Happy Christmas to all

Here comes the major celebration again in countries around the world, "christmas day".

To my family in the Philippines: I missed you all. I believe that the best christmas gift for us is to be enjoy being together but so sorry cant make it this time. I hope on next christmas we will be all together. Even all of you are so far from me, but in my thoughts and in my heart you are so near. -Happy Christmas to you all-

To my friends:
Trusting, supportive, ever ready to lend a helping hand, and understanding a friend is all of these and much more. They are our confidant with whom we can share even our innermost feelings. A friend understands what troubles you even when you haven't uttered a single word. Its about time you thank your friend for being what he/she is - a wonderful companion you could not do without.. -Happy Christmas-

And to my dear readers and guest:
May the Christmas season
fill your home with joy
your heart with love
and your life with laughter.
-Happy Christmas-



-Happy Christmas to all-

Christmas celebration

This is my fifth christmas not in the Philippines.
I'm usually visiting my family in the Philippines once a year but not in christmas season.
My sister is now start planning about organizing a small family christmas party, and hoping that we (with my husband) could join.
But its not that near fly to Philippines to celebrate christmas in there, hope the next christmas.
So, my sister is busy about, like what and who.
What will be the give-aways, or gifts?
What will be the games?
Who will contribute for this, etc.
I promised to contibute the letchon baboy. I have still small sister, the youngest and small nieces too so I am thinking to prepare some questions about geography and who can give the correct answer will got a prize! I think it will be interesting! of course I will contribute what will be the prize, at least even we're not there but do something to make the celebration more meaningful..
Can anyone has other idea?
