Christmas on a Smaller Scale
Strange, I think this year is the first I can remember of having such a small Christmas: only 6 of us, without any kids around. Didn’t quite seem the same without the younguns’ going crazy during the gift exchange; nevertheless, it was some good ole’ Hilao fun.
My aunts & I drove down to San Diego early Christmas morning with a few presents, lots of Filipino food, & big bottle of wine
I got to check out my cousins’ new pad & met Elisa’s fiance Frankie for the first time… Congrats to you both!
Meeting their adorable cats Prince & Samson was the highlight of our day trip… Hope to see all of them more in ‘07.
Somehow not only for Christmas
But all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others
Is the joy that comes back to you.
–E. B. White, 1899-1985
Looking forward to ringing in the New Year with an old friend:
