'Tis the Season to be Jolly ...

Christmas is definitely my favorite holiday!

I always look forward to the glorious food. I always look forward to seeing and being with people whom I haven't seen for some time. I always look forward to more family time. But more than all of these, I always look forward to celebrating the birth of Christ, the reason for the season - the reason why I look forward to life!

My Christmas officially started by attending the LA Foundation Christmas Party at PAGCOR, which I truly enjoyed with all the food and being with people. Sayang, wala akong prize na uwi .. pero enjoy pa rin .. hehe

Next came the LA Christmas Party at Camp Holiday, Samal, which I actually think was a Summer Outing .. hehe. I truly enjoyed the games and I felt bitin ... hehe .. Lingaw and gi-career jud ang games :)

My third party was with a few of my high school batchmaters. As usual, it is always nice to have a blast from the past. We were not that many but it sure did not dampen our spirits enjoying each other's company.

Then, the next party I attended was with tenants of the JMS building. Of course, I enjoyed the food. But I had to leave early because I had an exam the next day. But I heard that they really enjoyed the party as well.

I think I our visit to the Home for the Aged was also party. I hope they enjoyed our visit as much as I did.

Class party came last Saturday and that was fun as well. It was indeed a hep hep hooray event!

Of course, the Christmas Eve dinner with the family is an event which I look forward to. No, we were not dressed up to the nines but we made sure we had food on the table. I prepared Italian spaghetti (na medyo na wala ang pagka-Italian kay my mom insisted to have white sauce on top of it .. hehe), blueberry cheesecake, ham and a strawberry flat cake (na dapat short cake pero wala niburot mao flat cake na lang .. hehe)

I also enjoyed the fact that we had gift-giving with my dearest lola around. I am not sure if she gets that's its Christmas because of her Alzheimer's. But I am happy that she has a smile on her face.

Yes, indeed .. 'tis the season to be jolly!
