Christmas Celebration 2011

Christmas has come and gone. Time really flies fast!

We were fortunate to have some quality bonding time for Christmas. For the first time, I was not on a shifting schedule unlike the past Christmases when I was still working in a call center. Back then, I had to choose between Christmas and New Year when to take my holiday. Since my birthday falls on January 1, I always choose to work during Christmas. This year, I can choose not to work for the whole week after Christmas. Although I still worked by choice after Christmas, I feel fortunate to be able to rest for three days straight.

We had enough time to shop for gifts for my wife and my children. We opened our gifts on the night before Christmas. I got an extra fully pillow from my wife. My wife got a set of earrings from me. My eldest got himself another toy. I know in a few years he won’t be asking for toys anymore and would prefer clothes and jansport bags so I’m spoiling him while he’s little. After opening our presents, we proceeded to my mother’s house for the Noche Buena. The next day, we went to Church to say our prayers and to greet Jesus a Happy birthday.

And that’s how we celebrated our Christmas for 2011. How about you? How was your Christmas?
