I know I said I am done with my last post for Christmas but I like to share some snippets of some behind-the-scene moments that we simply enjoyed.
Armed with the two empty boxes of Olay, Nate started singing some Christmas songs of old. We urged him to go and sing for mom and his tito Josef while Nissa and I were laughing so hard because Nate felt so hesitant to sing in front of them. All I heard clearly was “thank you, thank you, ang babait ninyo, thank you”. A typical line I always hear from street kids during Christmas. I laughed when he said “there is five thousand pesos there” referring to the 500-hundred peso bill that he got. He counted the new crisp twenties and he was happy. I remember last year I also gave him a big piggy bank and he said that it is almost full. I told him to make a habit of saving.
We had our snack around 4 pm and Nate finished two big slices of pizza. He said he loved Hawaiian flavors but I doubt if he really knows the difference. As long as it is pizza, everything is fine with him. They waited for the dream cake to bake and brought home a tin together with two boxes of our native delicacy we call bibingka.
Obet and I were both craving for green mangoes so we had one each. Loved it with sweet spicy bagoong. A officemate gifted Josef with a jar of crunchy garlic in soybean oil. Perfect for dips with kalamansi and soy sauce.
It’s the second day of Christmas. ….♫♪two turtle doves and a partridge on a pear tree♪♪♫. Oh, I feel like singing.
Always strive to be happy. Joy comes when you are.
Glad to hear your Christmas fun is continuing Arlene.We had a very long day yesterday, so happy to be doing very little today.
Best wishes, Pete.

My grandchildren love to entertain us too that way using any available object as a microphone.

It was wonderful. We had to sit in a different pew since so many people were at Mass. The priest did a double take when he found us off on the side of the church!

Here, at these times Catholic churches are always full and we have at least eight masses during the day. There also masses held on television for those who are unable to attend mass in churches.
