Imagine living your entire childhood without Christmas—no tree, no lights, no presents, and no holiday magic. In this video, I share my personal journey of experiencing Christmas for the very first time at the age of 18. From growing up in a strict environment where celebrating holidays was forbidden to finally stepping into a world filled with festive cheer, this is a story of discovery, joy, and the power of new beginnings.
