According to Wikipedia, December 21 is the 355th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and its 10 days remaining until the end of the year. It came to my attention that it was December 21, 1968 where Apollo 8, the first manned mission to the moon is launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida which this occasion always amazed me from the time my Science teacher in grade school announced this to class. How I dream to land to the moon also someday…

December 21 is also the 3rd Sunday of Advent and it is approaching the most awaited and festive occasion of the month – Christmas Day! The candles in the advent wreath is already lighted in the Church where I heard Holy Mass today and the representation of the Nativity scene is also ready which means Christmas is fast approaching indeed.

And most of all December 21 is when the important little girl of my life turns 1 year old and 1 month! We celebrate the occasion as a family with a festive dinner at one of our favorite restaurant.
