A day can be good, bad, or even the happiest one of our lives. What makes it special isn’t just remembering the past but reliving it, because days don’t simply pass; they shape us. Every laugh, every pain, every small moment leaves something behind. Even an embarrassing memory, like slipping and falling in front of a crowd, becomes something you can smile about later. Every second turns into a memory, and every moment adds a new layer to who we are. Just as each sunrise brings something new, every day carries traces of the ones before it, the shadows, the lessons, and the sparks.
Just like every day has something to tell, December 24 is none other than that. Here is a list of key moments

It gathers memories and lessons, gently preparing us for a fresh beginning. Days don’t just pass; they build stories. Every second becomes a memory, every moment adds a new layer to who we are. And just as a sunrise promises something new, each day carries the shadows and sparks of those before it.
