Happy Christmas!

We spent our Christmas in our house in Cavite. We went there last Sunday and back in Bulacan early this morning. This year’s Christmas celebration is “dry” because it’s just me, Abeth, Andre, my parents, and my youngest sister. We miss celebrating this season with them. We used to have exchange gifts on Christmas Eve. Now, we just eat dinner and have our exchange gifts on the Christmas day since my parents can’t stay awake late at night. At saka we were so tired that day because we cleaned our house the whole day and some unexpected guests arrived. We have nothing to serve them so I just cooked the foods that are supposed to be cooked for Christmas, hehehe. I cooked chicken pandan, shanghai fried rice, and pancit canton for them. My sister made some buko salad and crema de frutta. We also have bibingka from my MIL. We were supposed to have dinner in a restaurant, but since we’re all tired, we slept early then have our exchange gifts on the next day.

Every Christmas, I also used to have this Christmas Party for Kids in Cavite. But, this time, we’re not able to do that because of our very hectic schedule and because we want to spend more time with our parents before they leave. But, I will surely do this on the 29th of December to continue the practice I’ve been doing for almost 10 years. I love doing this for less fortunate kids. What I normally do is to have games and gift giving. I also cook spaghetti and hotdogs for them. It’s my way of thanking the Lord and sharing all the blessings we receive. I rally have to do have this party because the kids kept on askin me yesterday if there would be a Christmas Party. Nakakaguilty, kasi they’re all waiting for that because it has been traditionally done in our place. Basta, promise, I’ll be back in Cavite on the 29th but without Andre and Abeth because they have to go to my FIL’s relatives. I won’t be joining them because I have to do this Christmas Party and I will also be attending a reunion afterwards.

Gifts:

We haven’t bought our gift to Andre yet. Andre love cars. He really do! Everytime he sees cars, he kept on saying “Ka-ka-ka-ka!” That’s why we decided to give him a toy car where he can also ride. We’re planning to buy it later. My gift to Abeth is a pair of mags for his motorcycle. I decided to give him this pair of mags because he always get flat tires. And his gift to me is a new computer chair kasi my back is aching na dito sa old chair ko. But, we haven’t bought it yet kasi nga lack of time. But, it’s okay, I can wait naman.

That’s how we spent our 2007 Christmas.

I still owe you our Bohol pictures and kwentos. Basta, I’ll post them as soon as I can. Medyo bitin pa ang vacation, kaya I’m here at home, working for tomorrow’s deadline.
