Merry Christmas
As for me, it was indeed an almost very merry Christmas. I say almost merry because hubby was not able to visit her family in Tandang Sora this Christmas. One of hubby’s niece have chickenpox and we were advised by our doctor that it is not safe and way too risky if we go there to celebrate Christmas with them since I am just on my first trimester of my pregnancy. Even hubby and Bela can’t go since it is also a risk that they might be carriers too after they got exposed with the virus and so there is still a big chance that I can get the virus from them. So hubby made a sacrifice and chose not to spend Christmas with his family this year.
But it is still a happy Christmas for us because we are complete as a family especially because we have received the best Christmas gift ever this year, which is an addition to our family, our second child.
We went to hear mass on the eve of Christmas and had our Noche Buena with my side of the family at my grand mother’s house. Then we had videoke after eating and went home around 12 AM. Bela stayed awake until around 1 AM so she woke up late the next day. But as soon as she sees her cousins all dressed up, she ran to the bathroom to take a bath as she is really excited to open all her gifts.
We had lunch at my grand mother’s house again and when all of us are complete already, we had our traditional exchange gifts. All the kids were all smiles after they opened their gifts, and Bela was the happiest especially when she saw that she has tons of gifts to open (I asked her not to open the gifts that she received from her god parents so she can all open them on Christmas day also). We spend the whole day, eating, chatting, playing, eating again and just having fun with.
By 8 PM we are all tired already after the long day and so we all call it a day. After all, we still have our New Year’s celebration to look forward to.
