Christmas

So Christmas is finally over. Too bad though, it's short. And the worst part is I worked Christmas Eve and day... =( That's one of the downside of working in the medical field... there's no such thing as holidays off... lolz.. but it's all good I guess..

Christmas Eve, after work, I went straight to buy my last minute Christmas presents. And believe it or not, I am not the only one doing this! Almost all the stores I went to had long cashier lines.. sigh! And I have waiting.. hahaha! Then I planned to have my last-minute pedi and manicure. But of course, the nail salon I go to is already close... =( So I went back home and started getting ready since we're going to eat at my in-law's house. While getting ready, we talked to my parents and brother online, who are celebrating Christmas in the Philippines. I miss the Christmas in the Phils. .. i miss spending time with my fam, the great delicious foods, and just being there where you can really feel that Christmas is in the air... One of my ultimate wish before I get too old to travel, is to spend another Christmas in the Philippines. But I'm not too sure when it will happen, but I'll make it happen somehow... lolz...

So we went to my in-laws' house. They were supposed to go to 8pm mass, and we were supposed to go to 12mn mass since my hubby's still at work til 11pm. But we all finally decided to go to the midnight mass. So we just hang out at the house until then. It sucks though coz I didn't bring my clothes for church, so I ended up wearing whatever I'm wearing that day.

We finally went to church and after the mass, we went back to my in-law's house and watched the younger ones and my parents, open their presents from us. We were all in a budget this year, that we agreed that all the older ones, don't have to exchange presents this year... we might resume it next year, who knows... maybe when the economy is better. ;)

So after that, we went home and now, we opened our presents... One thing for sure, i'm happy with what my baby gave me.. I've always wanted a Canon Rebel XS, but everytime I asked for it, my husband always says no. He said, I don't need it and what we need is a sound system for the house... lolz.. But i continue to argue that yeah, I don't really need it right now, but i "want" it! And i know i can't always get what I want, but for this christmas, I did! =)

Yey, so the next step is learning how to use it! lolz.. So after opening our presents, we all went to bed since it's been a long and busy day.

Christmas day, nothing really special... We all went to work, except for my brother, who opted to play basketball on Christmas day.

And today, after-Christmas, I am blogging in front of my laptop, and sick. Urgh! i hate being sick. I hope i'll feel better soon...

So how's your Christmas? ;)
