At a first glance it is not really a photo contest material but as I have read the story, my heart was touched by this. Talk about having a small family, there were only the two of us celebrating these Holidays. Me and my mom only. Alright, my 4 pets as well. During these celebrations, we will only prepare small amounts of food on the table like a one meal, spaghetti and a salad and that's it. We will just wait for the neighbors to give us their "handa" ^_^ see? sometimes you will still feel luckier than some people who cannot even put food on their tables for three times a day. Thanks for sharing.
