Everyone here is excited as it’s the first child for my sister and her husband. They are going to be terrific parents! Not sure how the festivities are going to go now considering we usually spend Christmas Eve together and that’s when we have a huge dinner and then open gifts at night. But this year, depending if the doctor allows my sister & nephew to leave the hospital, might be different.

Either way, I’m just hoping they are going to be well and healthy considering my sister has high blood pressure.

So now I’ll do my happy dance! WEWWWWWWWTTTTT!!

and

in case I don’t get around to saying it, hope you all have a safe MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

We’ll be opening our gifts tomorrow night on Christmas Eve. To be honest, I can’t remember a time when my family actually opened our gifts on Christmas morning. I think we’ve always done it on the eve before. We do this whole party too. My mother goes all out with cooking some Portuguese favourites, plus she cooks seafood by the bundles so everyone will have enough to eat. Half the time, we have leftovers of shrimp, crabs, lobsters, muscles, and even clams….yes…she cooks all of it. LOL. Afterall, we are celebrating. HAHAHA.

This year should be lots of fun though. My nephew is old enough that he can open his own presents, unlike last year where he was just a month old. So it’ll be fun to see him dig in as well and feel the Christmas spirit. He already knows “Ho, Ho, Ho”. He even repeats it sometimes. Plus, he smiles whenever you put on a santa hat.

He knows that the presents under the tree are for opening. I caught him opening one before and had to snatch it before he saw what it was. Ironnically, he grabbed one that was labeled for him too. Hahaha.

But yeah…Christmas should be definitely fun this year!

So, when is your family opening gifts?? Christmas Eve or Christmas Day??

Gosh, time flies by so darn quick. I can remember my childhood like it was yesterday.

Today should be fun though. My family is getting together to celebrate and even my close cousin (who is practically another sister to me), is also stopping by. So it’ll be great seeing her as well.

So anyways, I’m off to bed early tonight. Gotta be ready to rock through the day, so I need my sleep. Heehee.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

Woot woot woot. lolz.
