- When the holidays came, me and my family decided to visit our relatives in Tuban. We went there by car. After reaching the destination we spend time together by playing games, barbeque, and sorts of stuff. As time goes by, it's time for us to move to our second destination which is Malang. We went to an amusement park in Malang batu called Jatim Park. After our holiday, we went home and it was already time for Christmas. We didn't celebrate much with gifts and Christmas tree, but we did spend time by having dinner together.  I'm really grateful to have a family that still values the time we spend together and hope it will stay consistent.

I was happy during the Christmas and New Year’s holiday since so many things to do like : Christmas video shooting, connect in a family gathering to celebrate the event. Giving hand in live streaming in the church, hanging around with friends, watching movies in cinemas and going shopping are our number one recreation activities.

The value : As a family we can share our experience, having laughter together  while coming together in happiness and forget about the daily chores for a while. The burden of daily chores vanishes at least for a while. Hanging around with family becomes a special moment while walking in front of shops with their special Christmas decoration.

During my holidays on December, I have so much fun. I love to stay with my family at home. My holidays this time is all about food 😊 , because my mom love to cook and so do I, so we cook at home. My mom cooked the main menu and I made the appetizier and dessert. I am also very excited when it comes to Christmas, so I made candy, cakes and cookies (I have a sweet tooth, I can't get through the day without sweets food 😂). Almost every night I spent time with my family to watch movie and karaoke, I couldn't express how happy I am. We also went to Bandung, but we didn't stay overnight. We visited The Great Asia Africa, Trans Studio Bandung, Mercusuar cafe, we went culinary, and bought souvenirs. I feel lucky and grateful to be able to spend time with my family and for me nothing can replace this happiness.

-Marcellie Avenia 12 IPA- (Theme : Family, Home, and Love)            During my last holiday which is Christmas and New Year holiday, I binged watching Netflix series all day. I watched Emily in Paris, The Silent Sea, Our Beloved Summer and last but not least.. The Kissing Booth. I also cut myself from social for a while caused it's a bit tiring sometimes, but I still connected with my friends from another country with another app. I also spent my time by myself which is called 'me time' by karaoke, layed on my bed with the music on, read novels, baked cupcakes and got hibernation by took about 16 hours just sleep. I know it's sound boring but I think it's not boring at all for me. Beside my 'classic' routine that sounds boring on my holiday, my Family and I had a little vacation to Puncak for two days on Christmas eve. I spent my first day in Puncak at my grandfather's villa and enjoyed the weather with that beautiful view. We also played basketball, badminton and did planting.  On another day, we went to Nicole's Factory and Cibodas. I bought chocolate as my souvenir for my niece and I took a lot of photos like usually I do. We also had a barbecue dinner and we played fireworks.  Well, maybe it's not a big holiday for someone but I guess it was for me. I feel loved, grateful and home at the same time. By this small vacation, I realized that loved can be felt in the midst of silence so I would never let myself feel unloved anymore cause they don't texted me or talked to me.

There are lots of values that i attained on this Christmas and New Year holiday. Two of them that i want to tell you are family, and faith. In this pandemic condition, there's a positive side, which is time with family. My parents are super busy before pandemic, and we were rarely seeing each other. And when pandemic hit our country, they were working from home, thats why we finally see each other more. Then, when Christmas, me, my brother, and my mom, weren't celebrating Christmas Eve cause honestly we did not have a plan to spend the night to do something together, but then my grandparents treated us at restaurant to give us a Christmas Eve with family, althought they weren't celebrate Christmas. This was really touch my heart. From this time, i belive that even were not going to the church due to the pandemic for a long time, but God still with us and He already set a wonderfull plan for our life.

Activities : on this year's Christmas holidays I get beautiful memories with my extended family. The first time I visited my brother's house. I am very happy because I can meet them again. there I can play together, talk together, we can even sing and play music together. I was so moved when we met again during the pandemic. 3 days after Christmas, I got good news, namely family
big we are planning a vacation to bandung for 2 days, there we visited a lot of tourist attractions in bandung. Then there I also had time to play Uno cards with my brother. besides that we also joked together until we couldn't help but laugh. then after we went to bandung, we went home and met again in the new year. I'm glad I can play with my brother again, can play with my brother again. Christmas and New Year's holidays this year made me very happy, and also very touched. why excited? because I can interact again with my brothers and sisters and also I can give my time to have fun with my brothers and sisters. I hope the pandemic will pass soon and we can gather again to have fun together

I spent holiday on home, we just stayed on home during the holiday because there weren't a lot of thing that we could do during this pandemic and the situation, maybe the most good one when we went to puri mall to watched movie, besides of that we didn't go anywhere except for the important things,like made an id card for me,went to supermarket. and the rest of them we just talked to each other on home during the last holiday so it was short, not because of the time,but the situation of this pandemic made this holiday feel so short.

