So It’s Christmas

Christmas for me is yet another day. It was a quiet Christmas Eve in the Aguado Residence with the aroma of Noche Buena in the green and red biosphere. We ate dinner, waited for some time and treated the traditional Christmas midnight dinner as a mandatory round two. My sister and I watched the first episode of Grey’s Anatomy after fulfilling ourselves with Christmas-must-have-desserts and happily forcing ourselves to formulate Christmas greetings to send via SMS. It was a peaceful night, I can say. Too peaceful, one can say it initiates boredom. I actually like this kind of set-up–seeing my happy family in the dinner table without the cheesy factor is just enough.

Christmas Eve at the Receiving Area. Light?

We didn’t exchange gifts–because we just don’t. We didn’t greet each other Merry Christmas–because we just don’t. It’s not something problematic; it is just the way it is. I’m not bitter about it and I don’t have any plans to change this kind of scenario. Well, maybe, if I already earn a decent amount of money, I could buy all my immediate family members nice gifts. But for now, this will suffice. I’m happy. :)

Mom, dad, monster sister, Merry Christmas!
