Christmas is coming, but....

I don't know if I will be home for Christmas as my KKN (Kuliah Kerja Nyata) will probably be held on December 21 2013 to January 31 2014.
Anyway, I still hope that at least I stay here on Christmas day although in my family, Christmas is not Christmas. Mom and I (maybe Dad too) always go to the church the night before. It's quite a routine for us, which has become as cold as winter despite the absence of that season. The soaring tree doesn't give me even a little bit of spring in my heart.
This year, my brother won't be present because he's still out there for his Master's degree. I sometimes wonder how he is but the reality is that we never talk much. I can only pray for him that he will be able to finish his study well and get back here with us.
If I were given the chance to say my wish, I'd want the feeling of warmth, the feeling of being with my best friends, instead of love and respect established by fear.  
And, still, I want to be home for Christmas.
