Thoughts on Christmas Manhua

The Christmas party at Sarah's place was nothing like Alice had expected. Surrounded by Sarah and her friends, Alice felt a warmth she hadn't experienced in a long time. The delicious aroma of roasting turkey filled the air, mingling with laughter and chatter. As they sat around the table, sharing stories and jokes, Alice felt a sense of belonging she had never felt before. Sarah and her friends welcomed her with open arms, making her feel like she was part of a family she never knew she needed. They exchanged small gifts, sang Christmas carols, and even danced in the living room to cheesy holiday songs. For the first time in years, Alice found herself smiling genuinely, her heart feeling lighter than it had in a long time. As the clock struck midnight and Christmas day officially began, Sarah hugged Alice tightly, whispering, "I'm so glad you came, Alice. You deserve to feel loved and happy, especially on Christmas." Tears welled up in Alice's eyes, but this time they were tears of gratitude and joy. Walking home that night, with a heart full of warmth and a head filled with memories of the evening, Alice realized that Christmas wasn't just about presents and decorations. It was about the people you shared it with, the moments of connection and understanding that made you feel alive. And as she opened the door to her apartment, she knew that she would never look at Christmas the same way again.
