We all have have just celebrated Christmas! Now it's time to talk about our celebration, isn't it?
I had a very plane Christmas since I am away from home and celebrating any Christmas all alone is quite boring:-(... Now that I have decided to ask about your Christmas Celebration and feel happy about your Celebration.So, How was your Christmas celebration? Who did you celebrate it with?

By the time Christmas day started, I was with my boyfriend. He visited me in our house. We ate Noche Buena. After that, we went to his relatives. I slept. I woke up exactly 12 noon. It was not so hot. The weather is fine. I went out with my mother to buy a karaoke player. In our house, people our coming to ask gifts. There are also friends of my father. They are having fun drinking and singing. As well as eating. In the night, I attended mass with my boyfriend. I can say that I celebrated Christmas fruitfully.

narthan: Yes. We have had reports of it being celebrated well by our friends. In Tamil Nadu our CM also hosted a xmas party.
I am not a christian. however I enjoy others celebrating it. Our neighbors they invited for christmas - they kept xmas tree and lights. it was nice . Chocolates were exchanged.
It is nice to give others and take back small gifts.

Hi Ravisivan,
You are very true in this regard. Even, I am not a Christian but then I think religion should not be a barrier for any kind of Celebration. I see any festival as a occasion where people get united and celebrate for one great cause with love and respect towards every other individual.
Regards

Christmas wasn't that special this year but on the other hand, it was very nice. It was just one of those years where I knew Christmas was coming, Christmas was celebrated because it was December 25th, and we all had a good time, one day where we could just kick back, chill, and have a rather great time. So that was a good thing.
I think the best part of Christmas this year and perhaps also the part that took a bit away from the day is how warm it was this year and the fact that there was not one bit of snow on the ground. But it did make for easier travel so that is good. Still Christmas is over, now back to business as per usual whether we are ready for it or not.

Our Christmas have been a great one this year. We went to mass. Then we gathered at our grandfather's house (a stone's throw away from our place) and shared the food we prepared. What made it a great one is the fact that we were many that day. From my family, there're 5 who attended the noche buena feast: me, my daughter, my husbunny, ate anna and our dog harry. From my aunt's, there're 10 people. And from my uncle's, there're 4 people. And of course, my grandfather was there too. We stuffed ourselves with spaghetti, lumpiang shanghai, fruit salad, fried chicken, pinapaitan and leche flan and drank Coke. Then, the traditional gift-giving followed the feast.
