Iíll tell
you a short story why I celebrate my double holiday on Christmas every
year. My daughterís family left my former country ten years ago.
She had graduated from Kiev University and already worked, but she
left our former country because the Communist regime was difficult for
life. My wife and I stayed in Ukraine and we didnít know when we
could see our grandsons and daughter again. There was the possible
situation that we could never see them. My grandsons were too
young: the older was 16 and younger was 8. My daughter was
38.
Our daughter
manifested maximum effort for our coming to America. Then, in two years,
on Christmas, we arrived at airport of San Francisco after my daughterís
family had come here . We were glad to see and be together
with our children. And we were happy to be in San Francisco.
Thatís why we have double holiday on December 25. It was our reunion
on Christmas. Two important events coincided: our reunion and Christmas.
And every year we celebrate this date.
