Day 10: Canada

It's Christmas Eve!

Mommy's been preparing our christmas dinner since morning, after breakfast. Mom prepared kare-kare, bicol express, fried lumpia, vegetable salad, fresh fruit salad, green jelly with palm, while relatives sent and brought dinuguan, roast chicken, roast beef, leche flan, fruits and desserts. Invited guests to celebrate early christmas dinner with us were Nana and her family, Ate Heidi and her family, and Ate Cecille and her family.
Nana distributed her gifts and kids lined up and waited for their names to be called. Santa came to town!
I enjoyed feasting over dinner as I have my hands free for myself as Winter was just sitting on his own at the corner of our sofa.
Just as before leaving for the Church, Omar handed me his gift for me. It was a necklace. We agreed that we won't be giving each other gifts for we already spent for our birthday gifts for each other which was celebrated just a few months' before Christmas. Good thing, I also brought something for him hehe.
We attended Mass at Fr. Lorenzo's parish with Ate Heidi and her group for the choir.

After the mass, we went to the Javiers to celebrate Christmas. Gifts were piled up at the Christmas tree which occupied the whole room. By midnight, Jovette and Benjie started distributing the gifts. Summer was sleeping during meal time but come gift giving, she was up and actively waiting for her name to be called. She was so happy hearing her name to be called a lot of times and would pose to her Ninang Jenny for picture taking for every gift she was receiving.
We just collected our gifts and did not open there, just like the rest. We went home so we could start packing as we are scheduled to fly to Florida tomorrow and will be heading straight to Manila after. This is my last night at Canada =(.

Merry White Christmas!
