Hiraeth
The Welsh know a word to describe a homesickness or longing for a home to which one cannot return, a home that maybe never existed: Hiraeth. It also stands for the feeling of nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for the lost places of one's past.
At first I didn't know what I wanted to write about for my hiraeth assignment. There are a lot of memories I wish I can return to but the one that caught my attention was The Perfect Christmas. When writing my first draft it was really bad my story was all over the place and unorganized. After having our conference I knew what I had to do, being more descriptive and to be sure to revise my work so that it'll make sense.
Below are the links to my drafts of my Hiraeth assignment, in which I describe an experience with my family celebrating The Perfect Christmas.