During christmas times, me and my family  didn't spend it out of town rather we celebrated it in our hometown, Jakarta. We mostly went out to eat, traded presents with my cousins and other family members, went to ancol for a bit of a vacation, have christmas parties on my cousin's house.

Me and my cousin mostly played PS 4 on christmas eve, and then we went karaoke to sing for a bit and then we went home, after we got home, i usually got on to play some games with my friends and then wait for the time tick until it's 12 AM.

On New years eve, me and my family didn't go out anywhere, we mostly stayed at home and then i mostly just play games, the special thing about that day is probably the time that i spent with my friends in a call waiting for the new years with them.

- My holidays (christmas and new year) went well, but it's not as enjoyable as before.
- first, when Christmas came, my family and i went to Puncak and we stayed at a wooden house, it was comfy and cold, the place was really connected to nature. I have 6 cousins that came, but i only spent my time with 2 of them.
- At new years eve, my family gathered and had dinner together. After we went home my cousin wanted to have a sleepover, so we didn't sleep until midnight and waited for the fireworks. We couldn't light up any fireworks because we didn't have any, so we went to the balcony and saw it from other buildings and houses.
The value that i got is that we can always enjoy our time when we are with someone or our own family even it is not that fun.

We watch movie at home together, and sometimes we go shopping to the mall, try many kinds of food, and many more. Honestly this holiday I want to be more productive with do more exercise, but I end up only playing games and watching movie, but I think it is ok as long as I happy. But I hope in 2022 i can be more productive.

So.. after school ended, we had holidays for about 2 weeks? I think, my family wanted to go explore Jawa for a week and so I went along.
I went along because last semester was the most tiring school semester I've ever had, from school work to event preparations, I needed a break.
We went to Cirebon, Salatiga and Semarang to try the local foods and goods, honestly it was pretty fun and the food were actually delicious and cheap like bakso babat and nasi ayam semarang, I got to eat a lot.
And so, after the trip We had a mini Christmas party+My Sis's birthday, so I ate a lot again.

Value:
Spend time with your family to feel happier, and also eat lots of food.

One moment that i feel is special during the holidays is reuniting with my cousin. They just came back from LA and my family feels like we haven't talk with them for a long time because we are so busy with our own things so we decided to have dinner and invite them. It was an amazing dinner because i get to talk with my aunt and uncle. One of my cousin is the same age as me so i can talk about university with her or what are we going to do in the future and many more. What value do i get from this moment is, even though we have no time or like we are to busy, try to make time at least for your family.

The value I got from last vacation is to value time more and also play as much as possible with your family because we know when the fun ends

I didn't do anything at all with my new year's holiday.
No christmas parties.
No fireworks.
No hanging out.
Nothing.
Just me, my family, a laptop, and my phone.
And well, I've got to say, it was one of the best holidays I've ever had, like for real.
If you think that you can't be happy by just sitting at home then you probably don't have anything to do and that's fine because  I get that this sort of thing isn't for everyone.
I mean it's not like I had anything to do either besides watching shows and playing games. But still, I think you could count that as "doing something".
People probably think that's a waste of time but I beg to differ.
Because I think the time you enjoyed wasting, is not wasted time.
It helps you have fun and enjoy life for what it is.
It is what it is.
My family also don't seem to have a problem with just staying at home, especially my older sister and my dad who are working from home.
Start working, in my sister's case.
Me and my family spent a lot of time together because of lockdown and I'm quite satisfied with just that.
I might be looking at the bright side of things though.
All in all, if I had to say, then my holidays were satisfying and I was happy.
That's all that matters

- My Christmas wasn’t bright. It wasn’t all merry, jingle and bells. I lost my father at the beginning of December due to cardiac arrest. I spent my whole December mourning, having a lot of remorse of what I did and didn’t do. The fact that my little sister who’s my father favorite child couldn’t do things together again with him makes me sad every time I think about it. We received great support from our family and friends. They are willing to help us with any kind of help they can provide. Nonetheless, I can not rely on others too much, I have to be more independent. I have to work harder so I can make my parents proud. I began to possess this mentality where I have to be able to do everything, to be the best. Through this moment, my ambition sparked to be a successful person.

