Since we moved here in the US, we don't get to celebrate the noche buena feast and the traditional opening gifts when the clock strikes at midnight - - -so girls are looking forward to waking up early (yes..at 4 am, i heard) so they can rummage through the mystery boxes!
Is there a difference when the girls were 5 years old versus the teens in front of me eagerly waiting for their names to be called??? Hmmmm...
I wish my dad can see them now --for sure, if he is alive, he' ll be spoiling all the "G grand kids" -Arbie, Anna, Michele, G1, G2, G3, Jenny, Joan, Gabbie, Ryan and Gerard...
Oh well..to my family across the miles ..... Merry Christmas (Thanks to my brother Jojo, for the generous 7 lb ham last night! Yeah! )
To my nephews and nieces - -----your fave aunt is not a millionaire yet (in dollars) ...but I'll save and buy more stocks next year --so you guys can enjoy the elite life when I retire in Manila !!!!
