Navidad en Sureste

I'd like to wake up, open my window and feel the first snow that falls on the tip of my nose. I'd like to walk in the neighborhood and see frosty the snowman. But most of all, I'd like to be near my home on christmas day.

When I was a kid, Christmas and snow are always full of magic. Sneaked out from my room just to wait for Santa Claus on the Christmas eve. My dad would tell me, 'Jangan di tungguin, ga bakalan dateng did kalau kamu tungguin kayak maling gitu.' (meaning: Don't wait for him, he wouldn't come if you're waiting for him just if you're waiting for a thief to come)

Well, and I tried to be asleep, and still, couldn't turn off the excitement to wake up in the Christmas day.
That was the night of December 24, 1999. And my wish was to have a bicycle from Santa.

When the clock hit midnight, I heard a talking soft voice. My first thought was, that must be Santa!

So I opened the door quietly, hid behind the huge christmas tree, and peeked out at the source of the voice.

It really got me surprised. There was no Santa, no one, but my dad. Talking on a phone, trying to rush someone. I was so curious to know more about what he was talking about and to whom he was talking to.

After awhile, I caught tears in my eyes. All he did was trying to get the bicycle shop's man to send the bike immediately, because there was no time to wrap it anymore before morning, before I woke up, so I would believe that Santa had sent it to me.

I ran towards my dad and hugged him from behind. Since that day, I know that anyone can be Santa Claus.

Anyone can bring joy for others, and anyone can do something big without being big first (if you know what I mean) :)

Because Santa single handedly has to grant everyone's wish, he wouldn't have time to fulfill every of our wish. But we can, we can be Santa's assistant and bring joy to our beloved family, friends, and even people that we do not know that we meet in the street who seem like needing a help.

Kindness has no limit, and kindness spread, once it has grown in you, it will grown to people around you :)

Spread The Joy,