During the Christmas holidays I did not travel out of town, my family and I just traveled in the city while sharing experiences with each other. Unity in this Christmas has a very big meaning, that without unity there will be no love in it. I spend a lot of my time with my friends too, we exchange ideas at night, it's really fun for me because a lot of ideas are poured out.

My Holiday went normal even though it wasn’t like the usual. I used to celebrate and have a christmas party with my family, but last holiday all of my family were busy. I thought it will be boring, but I was wrong. Having a selfcare time with myself at home was something I didn’t know i needed. From that, i got to know myself more and decided my resolutions for the next year. Things may went hard in 2021, but i learned a lot. Therefore, i reward myself while i was alone to thank myself for being strong all of this time. It wasn’t easy at all.
I am grateful that God gave me time for being alone during the holiday.

The values I received are :
1. It’s okay to be alone. Sometimes we need to be alone to find out what we want.
2. Holiday is not just about vacation, party, family time, or hang out with friends. We could discover ourselves on holiday and have a selfcare time.
3. Sometimes we need a break. It’s okay to have a break to give us a rest.

So during Christmas, I didn't do a lot of stuff other than playing games. One day, me and a couple of my friends were playing a game as usual, we had a goal to obtain a certain item that requires a lot of time and work and it also has a small percentage to be dropped by a certain entity, even with those chances we still proceeded to obtain said item. After 9 straight and excruciating hours, with a little bit of luck, we got the item that we wanted, and we were satisfied with the end results.
So what I learned from moment, is that eventhough we know the obstacles and challenges in front of us, that isn't enough to succeed, the most important thing in overcoming a challenge is consistency and persistent will come along way.

-After our school ended we went to Ketapang, Kalimantan Barat for our vacation. It started on 20th December 2021. Our flight transited in Pontianak where my mom could catch up with her college friend. We were taken to their favorite restaurant which served tasty ice cream. Good time always passes so fast. Soon we said goodbye to my mom’s friend and continued our flight to Ketapang.  We were picked up by our uncle, whom we have never met due to pandemic. We didn’t make any stop as we missed our grandma so much. After some tearful moment, we spent our time catching up with each other. For the next days, my brothers and I had a lot of outdoor activities.  I really enjoyed fishing. There were a lot of crabs spotted along the beach. I saw a type of fish with some spikes on its tail. I don’t know what it is called though. We used small squids and prawns as the bait to catch fish. I beat my brothers by successfully caught more fish than them. I never got bored waiting for the sunset there. I truly enjoyed my time being with my family there.   After a fortnight, it was time to go back to our city-life. It was hard to say goodbye to my family there especially my grandma. For me, this vacation was very memorable. I am so grateful for having the chance to meet my grandmother amidst the covid-19 pandemic.

Activities :
Family : During Holiday we didn't go anywhere since we still unsure about covid existensial so its just like typical stay at home activities (Sleep, Eat, Exercise, Watch Movies/Series) Something like that and on Christmas and New Year we have this quality time together going to church, Had a eating buffet and do some fun games, not much but it was fun when it doing it together as family.
Friendship : Online class was so tough to not hanging out with some of my friends, but not hard getting in touch from voice and faces using some a group voice call on a app. During Holiday almost every stuff we do it in this kind of way, like talk or play games together from there which is more than enough for me could meet and talk to them in this way because the important part is still could meet them.
Value : The Bond that i grew couple of this year with my family and friends since the stay at home protocol feel so exciting and happy, stuff that i usually dont see happened back in the day was actually could happened in this coincendential moment, it was the matter of time for me to find this kind of happiness but still doesn't mean its always feel this kind of way, 2021 was a tough year not only for me but for everyone and somehow we manage to get through it together with being strong as one and try to find happiness together from everykind of way with family and friends.

