Sky Lanterns - The Wolf Moon 2025
Have a great day my dear steemians!
I supposed not to join this time. It's about sky lantern which I never see in my workplace. How many Christmas that I been away from home. Before, I had no mobile phone, Christmas season , tree and lartern were all just appeared in my imagination. How to filled myself such season? I made a handmafe Christmas card and just kept it in my bag.
Later on, in 2012, I got a phone given to me by the daughter of my boss. I didnt know how to used it until , my friend from Kenya arrived to worked in the mother of my lady boss. . She taught me how to register in Facebook but I resisted since must spent money to open mobile data which was so expensive. I told my friend that the money I used to buy data is enough to buy food for my family. Then, she offered me she bought for me and I told her if she was sincere to her desires. She said, I will let you see your parent, your family and your son on how they looked after 5 years of not going home. It couldn't buy with money.
Then, I agreed on what she said and it was a Christmas season too. How happy I was looking at my family sending MMS and SMS. I saw the spirit of Christmas season at home thru messenger . That was the beginning of my Facebook life. I saw sky lanterns, tree and the place where Jesus was born. In the Philipinnes, they were alway making a table with the image of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus .
What is my Sky Lantern now?
Today is the first fullmoon of 2025. It is called the wolf moon. I went to the rooftop every fullmoon in 2024 and in 2025, I will kept the first it in my gallery and mark it. What made me realized to considered this as my Sky Lantern 2025 for the Dream Team of steemit. How interesting is it? Well, I will show you my Sky lantern and what significant I will give to you according to my understanding.
Thanks to the wolf full moon of January, I got a beautiful sky lantern of all time. It's just like a dream, but dream team of Steemit made my night realistic having this.
I considered the moon as my sky lantern because I have no lantern here. Looking up the sky with the beautiful light and it looks like smiling at me.m, its more than a lantern to a lonely heart like me who missed her family back home.

Oohh.. where are you dragging me this time my dear @olivia08 🫣😅 let me see, sky lanterns... Your sky lantern is the moon 😍 I love it! If I don't recall myself that I'm a human, I would let my inner she-wolf howling to the moon 🤭😉
Being away from home like you, experiencing home sick must be hard. Especially when you're living with people who didn't celebrate Christmas 🤗 so glad that you finally had the device to stay in touch with your family now.
Lantern in the sky, guide me to the one I belong. Don't let me cry, send love to whom I've been missing for so long😘
Living in Saudi Arabia without Christmas and I respect the culture , tradition and religion. They allowede to stay and treat me like human so I must respect them.
Don't cry for me my dear or for the one who lost in your sight. Having the moon as my sky lantern, dragged me too to remember my mother, father grandparent and my husband in heaven. A lot of things to consider about this .
Hi, why is the first moon called wolf moon? First time I hear about it. What is meant by a night later? A burning candle, a lamp switched on, street lanterns or the wishing balloon?
We had wishing balloons when young also for birthdays. Think forbidden no longer see them. Sounds that first phone was a life changer. My first phone was a gift from mom (also the second) and we both had the same to be able to text. Never used MMS and we still text. Data is indeed expensive. Thought if we are forced to use it, it would be cheaper and faster. Still wait for the free options.
I just only knew it from the internet. Before, I didn't knos that there is a specific name of the moon every month. This is the ecplaination.
Mobile data was so expensive before. thanks God now I am free from the wifi of my boss. When I am outside, I am offline . It's too expensive.
You are too lucky that you have your mom to provide phone. She loves you.
