yep, it's still bah-humbug!

Christmas has come and gone without me feeling the Christmas spirit… I don’t mean to be blasphemous or anything… sure I know that Christmas is all about the birth of Christ… God became human on this day… but I just don’t feel happy.. or giddy… even after wrapping up the gifts (this used to a fool-proof way to jump-start my Christmas mood) oh wait, I was happy for a few hours, when my little girl played the perfect little angel during misa de gallo. We were all very excited, as expected… then came the yummy noche Buena… then the next day, during Christmas day… it was back to the usual grind. The fact that we didn’t have the usual Christmas day reunion didn’t help either. It was so quiet in our household… we quiet aside from the laughter and shrieks of the little one… hmmm…maybe I’m just not used to the fact that other family members have got other things going on in their lives and have become too busy to attend a reunion. Well at least we’re still intact… and hopefully we’ve let our little girl feel the warmth and importance of family during these times...