I spent a lot of time watching a lot of Korean dramas, Chinese dramas, and Thailand dramas during the holiday. If some of you want to watch dramas or variety show, you can watch it on apps called Viu, Netflix, WeTv, iQiyi, GMMTV, and Disney Hotstar. I also spent a lot of time playing and taking care of my pets.
I also went to an acupuncture place, because my mom told me to do it, it hurts so bad that I cried during the procedure. I really like holidays because I can sleep as long as I want, eat as much as I could, spend a lot of time to play with my pets and watching things that I like. By doing all of the things that I did during the holiday I feel very happy and feel very refreshed.
The value that I get is you only live once so do things that make you comfortable and happy

At the end of 2021, to be precise on December 31, my family and I in East Java, Tulungagung gathered together but unfortunately my first sister and her family who were abroad couldn't gather together because of covid, not only that because of covid my family and I couldn't go out of town or country like the previous year to celebrate the new year. Coincidentally my mom is a priest, so my mom decided to celebrate the closing service for 2021 at the church with my family and the church congregations, there our whole family and every family member worshiped God together and thanked God for what has been given in 2021, after worship is was over we all had dinner together in the dining room in the church then we and our family decided to go around the city of Tulungagung, when we got home at 11.00 pm our family start to barbecue together and also talked about life set every family member and don't forget to skype my sister and her family who are abroad to spend 2021 even though abroad is already 2022, when 00.01 am arrived, 2022 came and we played fireworks together after we finished playing fireworks, our family decided to watched netflix together and drank hot chocolate with marshmallows to start the year in 2022. During 2021, I was reminded to always be grateful for what God has given me in every life, good or bad happened because is God's permission, besides that life does not need to be luxurious to get happiness, it is enough just to get together and also build relationships with family that is already very happy more than anything in this world.

theme: friendship and family
During the holidays, I spent most of my time inside the house, playing games with my friends. Literally 24/7. And because of that, I grew closer with them. Other than playing games all day, I also went out with friends 2 times during the holidays. One was to attend a friend's birthday party, and the second was to have dinner with two of my friends.
Since I had more free time, I also talked a lot more to my mom. I had a really great time talking to her. And then for the new year, we went to my grandma's house to gather with our relatives and eat together. It was very fun, and the food was great.
All of these made me realize that I'm very fortunate to have the friends and family that I have today, and I should cherish them all and give my love to them before it's too late.

Happy New Year 2022!

- On 2021 Christmas and New year's holiday, I got dozens order of my brownies business. So, before Christmas day I got very busy and rarely have time for my family. I barely have time to answer my family texts or calls and even to text/ call them back. Therefore I start to have problems in communication with them, especially with my mom. When I've finished half way of my business order, I start to reflecting myself what's the problem. Because I start to feel lonely, unhappy, like something is missing. Then I start to pray and read bible verses. Realizing it's the Christmas eve and I haven't greet my family anything. So I brave myself to come and ask my mom to have a mass together. Then, after we had our Christmas eve mass, my mom ask me what happen to me? it's supposed to be holiday, i should have time to at least have a dinner together (my family tradition). And I tell her that I was burnt out from making my orders on time so i have to sacrifice my family time and even my own feast time. And my mom start to remind me that life is supposed to be balance. Especially when it comes to family, family must come first. I have to at least have a spare time for my family. And I think this is the value of my 2021 Christmas holiday. It is to have a balance life, no matter how busy we are, we must spare time for our family because it's the only place that will always be for us. our family is our home. And from that on, I try my best to communicate with my family every day or at least every weekend and have a balance life. On 29 December where I've finished all of my brownies orders, I spent my time with my family all day long. We cooked together, baked together, had Christmas movies marathon together and mass together. And I really value that every moment I've cherished with and for my family.

