Bitter and Sweet Memories

Even though Christmas is still a month away, but everybody in the office seems to be very busy with their personal preparation. Realizing that I am just the youngest girl here and still in single status, I prefer do nothing but giving my hands when needed. This situation remains me of several Christmas times in the house. My Mom used to be very busy even for weeks before the Christmas Day. She usually does household chores, cleaning and laundries while making milk chocolate. She used to be very temperamental when no children of hers help or things are not in good order according to her instruction. We are not lucky because Dad was never able to get together with us for the Christmas. He had left me when I was still 2 years old. Well, I just consider that as bitter and sweet memories of me and my family, and my Mom does the same thing all the way.

She never thinks it deeply, and even by the time of Christmas Mom is always very sweet to everybody in the house or some visiting guests and she never loses her smile. However, it also gives me an idea of what I am going to take home later. I need to get something that will be very useful for the Christmas; or at least something that my Mom never misses for Christmas. I know that milk Chocolate will do the best as gifts for Mom, but I don’t think it is enough. For a long time I have a plan to make my Mom happy some time and I know that she once wished to have a pair of new earrings, and I am sure this is the chance for it. I am thinking of pairing the earrings and my Mom’s favorite milk chocolate together in one wrapped package. The package must surely be in good and beautiful performance. I have imagined what she will do and say to me…
