Christmas Celebration

Posted by girlie on December 29, 2008

We had a very simple Christmas Eve celebration, well compared to the past years. I only prepared chinese ham, 3 kinds of cheeses, baked macaroni, french cookies with strawberry jam, grapes, red wine and spritzer for the kids. Even if it was simple, we still enjoyed the conversation at the table. I didn’t drink much either, just a glass of wine probably because I was very tired. I made 16 loaves of banana bread to be given away to relatives on both sides on Christmas day. I wanted it freshly baked so I did it on the 24th.

We visited the ILs for lunch, then proceeded to my side of the family at 3 pm for early dinner. It’s wonderful to be spending time with the family on Christmas Day. We get to see our loved ones, it was like a reunion.

After dinner, we proceeded to Trinoma for our yearly movie tradition, that is to watch a Vic Sotto film. Too bad the cinema was full, yep every seat was taken can you believe that? We were able to do our other Christmas tradition which is to adopt an “animal”. Will tell you more about it in another entry.