Theme : family, time and tradition
Last holiday, I didn't go anywhere just at home and hanging out with my family.  It's not that special but the time to gather is very memorable and it's nice to be able to gather when other is busy, during the new year I spend time with family and friends it was a beautiful moment because we could gather with family and friends after a long pandemic. We start preparations to welcome the new year after that we start to barbeque. A very simple but very memorable moment.  Considering there isn’t much time to be able to gather with full family.
The value that I got is time was very important, people didn’t know when it’s time to leave and it's better to use the time to gather and talk to each other to make a beautiful moments in this short time with the people that we loved

- Theme : Home & Reconnection
- I spent most of my time at home. I had dinner with my mom on Christmas. It was quite a rare thing for us to do. We live in the same house but feels like we're not that close. From that dinner I sort of felt a little bit of connection with her. And after Christmas I also had another dinner with my friends, it was fun. On the second week of school break I eventually went out for several days. I visited my friends that live far away from me. It's hard to meet them, so I wasn't going to waste my chance this time. I packed my stuff, ran (I'm actually not allowed to go because it's too far away), and had a sleepover with them. They're fun and loud people. I tried new things with them and we went to places. I had a great time. After that I went on another sleepover at my grandma's house. It's been a long time since the last time I saw her. It was a tiring sleepover because I was doing chores all day, the house was pretty dirty. But I'm happy, cleaning the house was my intention to go there anyway.

I learned that anywhere feels like home if you're with people you cherish a lot. Doesn't matter they're friends, family, spouse, or anyone else, if they give you the comfort of home then be with them. And visit the ones that were beside you, don't let distance break the connection you have. They were part of your journey.

When we are at home, there are nothing much to do. But we still had fun by playing games together, cook together, and eat together.

My theme is Family and Friendship.
After Christmas, me and my friends went out to eat dinner together and that was a really fun experience for me, because I got to finally meet my friends and hangout with them. As for family, we had a nice dinner at one of my aunt's house and watch some fireworks, the food was great, we played games. And I also got a gift from my aunt, which I love so much, and it's a really pretty necklace. We got to have some funny moments where we started to notice my grandpa is missing, turns out he was sleeping in his car.

The value I got from this holiday was, friends and family have such an important role in your life. They give you the love you deserve as a person. To those who have a bad relationship with their family or friends, I hope you will find someone who will give you the love of how a true family and friend should.

Theme: Family

During the holidays I mostly spend a lot of time with my family at home. It might sound normal, but for me, being able to get together with all my family and spend time together is something special because it's very difficult for us to get together because of our busy lives.The value I can give from my experience is that family is the most valuable thing in this world, no matter how busy we are, family is everything.
-Money can buy everything but money can't buy time.

I hope that in 2022 all families in the world will always be blessed by God.

- On my Christmas holiday, me and my family went to Semarang to meet my big family and celebrate Christmas together. I haven't seen my big family in a very long time, so this Christmas is very special to me. My grandfather had a stroke since June so we want to surprise him in Semarang. We ate Christmas dinner and spend our time together. The value that I get is sometimes, our presence means alot to someone. In this case my grandfather. He's been fighting stroke for 6 months and our presence means alot for him.

-Last holiday I got a lot of important values for myself, where at that time I spent a lot of time communicating with family and friends at home, such as playing games together, and helping my parent.  Unlike normal days I can also relax myself from remedial tests and assignments

even though it's only at the vacation home, but it's fun for me.

I learned to appreciate the time that even though it was only a few weeks but that time I spent with my closest people

and it was very valuable.

Thank You God

- Theme: Family and Kinship
- My holiday with my family wasn't that spectacular, we didn't travel anywhere outside the city. We sometimes went to the mall and others, but mostly we spent our time together staying at home. Even though, last holiday's experience was totally different from years before, but I truly cherished moments I could spend together with them. I am grateful to God for I could learn about the importance of kinship in a family in the modest holiday I had, I could also learn to appreciate time together with my family more since it's going to be hard for us to be always together when we are back to our own daily life's bustle. It is always better to be together with family rather than being all alone.

The themes I choose are faith and family. Last Christmas, I finally went back to my church after one and a half years to celebrate Christmas with my friends and family. The value I got from The Christmas celebration is that I feel connected again with God and be grateful always. This holiday, I also spent time with my family since I don't have many school tasks and projects. I learned that I should spend my time more with my family and should appreciate every moment during my life.

- Theme: Time & Family
- Before going back to school, I spend some of my holiday going on a trip together with my family. Through this moment, I think this holiday taught me a lot especially about time and also family. We all know that time keeps going on and we can never stop it, which means that each second that we have is very precious. Before Christmas, everyone must be very busy with their own work and as a result, we rarely have time to spare some of our times together with our own family. This holiday trip meant so much to me and I felt like each moment and each time that I spend together with my family during those times are special, fantastic, and seriously unforgettable as we got to put our works away and have fun together. Therefore, from this moment, I learned that each time we spend either alone or with the ones we love, we should appreciate and be grateful for it!

