Christmas Hibernation

December 25, 2007

For the first time in our life as a married couple, we didn't have anything planned this Christmas. Most of the time, we'd go home to my folks like what we did last year. Or at least, we'd go out and have Christmas lunch or dinner somewhere nice.

We did rent a nice cozy apartment in QC during that time where even our friends considered it their 2nd home. But this year, we are happy to say that our home has finally come to rest in one place — our beautiful and cozy house in Alabang.

But since my sister will be in Cebu, Mac will be working, Peter was having coughs and colds and my parents, well, for some reason, they kinda stress me out without meaning to, we decided to spend the holidays ALONE in our lovely little home.
