I've always envisioned Christmas at our clan's residence in a small town I call 'San Teodoro.' I always celebrate this occasion attending masses while wearing fab outfits with my family and relatives. Hence, I can honestly say that there is nothing really new about this Christmas except for another year in our lives and the various changes it brought to us.
How was my Christmas? Well, here it goes:
I haven't been to San Teodoro until the eve of December 24 because we were cooking and baking Christmas goodies at our house in another town. My mom, aunt and sister prepared baked macaroni and pizzas while I was facebooking, sleeping and taking care of my mom's business.
We got to the Feraren's residence by 7:30 p.m. I prepared for the 'Misa de Gallo' and attended the 3-hour mass then . The mass ended by 11:00p.m. and I was assigned to look after my grandmom who was bedridden until morning. However, by 12:00 mn, we had our very own Noche Buena.

This is me by my Mamu's bedside. I took care of her until morning so I barely slept on Christmas Day. |
We attended the Holy Mass by 9 a.m. on Christmas day. I was there with my mom, dad, aunts, uncles and cousins. We were wearing our special outfits for Christmas.

My Christmas does not end there. After a day of pictorials, eating, chitchatting and gift-giving, I went to Calapan with Mara to attend Dr. Nuestro's own version of Christmas party.
