The week preceding Christmas, I was starting to bake cakes and candies na for our family dinner and also for our elderly neighbors and volunteers at the church kitchen. Christmas was spent with family. My elder sister from LA and my cousins from the Bay Area came to spend the Christmas eve with us. We went to attend the evening mass at my aunt's parish. After the mass, the choir where my aunt is part of it, sang beautiful Christmas songs that reminded me so much of home. Christmas dinner on December 25 was spent with family and close friends whom we consider already as part of the family. We were partying until 2 a.m. The day after Christmas, I was busy preparing for the Indian wedding cake.
December 31, I was busy preparing for our New Year's Eve dinner - still at my aunt's. We bade good bye to year 2008 and welcomed 2009 with the clicking of champagne glasses and bonding with family and close friends. We ate, danced, sang and laughed a lot until past 4 a.m. We didn't go home anymore because we didn't want to take the chance of being stopped by highway police patrolling the streets. New Year's day, we attended mass at 10 a.m. and we came back to my aunt's with the family who spent the night before with us. We had brunch together of eggs and bacon and leftover sud-an from the previous night. We came home about 2 p.m., changed and got ready to go out again with my aunt and her family to the mall and had dinner.
I had a fun-filled holidays and I hope that year 2009 will be blessed for all of us! Happy New Year again kaninyong tanan!
