One of the banes of people like me, people who are working away from their "home", is the somewhat incomplete celebrations of Christmas and New Year.
This year, Jakjak (and ourselves) celebtated Christmas with lolo, lola and kuya Andrae's family (daddy Arvin, mommy Gladys, Niki and Frankie). Which was better than our first Christmas in Singapore with only the three of us and a couple of phone calls. I'm pretty sure that the kids had fun, and so did their grandparents. Myself, personally, should have had as much fun. So the lesson is: do not think too much during the holidays!
Holidays, Christmas especially, is meant to be celebrated with people you love and care for. It's been said before, and it still remains true, it's not about the gifts but more about the people you celebrate it with. It is a birthday celebration after all (happy birthday Jesus!).
After all the presents have been opened and all the greetings said, we retired to a happy and restful evening. Lolo and lola will be spending some time with Andrae and the twins in Indonesia. We are now all looking forward to welcoming the new year with happier and healthier hearts and minds. Happy Holidays!
