before the clock struck 12 midnight, which was the exact cue for Christmas eve, i was at granny's place with the family, going through the normal noche buena preparation.
at 7:30pm we all slouched in the living room to relax a bit after all the cooking and baking we've all done. papa, not being able to attend their company's chrsitmas party (due to his boss unnecessary christmas cruelty) was a bit gloomy, but mom and tita joked around him teasing how he wasnt thankful to join us again for chrsitmas after lotsa years made the sitch lighter. thank goodness for the nonstiffy atmosphere.
by 8 something we dressed up for church and got ourselves in the shrine all good lookin by 9:00pm.
at 10:15ish, we got home and while in the commotion of tidying ourselves for picture taking, dad called and asked about the Christmas gift i told him in facebook. still going to make a proposal about it so im not sure whether he'd approve but lets just cross our fingers.
so the call ended and we took pictures, and we changed clothes and i did the cooking of the chicken by 11:15-ish.
also, mama did the christmas prayer for almost 15 minutes and it was 5 minutes before 12 when she finished it. it was exactly when i was done with the cooking so we started to dig in. because my mom and aunt were waiting for the christmas countdown in the radio, which the radio station didnt execute, we peacefully paused in eating our food when we saw the clock hit 12, and greeted each other and gave each other a kiss and ate again. tafter, i greeted a=the people in twitter while the family chatted over the food. they also had a video convo with some of our relatives and we finally had our slumber at 3am-ish.
though our christmas was nothing fancy, i was glad i was still able to spend it with my family..
mom and i being all vain.
