As most are celebrating Christmas grandiosely, Jin Young Ko took a different turn at her celebrations. The 15-time LPGA Tour winner took to her Instagram to wish her fans a joyous Christmas and share her life’s insights. Ko narrated her dilemma of writing her post, deleting it, and then repeating the whole process.
She described the feeling as if she had returned to her college days and was trying to write her project. At last, she wrote the full project—the post. She started by wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and then expressed her contrasting feelings about snow; she loves to look at it, though cleaning it is a mess.
Moreover, Ko mentioned someone from whom she learned to get closer to God; however, she had “to let go of them.” Even then, Ko is trying to be positive and see if she learned more about God if she offended someone. She confessed, “I was upset, and I’ve got bitter and regretful memories, but nevertheless, I try to care for and pat myself. I have lived hard this year😌 (I praise myself so precious).”

Through the celebrations, Ko pondered, “Who was the most thankful person this year? What was my favorite thing that I spent the most time on?” She then wished everyone a happy Christmas and thanked them for their well wishes and prayers.
