27: Holidays in Arlington

Alex had been updating me about how I did enjoy my Thanksgiving and Halloween celebration with my LA friends, and by telling him, it was all fun. I then also asked him in return of how's his stay in Sheffield for approximately 2 months long, he also said, he eventually enjoyed relaxing and bonding with his family and relatives, composing carefully new lyrics for their album that they're supposed to be making by next year, he told me this great news, he said the recording would be occurring in Los Angeles but in the desert part, so we won't be distant again for too long.

Our call started around 9 in the evening and ended in 1 in the morning. He even swore about the time zones, wishing that he asked me first about the time, he was concerned of my sleeping schedule. Most of the call was him only making jokes in which he'd make me a fool about those and ended up laughing and laughing until my breath loses. He even updated me of how my activities in college for the past 2 months did go.

Now a month has passed, we celebrated Christmas party in the University, exchanging gifts were occurred and what I received was a cute reindeer plushie that I've been wanting for so long. I started to book my tickets earlier so that my slots won't get empty. My friends had to go home in their home countries, to commemorate the moment with their families. Perry, Bridgette, Abigail, and I are the only ones stuck in America for Christmas . We celebrated Mom's birthday in a simple way since we couldn't make it to our secured ranch due to the winter.

I was welcomed with warm hugs by my families for being distant from them for how many months. It was cold. I even wore a faux leather jacket for the flight since winter's already on occur. My father was happy seeing my flight was safe. I was happy too seeing my parents being happy for their only daughter and youngest child.

Now I was in my bedroom doing scribbles and writing poetry shits (since I've got nothing to do when it's holiday), I ended up writing this another piece;

'From autumn leaves to winter flakes
November passed but December flushed,
If only I could turn back time,
Wishing myself I'm in a forbidden English or Italian town.
And as the golden time kisses the hour,
I'd rather hold a four-leaf-clover than nothing.
Because every season and time have their own color.'

I was overthinking again: I picked Mass Communication as a major in college. Maybe I can benefit something for myself in the future in just this course I took.....

December 25th, the time of the year finally hit. The time where people would wrap smiles on their faces because of the exquisite gifts they had received. For this Christmas, we made a roasted pig and some barbecues. I kept Chloe and Daphne's presents inside my luggage, those were Barbie dolls, a fairy and a princess one.

"Sweetie, can you help me with this one?", Mom asked as she was still washing the dishes, the Apple pie was still on bake, I nodded.

Patrick and the rest of the family were sat along on the huge couch on the living room as they watched the Home Alone movies. A fireplace was there to warm them up despite of the freezy cold winter.

As mom and I prepared the foods on the table, all of them stood up from the living room and immediately made their way to the dining area. I was thankful enough to celebrate Christmas with my family despite of not celebrating Thanksgiving with them. Daphne was the one who lead the prayer and I just stood dumbfounded.

While in the middle of eating our foods, Chris interrupted:

"When are you going back again in LA?", He seemed to forget but nonetheless;

"January", I answered as I swallowed the chewed pork, "why ask that though?"

"Was just wondering . You gonna go and watch your band guy singing around?"
