Merry Christmas Eve! While everyone sits and opens just one little present tonight and eagerly awaits Christmas morn, we've already opened all our gifts! (Thought I'd just rub that in your face for a tad, okay gloating over)
My family and I will be leaving and spending Christmas to New Year's in Palawan, the most beautiful island in the Philippines. We've been eagerly anticipating P-day and since it falls on the 25th we won't have anytime to open presents then. So ding! Problem solved, we open our presents on the eve.
I only wish I could capture the laughs, the practical jokes, the carefully thought out gifts that were exchanged. But of course, we all got so carried away with the tearing of wrapping paper and the trying on of new clothes and jewelry that we barely got any pictures in. And the ones that were taken were quite blurry. Sayang. But it's the memories that count! And we'll keep them forever. But not the facial masks, those are a one time use deal. Keeping them would be kind of gross.
A little Christmas ornament my G-pa carved a few years back. We use it every year. Love you gramps!
I almost cried when I opened this present. It's this gorgeous bottle of perfume labeled Euphoria. Now to the masses that's not anything special, but to me it's such a treasure. Very few know the story of why the word Euphoria has such high meaning to me and maybe one day I'll blog about it, but it's quite a long story. Anyway, I had just shared this story and the symbolism of this word to my parents a few weeks back and as a gift to myself and as a sort of support I had it tattooed on my body. For them to find a specific perfume that has this word for me, it goes beyond words.
And this is my beautiful Mommy! She's wearing her new presents, what a darling. Once again, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
