and taping and cutting and taping. In the end I managed to wrap two gifts in less than fifteen minutes. Not bad at all. And the outcome is actually pretty good.

While I was wrapping, I was thinking about all the trials my family has gone through. And being together despite all these made me smile.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Longanisa is best served with rice, egg and coffee. In my province, you actually pour the coffee on the rice. Surprisingly it tastes good.. © Copyright 2006 Jovan Puyo.
