As you grow older, there will be lesser family members that you will be living with or see in a usual basis. Why? Most probably they have their own lives now, own families and some might have been gone for good. When Christmas comes calling, it means a chance to get together with some of those relatives that you have not seen for a year or more.
Which is also true in Rosa's family. She felt happy every time Christmas is approaching cause it means she can see old faces again that she have loved in her life. She can also see new faces, her grandchildren. So, Rosa is busy preparing for the gifts, decorating their ancestral home and cooking some foods that they could feast on.
It is a season to be one big happy family again, Rosa told herself. You cannot keep everyone you love in one place and in one destiny, but at least you can keep them all in your heart and memories forever. So, when it is Christmas, Rosa makes sure it is something everyone could treasure and remember as they grow older.
