F2F Class Notes (Cynthia)(S)

Actually Christmas gives me some beautiful memories. Like 18 years ago my classmates wrote Christmas cards and send to each other with their best wishes. And I collected all the cards in a box. Sometimes I will open the box to see the words from my friends. And you will feel happiness cause that time everyone is very naive and sincerely.  But now we just send a message to each other while lose some emotional things. When I step into work or society, I’m busy for my work, I don’t have have time to plan my Christmas. We will celebrate Christmas in company. Every time I stay at home or have dinner with my parents, because its difficult to align schedule because most friends they don’t have Christmas holidays because its not local festival so they need to work on that day. But I have Christmas holidays every year. Also it is a problem for my friends, because we don’t have the same available time. I think this year Christmas, I will also stay at home.

Actually Christmas gives me some beautiful memories. For example,  18 years ago my classmates wrote Christmas cards and send it to each other with their best wishes. I collected all the cards in a box. Sometimes I will open the box to see the words from my friends. And I will feel happiness cause that time everyone is very naive and sincere.  But now, all we do is just send a message to each other via phone. I feel that handwritten cards are more vivid, while text messages are just unexpressive. When I step foot into work or the society, I’m tend to be very busy from work. I don’t have any time to plan for my Christmas. We usually will celebrate Christmas in company. During Christmas, I either stay at home or have dinner with my parents, because I find that its too difficult to align our schedule because most of my friends don’t have Christmas holidays. Because Christmas its not a public holiday ,therefore they need to work on that day. But for me, I have Christmas holidays every year. This is a major problem for my friends, because we don’t have the same available time. I think this Christmas, I will also stay at home.
