Christmas @ My Place .

So, Christmas eve was spent with the family this year, as my relatives flew here from Kuching.

The feeling? Well I'll be honest and tell you that it was definitely different from the recent few years - not having something to prepare for the Church's Christmas party/Christmas party with friends/Countdown.

But one thing I've learnt is that Christmas is Christmas - no matter where you are.

It's a day celebrated in honour of Jesus, so wherever in the world you may be - Christmas is still beautiful.

Time spent with the family was good - you really have to start appreciating your family for all its quirks. Despite all of it, they are, afterall, your family, and I don't know about yours - I know mine will stand by me through thick & thin ; through it all.

The food spread was heavenly, and it helped too that my Dad's side of the family had small appetites :) I was the fattest female there. I'm not kidding you. I think whenever I fly back to KCH for CNY, they would look at me - utterly appalled at the amount it eat and the fat I seem to carry around with me wherever I go ;P

But still. We laughed and ate - I played with my two little cousins who pull off bangs so well; laughed as we each sat near the Christmas tree and Santa's two little helpers delivered our gifts.

I would say I'm very contented with what I received for Christmas this year. But I've always been. Because I've received the best gift of all.

So here I am, probably a few KG's heavier, a few hundred dollars poorer, but a million times happier.

:) :)

Treasure your loved ones - you never know what tomorrow might bring .

Much Loves !
