Christmas: Joy to the World! 2008
Thursday, December 25, 2008
How have you spent your last moments of Christmas Day?
I've spent my time wishing as many people AGAIN on my MSN list. =)
You know, sometimes,
it really becomes a puzzle what Christmas is all about.
True, the main thing about Christmas is to celebrate the Birth of Christ,
but it's really amazing.
Regardless of Race, Language or Religion,
(uhhh not reciting pledge here,),
people celebrate it.
Regardless of whether it is a simple Christmas dinner with family,
Or if it's a party with family and friends,
people celebrate Christmas,
like it's a festival of giving,
and sharingthe joy.
And through some aspects,
you really can see what love actually means.
Yeah i know, Cliche`,
but that happens most of the time,
especially when i blog about something happy?
There are 12 Days of Christmas.
The 1st day with my family,
was great =)
Oh,
and i've officially decided to use up all the money,
in my bank savings account i started 3 months ago(It isn't much).
I'm going to buy something special, for a special someone,
whom i love very much.
=)
Anyway,
Christmas countdown party with Mom's side family was AWESOME.
The games that night was planned by none other than,
Caryl, Meryl, Sabrina, Valerie and me.
Credit really goes to them for the prep work and all,
i only carried things out on that night itself.
Great job! =D
..And omg, Meryl, You're lame to the power of 99 lol.
The food that night was GREEAAATTTT as well.
I really loved Uncle Meng's cooking.
He cooked oxtail and i had 3 bowls of it,
plus i drank the gravy LOL.
1st bowl ate the oxtail and carrots,
2nd bowl i just ate it with bread,
3rd bowl ate it with more bread and drank it all up.
whew, tasted damn good. haha.
It was a really cool spread of food,
cause everybody brought their own special something.
Wilbur's family brought some Filipino dish which was also super good.
Too bad i didn't have much cause it was gone realy fast ._.
Anyway,
Caroling with the family is also my favourite part of the party.
Although at the beginning i felt kinda down for a specific reason,
I felt better and i Carolled my lungs out.
Then afterthe entire thing,
the countdown.
and.. "Merry Christmas"
And i went around hugging my family members,
wishing them a Merry Christmas.
Then SMS started flowing in,
many many many sms'es,
Thanks to all who wished me via text!
My phones kinda lag now cause of the filled inbox,
but i can't bear to delete them either LOL.
Thanks to those who have made special dedications,
Especially Gilbert who's blog post really touched me and all.
Good memories, bad memories, altogether make what's worth of life.
=)
Anyway After that,
people starting giving their presents.
Thanks for all the gifts, i really love them =)
Thank you especaily godma and godpa,
it'll really come in handy and i promise i'll work hard,
and make good use of it. Thanks to Chris' Family as well!
Many thanks to all family members!
Well after the merry wishing and presents,
we continued a few more games,
and gave out AWARDS, haha.
After everything was over,
went to have supper at 401!
It was around 4am when my family reached home.
This was probably one of the latest family christmas parties in recent times.
There was once very long time ago, like maybe when i was in kindergarden or something,
we actually had our party till the sun came up the next day,
take note that this was with the adults so it's not just teens who don't sleep lol.
but anyway,
Christmas party was great.
Even though not everyone could be present,
and this year's group was kinda small,
our hearts are all still together,
intertwined.
Happy Birthday Jesus once again!
Lots Of Love,
Joel Jonas!
