I have a confession to make. I am relieved the holidays are over--mainly Christmas and New Year's Eve. To me, there seems to be too much pressure surrounding the holidays. No one wants to be the one who gets crappy presents or be the jerk who gives no presents (or maybe people do want to be that person?). Also, no one wants to be the loser who stays home alone on New Year's Eve and falls asleep early but maybe sometimes we do and that's okay. We just don't want to have to tell people that's what we did on NYE because you get the aww-how-sad-you-have-no-friends-and-you're-single face. Anyway, I enjoyed Christmas (I received great presents and I gave presents), NYE (I didn't spend it home alone) and time off work but I am glad things are going back to my normal routine. (<--- That statement just made it official. I am old, maybe older than I should be).
Here are some snapshots from my holidays.
Lawn chairs in my living room. Classy Christmas in my household.

Do I blend in with the teens? NYE Fireworks with my nieces.
I hope you enjoyed your holidays even if you did get crappy gifts and spent NYE alone. More power to you. *raises fist and nods head once* (<-- LOL)

It looks like you had a good time. One question. Are shoes discouraged at your house? Or is that a Filipino thing?
ReplyDeleteI don't care if people wear shoes at my house. I never wear shoes when I am at home, but that's because I don't like to. I don't like wearing shoes when I'm at your house either. It's an Asian thing though, they just took off their shoes without me even asking.
ReplyDeleteso if you ever get invited to dinner at an Asian person's house, make sure you wear nice socks just in case.
