Holiday Selfies

Christmas and New Year celebration at home is one the busiest times for all of us. Aside from the busy preparation of food for Noche Buena and Medya Noche (Medianoche), my parents are also particularly busy with their sari-sari store.

Together with Bella, her Tita Den Den and Tito Dodong, we attended the Midnight Mass. It has been a family practice to wear the same color of shirt or dress every Christmas and New Year’s Eve. This time we went for Royal Blue or any shade of Blue for Christmas then Red for the New Year.

Another exciting part of the celebration is the photo op with our friends and the rest of the family. The most excited among all of us is our Kuya Macky who are into taking endless selfies. He was so enthusiastic about taking selfies for him to post in his Facebook Account. I actually labeled his shots as holiday selfies.

We also deemed it necessary to take photos for the occasion to send it to our family members who could not spent the holidays with us. Even if we are physically apart, in that way, we can share with them the joy of the season.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to one and all!

A Christmas Away from the Family

Christmas is one of the most anticipated celebrations in every Filipino family. As a family, we usually gather as one to celebrate this joyous season. One of the most unforgettable Christmases we had was during the year 2010. It was such a happy time with the family wherein every one of us made an effort to really come together as one. It was also our first Christmas celebration with Yoshi, our newest nephew that time.

That was our Christmas celebration four years ago. This coming Christmas we wished to celebrate as happier at it was before but I have a little apprehension about it because our eldest brother will not be with us. Macky’s father is working overseas and with his contract, I believe it is impossible for him to go home. This Christmas is going to be his third Christmas away from the family but despite the distance, we will try to do everything to make each other feel special this coming Christmas season.

What about you, how do you plan to celebrate this Christmas season?

Christmas Greetings!

Merry Christmas!

Macky would like to greet all of you a Merry Christmas. His celebration of the season will not be complete without sending everyone his warmest Christmas greetings!

To celebrate Christmas, Macky attended the evening mass with his neighbor friends but did not went  home right after the mass so he missed the fun and bonding in our street party. He used to join the annual street party sponsored by our most generous neighbors but this time preferred to have fun with some of his friends.

He went home just in time for the family Noche Buena and was very delighted with what was prepared on the table. As a family tradition, when the clock hit 12MN we all gathered around the dining table to pray for the whole family and thank the Lord for his goodness all throughout the year.

Macky would like to send his love and Christmas greetings to his Mama, Papa, and to all his relatives especially in General Santos City.

Merry Christmas to all of you. May you celebrate the season with joy and thanksgiving!
