This Christmas was my best ever, as far as I can recall.

We managed to shop following a wish list for the orphanage (despite having to traipse all over town in search for tricycles, remote controlled cars and handbags! amongst other things), organised drinking water bottles for the entire brood and most importantly, delivered them on time!!!

We hand made Christmas cards to all our friends. That was SO MUCH WORK!!!

We made an effort to decorate our home for Christmas. Well, the intention was to decorate it beautifully but when I became pregnant, I left the job to the Hubs and Tee. And let’s just say they did their best 😉 I was initially horrified but then I let it pass. It was Tee who decorated the Christmas tree entirely by herself. It was Tee who directed the Hubs where to put what on the front door and where to hang the streamers on the wall……bless her.

All month leading up to Christmas, we would always tell her that Santa was watching her and this resulted in her asking if Santa could see her naked……haha……

This year, Tee got her Christmas stockings filled by Santa. She had wanted a kite and had written a short note to Santa a month earlier to say that she wanted a kite. On Xmas Eve, she left cookies and milk out for Santa by the lanai, near all her Christmas stockings. She said she was going to look out first thing when she wakes for evidence of reindeers in her lanai through their smell or if they leave any poopie behind. Ewe….

On Christmas morning, whaddya know!!! Santa had left her a thank you note and she was ABSOLUTELY THRILLED!!!! when she read it!!!! Her eyes also dilated fifty times when she pulled out a mini kite from her stocking!!!! JOY……………PURE JOY to see the magic in her eyes. Then she asked, how come Santa didn’t get my harp? And she couldn’t find any Reindeer poop so we told her that the reindeers parked downstairs and Santa climbed up to the window like Spiderman.

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner with the family and the air was filled with so much love and laughter. On the table was a new aged strawberry salad, cheesy tomatoes, almond butter brussel sprouts, rack of lamb, roast chicken, devil’s curry, chilli chicken, Chinese green vegetables, chilli fish, freshly steamed prawns and for dessert, there was strawberry cheesecake (made by Tee), strawberries and cream, panettone, home made sugee cake (baked by Mom, the best) and glorious chocolate. You missed it, Jamie!!!

It was great. It was heartwarming. It was splendid. It was perfect.

Tee waiting anxiously to open presents. Check out her tree.

We had run out of Xmas wrapping paper so Tee drew her own on mahjong paper for her present to her Nana.

Tee opening her presents in front of an audience.

This samseng….she pulled every single fire cracker there was on the tree (more than twenty!) but for every one, she was terrified of the noise. And the person who pulls it with her has to hold her as she would pull so hard that she would fall backward!!

Little crowns (amongst other cool things) came out of the crackers and she made everyone wear a crown.

If you look closely, you’d see the crowns on our heads. Sorry I had to wipe everyone’s faces out because I haven’t got permission from them to show their faces. And if you look even CLOSER, exactly on the top right of the photograph, you will see a whitish smokey ball, also known as an orb, or an energy ball.

I researched it on the net and apparently, they are spirits who attach themselves to pockets of energy and it gets captured by the digital camera because light is reflected by a dense amount of dust in the air. They can be good or bad, even angels. After looking through all the photos of the evening, I discovered lots of them thus can only conclude that there were lots of angels there with us that night, as the mood certainly was a cheerful one.

This left everyone going home with that spooky feeling!!!

At the stroke of midnight, everyone went a lil’ crazy………check out Tee’s great grandmother’s very cool bald spot.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
