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.
With that spirit, let’s look back at some moments and history from December 7, ready to relive and reimagine them once more.

As December drifted in softly, it also brought the winter’s chill. From the very start, the month holds the power to shape how the entire year will end. Its calm, unhurried days invite us to pause, reflect, and complete what we once began. Bathed in gentle winter light and cool, quiet air, December reminds us that the closing chapters of a year often define its story more than we realise.
