My Christmas Edition

Hi Everyone..Christmas is only 2 days away!!!! My frustrations and excitements escalate as we get closer. I stayed up until about midnight last night frantically wrapping gifts. Boy oh boy, I am not done with Christmas shopping yet so wish me luck! Thanks to Toy R Us, they open 24 hours until Christmas Eve. I still have to get some presents for my little daugther and a handful of people. Where is my Holiday Spirit this year, I am not prepared whatsoever. On Christmas Eve, my husband and I will host a Christmas Eve dinner at our house. It has become a new family tradition to cook and serve hot and spicy Thai food since we will be stuffing ourselves with traditional American food the next day. My in-laws and his sisters enjoyed it in the past years so we will continue this tradition :) My dad was in the States last year to spend time with us and I will miss him greatly not having him here on Christmas. It was his 1st Christmas and he had so much fun opening presents and seeing his first grandchild. However, we will be seeing him in a few months, I am BEYOND excited!! It looks like I will be getting off work half day today. The parking lot is almost empty and not many people are at work today. It is so hard to focus on work with Christmas being just around the corner and so much things to accomplish.

Just a quick post to let you know that I recently did a guest post for one of my sweetest friends AB of "The Owl's Closet" which is now featuring on her blog. If you are interested, please stop by and visit her awesome blog.

The joy of family gatherings, the excitement of Christmas morning, the familiar aroma of homemade food and goodies - what else could be better? Chirstmas is one of the best occasions that remind us how thankful we should be to have such loving family and caring people in our lives. Read more on the Owl's Closet>>>