Holidays and special days occupy such a unique space in our minds and memories. I don't remember what I did last Wednesday, but I remember the feelings of Thanksgiving three decades ago. I remember who was there, where we were, sights and smells, feelings of comfort, family and love. Holiday traditions of the past stick with us.

Whether we are looking back or foward to holidays in the future, we often go straight to the details. We remember the who, when, AND where of holidays. We think back to the homes we were in, the people around our holiday tables, and the things we shared. When we look to holidays coming up, the plans we make focus on the same - who we will gather with, where we will go, what we will do.

It makes sense that we find comfort in these details, rituals, and traditions. Traditions and rituals bring us connection to the past. They give us a sense of predictability. Traditions situate us in our families and our histories. They give us a sense of belonging and stability.

After a loss, traditions big and small sometimes have to change. Part of coping with the holidays as we grieve is planning for the traditions we will keep, those we will change, and those we will leave behind.

A Refocus on the "Why"

In those moments when all we can see is how much things have changed, of the traditions that we can't carry forward, it can be hard to see anything else. We often think that, if the holidays can't be the way they always were, they can't be meaningful.

Let's get one thing straight: No matter what happens, the holidays are always going be hard and bittersweet. Losing traditions will never be easy, even when we adapt. This year is making that more apparent than ever. Separated from family, many of us can't go to the places we would have gone. The who, where, and how have disappeared and we are left trying to figure out what that means for our holidays. This is where the "why" becomes crucial. When we ask 'why' and look at our holiday values, we can shift from things that have to change to things that we can retain.

Values

Values underpin countless areas of our lives, giving us a sense of meaning and purpose. Sometimes we are very conscious of our values. Other times we get so caught up in what we're doing that we forget why. Taking a step back to connect with our values can shift this focus. It can remind us of the meaning and purpose behind that traditions and rituals that mean so much, but that have to shift.

Values can serve as a compass. When the path we were on disappears, our values can serve as a north star. The specific path still might not be clear. We might take some twists and turns. But by keeping connection with our values, we can still move in a direction that feels consistent with the meaning and purpose in our lives.

Holiday Values

The thing about values is that they are different for each of us. The values that guide your holidays are unique to you and your family. The process is simple enough - sit down, either alone or with the family with whom you would normally be spending the holiday, and start listing the values that are an important part of your holidays.

Next, get creative. Start listing ways, big and small, that you can connect with those values. Keep in mind that it may look totally different than years past! There are no rules and the holiday may take a very different shape. But with values at the core, the what, where, when, and how become far less familiar. The values are the continuity. They can begin to provide a sense of meaning and belonging, even as we shift our traditions.

Not quite getting this whole values thing? Though values are different for everyone, some common holiday values are:

Value Review

Once you have made your list, begin a list associated with each value. On each list, write down things that connect with that value that you will do for the holiday. All ideas are fair game, no matter how far outside the box they are. Some may be traditions that you can continue. At this point, don't edit or filter any ideas out.

We have a holiday traditions and holiday values worksheet you can download and print to help you with this exercise.

Once you have at least an idea or two for each, you can go through and make decisions, narrowing it down if you have too many ideas, and expanding on ideas. Some of these may be personal, individual rituals and traditions. Some of them may be family traditions and rituals, to be decided as a family.

Take advantage of 2020 as a year where we have all learned to be more flexible, for things to look different. Check out our creative ideas for a virtual holiday and/or read our ideas for new holiday traditions after a loss. Be open to whatever works for you.

Keep a Wide Open Mind

If it's a taco bar for Christmas because that was your loved one's favorite meal... then do it! Maybe movies and board games are what bring comfort... then movies and board games it is! If in-person volunteer service was always part of your holidays in the past but the places you volunteered aren't allowing in person service, it can be easy to think "Oh well, I can just wait until next year." But if that value was important, get creative. Find online volunteer possibilities, or find a way to informally serve and support people you know.

Just remember, there is no one way, there is no right way. Though at the holidays we often focus on family traditions, personal rituals in grief can be just as meaningful. If you keep you values at the center, no matter what, where, when, and how you spend your holidays, you will have that "why" at the center.
