there's no place like family

it's only been a little over 24 hours since i arrived in canada and i already feel very content and happy about the holidays. an unfamiliar feeling i have to admit, since i haven't had the opportunity to celebrate the season around family for quite some time. the past 6 years - christmas eve and christmas day for the most part, involves searching for a christmas dinner or party to crash or finding a friend without family to hang with (there's always somebody who stays in town) or going to the movies alone on christmas night.

the past 6 years i have tried hard to detach myself from the familial aspect of christmas but moving forward i will have to try harder and regain a better appreciation of the holidays. i have to re-understand that holidays is about family as i hoping to spend more christmases with them and the people that matter. after all - there's no place like family, there's no place like home.

merry christmas!
