WHAT WE DID ON CHRISTMAS DAY!

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope everyones having a good time today celebrating Christmas with your loved ones. Today is Jesus Christ birthday, our savior. The main reason we celebrate this season. Let’s not ever forget that! I grew up in a Catholic family and we celebrate Christmas mostly by going to the church and praying. We tried our best to attend the early morning mass for the consecutive nine mornings before Christmas. In the evening of the 24th December, we all go to the church attend mass and then go home almost 12 midnight. And by 12 midnight, we have a feast called Noche Buena and the whole family eat together. Huh! I miss this kind of tradition. It’s just so different here. I don’t feel so much the spirit of Christmas while I’m here. It makes me a little sad.

Anyway, I was so excited to wake up today because I couldn’t really wait to see Rianna’s reaction to see her Christmas presents. I ended up waiting for her for few hours as she didn’t woke up until 11 in the morning. I didn’t want to wake her up, so I just let her sleep longer. Today was a relaxing day for me. No worries, nothing to think about. I put on music and just enjoyed being awake alone while Yanna was still sleeping. I feel sad though for celebrating Christmas alone, especially last night. I had few plans to do for noche buena, but I ended up having nothing. I felt so sad and all I wish was to be with my family in the Philippines and celebrate Christmas the Filipino way. I even made one wish/goal. To hopefully celebrate Christmas next year in the Philippines. I just didn’t feel the spirit of the season while I’m here. I don’t understand why.

So much for that, when Yanna finally woke up, I asked her to change clothes and then to come to the living room and check if she got something. At first, she refused and was being cranky so I waited again. She finally came out and then walked to the living room and was surprised to see the play kitchen and the presents. She was like.. “look what’s that?” pointing the play kitchen. It was a funny reaction. :) She wanted to play the play kitchen right away, but I told her to open the presents first.

She opened the presents and was so happy each time she saw whats inside. I got her more toys this time and no clothes. But I did bought few shoes for her and a Mickey mouse electric tooth bush. She wasn’t so happy about the toothbrush though. After opening the presents, she played the play kitchen and I just let her enjoy playing while I made food.

Even though it’s just me and her, I decided to set the table for lunch. Well, why not? We don’t have so much food. Cookies and chocolate cake we baked yesterday. I ended up eating alone. Yeah… merry Christmas to me! Yanna went to check Santa’s presents for her at her fathers. And she came back later. In the evening, we were dancing like crazy until we both got tired and now it’s time to go to bed.

Christmas day is almost over. I’m still waiting for my Christmas presents. Haven’t got anything though. I cannot wait. It seems that Christmas isn’t over for me. Well, until I get my presents. hehehe… kidding!!! My friends and I are planning to have Christmas party and exchange gifts but we haven’t set a date yet. So yeah, Christmas is extended here. Seems so!
