Christmas Sweets – Bringing Oneness in Friendship


It is so heart warming to be with friends before and after College Graduation Day.

The day before the Graduation Day, my friends and I decided to meet up in a certain place where none of us have completely been to for the sake of another new adventure but in the end we all met up in one of my friends’ house. We planned to meet before Graduation Day so we could chit chat or may be recall some of our funniest and never ending college experiences. We didn’t prepare much as to what we’re going to eat but one thing we didn’t miss to bring was the Christmas Sweets. We all laughed for the fact that each of us really found the effort to bring chocolates to lighten up the atmosphere of us being together.

We remember that the Christmas Sweets first came to us way back in freshmen year. All of us like chocolates but neither of us usually brings food during class because we are afraid that our professor would notice us munching chocolates and trace chocolate marks on our uniforms during his/her class and would put us all in detention. Well, nobody wants that, of course, but I can see it in their eyes how hard it was holding back to their cravings. That’s why we just meet after class and gather what we’ve got and lay them down the cafeteria table and savor that precious moment of having the break to spend time together, discuss our lessons and assignment, even gossips while sharing the same food that we all like so much. This went on until we reached Senior year in College. We even had the Christmas Sweets when we all talked about our plans for the future. That was the best. I wonder if we will still have our favorites when we will be working.

A month after the Graduation Day, again we all gathered. Upon seeing each other, we all noticed the same thing, change. Few changed their hairdo, others their lifestyle or way of living and others their viewpoint in the real world but one thing that did not change was our likeness to one thing that bring us together despite our differences – the Christmas Sweets.
