Caroleen’s Treasures

a warm Christmas greetings to all who are celeberating Christmas as well as the ones who aren’t. It was like a tradition that we are “celebrating” it together with my sisters, BIL and Uncle Tony and Auntie Carmen (BIL’s parents). I don’t want to create some discussion debate but the reason we don’t have Christmas is that we don’t believe that Jesus Christ was born on the 25th of December. Hey, hey….don’t shoot any questions because I can’t answer you. Why we still have a feast during Christmas eve and give presents on this day is because we grew up with a Catholic father who observes this holiday and because there are kids in the family. It’s harder now that Ella has so many questions about Santa and Christmas. She gets pretty excited each time she see Christmas trees with lots of ornaments and lights. She was very delighted and gamely posed at the tree and the chimney at SM the other day.

Sorry for the photo but I already picked the best shot. I don’t know why Donald can’t take decent pictures.

I have explained to her about why we aren’t doing Christmas but kids are kids and you cannot just break their hearts like that. Even me loves Christmas and was anxiously waiting for it when I was a kid. Although in my innocent mind I know we don’t have it….maybe there’s nothing wrong to feast with special dishes and give gifts during this day because it’s like a thanksgiving for all the blessings we have received and because we have a little girl who looked forward to this day.
