almost Christmas babe
By Grace on Dec 24, 2007 in Family
P had a great birthday yesterday, I’d say one that is beyond my expectation. She was sick last Friday so we did not plan anything except to have a cake where she can blow her four candles, besides that, yesterday though a Sunday, was work for me.
Out of the blue yesterday afternoon, my aunt who work as a house helper for an Australian family here said she will be coming with her two wards. Whole day yesterday, P was still complaining of stomachache but when my aunt and the kiddies rang our bell, she sprang up to her feet!
She quickly forgot all about her stomachache and played and played. It was back to non-stop talking again. Looked like she had to have some friends around so she can forget about whining and sticking to my mom all the time and divert her attention to fun.
Last night we celebrated and tonight we’ll have some preparations again. Sometimes I wish I could have waited for another 24 hours of my already very long labor so that my family can celebrate our daughter’s and Jesus’ birthday altogether!
It’s Christmas eve, so what are you planning to do tonight?
Filipino friends have a little salo-salo in one of the condo units here in our place. Maybe we’ll just hang out with them until Christmas eve, chatting with the moms, “lak-lakan” for the dads, karaoke but not until midnight as we are in a Muslim community.
I really don’t feel the spirit of Christmas here…hope I will tonight!
Merry Christmas Gracie and to your family.

I’m glad your daughter ended up having a wonderful birthday.
We’re off to church tonight at 8:00, home to open a present or two, snap a family photo, and then I’m back to church for Midnight Mass. I’m singing at both masses, and I have a solo this year.
Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas!

I’m glad she forgot her stomachache and enjoyed her birthday.
As for Christmas Eve, I’m tired and full and ready for bed!
