Home this Christmas

Food, glorious, food! (A Marquez gathering would never be complete without shrimp!) The entire family came over for a triple celebration - from Lola’s 72nd birthday to Tita Tin and Tito Gary’s anniversary, and of course, Christmas! It was a night of singing, dougie dancing and eating. Mom sure knows how to prepare a feast!

My fave freshly baked bread rolls.

Butter in Christmas shapes!

Mom makes the best creamy leche flan.

I don’t know what started this. But we do it for the pictures every year. Haha. I love my family! ♥ Spending New Year’s Eve with them again later! :)

I was looking back at my posts from my first Christmas at tumblr. The year just went by too fast don’t you think. But a whole lot has happened this year and I’m grateful! Happy Christmas! :)

ang ingaaay!

Someone got my family Magic Sing for Christmas. So, we have officially become the loud annoying videoke singing neighbors (well, my parents and sisters. hahaha. I’m just tumblring).

Oh wait. Other neighbors are videoke-ing too. Double ingay. :)) Happy Christmas!

(my parents are singing If I Ain’t Got You now. feel na feel pa) :| funny =))

Yezz yezz yezz.

Before people start to whine about the gifts that they won’t be receiving, or the people they want to be with on Christmas, or they don’t feel the Christmas spirit at all, they should go down to the basics of Christmas: what do we really celebrate Christmas for?

Answer: The birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Sure, traditions are great, getting material things are awesome, and seeing our loved ones is nice as well, but the true meaning of Christmas lies in our hearts, commemorating the birth of Jesus. And we shouldn’t forget that. We shouldn’t let the other brouhahas of the holidays overlap that.

We should celebrate and remember Him. And God’s unselfishness and love for us. On this day some 2000 years ago, He gave His only Son to live amongst us, and die for us to save us. Shouldn’t that be reason enough for us to be happy on Christmas day?
