IMAGES OF CHRISTMAS 2007
Christmas is definitely over but the warmth and joy plus the holiday feeling it brings continue to linger. It’s a regular working day today in my part of the world but still, I feel too lazy to write. I am afraid this laziness will soon lead to some sort of mental-blogging block so I am taking the opportunity now to drop in a few lines and just let the loads of photos speak for itself.
So here goes, our images of Christmas 2007.
Early Noche Buena at My Mom’s. It will be a little too late for us to get home if we stay longer in my Mom’s home past 7PM, so instead of having dinner, we had an early merienda Noche Buena on the 24th. The food for the real 12MN Noche Buena isn’t prepared yet, so we just feasted on whatever is available in Mom’s kitchen. With the whole family munching on chicharon (LOL), two pans of pizza, and spaghetti ala Chesca at Mom’s Bahay Kubo, we’re solved! And finally, we capped the day with a visit to Dad’s resting place.

Doesn’t it look Christmassy with the Parol behind it at the window?
How about Chicharon for Noche Buena?
Hmm, a pan or two of Greenwich Primo Fully Loaded will do just fine too.
Yummy!
Spaghetti ala Chesca loaded with lots of ketchup and hotdogs. LOL.
Cousins Chesca and Nico sneaking through our
new angel in the family, Baby KC.
She’s still in the mood to smile in this pic.
Nico doesn’t mind what we’re eating,
so long as he’s got Chicharon to munch.
Baby KC’s feasting with us on Noche Buena too!
Drunken cousins.
They love one another, they even shared the glass of Coke.
Hubby feasting the odd-tasting spaghetti meal and the pizza
Mom’s wacky the whole time we’re eating our merienda Noche Buena.
Chesca got her first papasko from Tita Ninang here.
Disappointed? Well, she wanted some more of the bills.
My brother as first time Dad to Baby KC

Finally, a pic of me and Nico at Dad’s resting place.
Visit to my In-Laws’ on Christmas Day. The following day, Christmas Day, we went to the resting places of FIL and MIL. Spent a few hours there before we head to Tagaytay for a hearty Christmas Lunch.
Christmas Lunch at Tagaytay. It was a trip unplanned because the original plan was to attend a Christmas Mass either at St. Francis or Jose Maria Escriva’s in Ortigas, then have lunch somewhere near the area. But since we’re in the south already, we went all the way to Tagaytay for a hearty lunch and a visit to Pink Sisters’ Convent.

Congrats, congrats… I am so happy for you. Hang in there. I’m sure you’ll...
Mukhang masarap yang Spaghetti ala Chesca na yan ah. We call that Party Spaghetti…with ketchup and hotdog. Mmmm…sarap nyan.
I heard ang dami daw tao sa Tagaytay nung 25th. We were also planning to go but a friend who was already there said ang dami daw tao. Baka sa Feb na lang kami bumalik.
Glad you had a joyful and memorable Christmas
Oh I miss Nico. He is just so adorable. Your photos with the family are so heart warming. I don’t have a mom and dad now so it’s good to see you enjoying yourselves.
nakupo Cookie, sobrang lasang ketsup, sila lang ni Nico ang nasarapan sa spaghetti eh.
ay sinabi mo, daming tao sa Tagaytay. medyo foggy lang, pero Ok na rin, enjoy sa sight seeing.
hi Noemi. thanks so much.
I hope (but I’m sure) your Christmas was wonderfully happy as well.
Happy happy New Year to you Noems. May it be a year full of love and joy in the family.
