This year, though I am away with my loved ones, I am still happy and thankful that we were able to celebrate the birth of Jesus in our own little way.

I had “Noche Buena” with my HUSBAND & baby Tannia via Skype (4pm London time of the 24th). We had exchanged lots of love, giggling and fun on the webcam. At that moment, I never felt that they were miles away from me. If I could only literally hug and kiss them, then I will be the happiest! But that’ll do for the time being. :)

Here in England, they don’t celebrate the Christmas Eve or Noche Buena, so obviously everyone is sleeping soundly whilst Father Christmas (Santa Claus) is getting his way inside the chimney to distribute the presents for not-so-naughty kids.

In the morning (25th), I had to go to work until 3pm. When I get back home, we had a lovely christmas dinner, just me, dad & tony. We greet Mama & our relatives in Vegas via Skype as well. We opened the gifts, cards and christmas crackers.

I’ve received pressies & cash from my parents, from tony & from our residents and employer at work. I still have lots of pressies to open from Vegas when Mama comes back in two weeks time (I can’t wait for my Clinique make ups & Victoria’s Secret stuffs).

Simple celebration indeed, yet it was all felt deep in our hearts. I really hope my husband and baby Tannia will be joining us next year.

Happy Birthday Jesus & Happy Christmas everyone!!! <3
