HOME... is where Christmas is...

We, Filipinos, celebrated Christmas season the longest.  This season started on September and ends on January 6, during the celebration of the Feast of the Epiphany or mostly called it the Three Kings.

Actually, this was posted so very late because of a very busy schedule.  I have a handful of tasks lately being a working mother and a wife that I tend to set aside one, among the many, favorite hobbies.

I would like to share to you our very own Christmas celebration which was held last December 25, 2012.

We started the celebration with a lunch.  Each family brought foods to share and everyone enjoyed it!   Of course, Pinoy celebrations will not be complete without the presence of the videoke.. Anyone who wants to showcase their singing talents (even those who have not any of that talent) took a chance to got hold of the ever reliable Magic Sing microphone.


Upon the parlor games started, everyone got up from their seats and participated on the activities.  I prepared only a small number of games because we were all expecting the celebration to early since we still have toddlers that needs to rest early.

After the games, we had our Exchange Gifts.  We called it Manita-Manito.  Everybody enjoyed that day.

UNTIL NEXT CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION!

Here are the pictures captured during the activity :
