AN: I PROMISE YOU THAT I THINK THERE IS A FEW #TOSELLE MOMENTS IN HERE AND I'LL TRY MY BEST TO MAKE IT VERY CUTE.

24th December 2013 is finally here. 

I seriously cannot believe that tomorrow is Christmas day. I have been in a cheery mood ever since yesterday. My mum had took off two days of work just to spent some time with me because she knows that we have been not spending too much time with each other. I am glad that she is home though, she can finally cook my favourite meals and we can fangirl over movies we love. When my dad passed away, our family Christmas celebration changed. Usually during the eve of Christmas, my dad, mum and I would wake up very early in the morning, drive to the best breakfast meal place to eat there then go grocery shopping and buy a few things like cake mix or something that is instant and you can just bake it very easy. The have a movie marathon the whole entire day. On Christmas day itself we will go to church and then visit our family and friends homes for dinner or something like that. 

I miss those days. But now we changed it up a little. We would have home cooked breakfast meals and then go out and buy a Christmas movie to watch also some popcorn. And since we are girls, we did each others hair and paint our nails like our home is a beauty salon. Jam out to wonderful Christmas music and have the entire day to ourselves. And that is what we are doing right now. 

I was painting my mum's nails and we were just discussing about The Hunger Games movie and how we wanted to watch it so badly. But instead we are watching a very old film called The Santa Claus, my all time favourite movie I have ever watched. Let's just say it was my very first time watching a Christmas movie who my dad introduced it to me when he came home from work. I remembered I was literally jumping up and down hysterically and gotten all full charge. My mum had to calmed me down even! 

When both of our nails were done and dried, we gotten ready the food and slot the disk into the DVD player. I set out a bunch of pillows around us and two blankets in case we get cold. I dimmed the lights a little and our home was like a movie theatre except there is no array of seats, just couches. Minutes later, my mum came back from the kitchen and there was a bowl of popcorn in her right arm and some carton of fruit juice in the other. I hurried after her and helped out as I can see she is having trouble in it. We set the food down onto the coffee table and rush back to our seats before starting the movie. I hit the play button on the remote and tons of memories came flooding back from when my dad, mum and I used to have a family movie night - but now it is just me and my mum. All I know is that my dad is probably here with us right now, sitting on the couch beside us, enjoying the movie. 

The movie ended at around afternoon and it was still a little bright outside but the atmosphere was gloomy. My mum and I both cleared the living-room area and washed the dishes, folding back the blankets and placing the pillows back neatly on the couches. It was such a nice movie and I think it was my fifth time watching this film. Every Christmas we would alternate different movies to watch although sometimes the television channels shows a bunch of great Christmas romance movies which my mum and I both enjoyed it a lot. Sometimes it is very saddening and we would tear up a little but if it is very emotional, we will cry a river.

As the night time came peaking out, the temperature became colder and I literally had to use two socks in order to keep my ugly toes warm. I was planning to stay up to twelve in the morning so to reach that goal, I drank two cups of coffee moments ago and was ready to take on the night. My eyes were wide open and I was just staring into thin air with darkness surrounding me. But to help me be not afraid of the dark, my nightlight is just the thing I need, I knew that when I had to stay up for something, I always have a night light in my nightstand drawer. And my mum thought I was too childish to have this thing.
