When Sickness Visits On Christmas Day .               

                 December 25th, the day we celebrate as Jesus’s birthday. “She will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel (which means God is with us)” (Isaiah 7:14). As I have said earlier, this is one of my favorite days of the year. Unfortunately, this time my Christmas was spoiled by cough, severe throat pain, fever, and other discomforts. After the Christmas Mass at night, I was not even able to speak clearly, as I had partially lost my voice. The very cold climate here made these health issues even more difficult to handle. So, this Christmas was not a very happy one, but since I am at home, I still feel okay because I can be with my family.
