It’s Christmas Time!

December 24, 2009 by Emily Leave a Comment

Merry Christmas everyone, it’s Christmas Eve day I hope you are all ready and don’t do too much traveling and enjoy your day/evening at home. I know there are a lot of last-minute Christmas shoppers, gosh I know I have been there many times. It can be really hectic, and crazy. I remember my father getting all frustrated, and angry at times. That was not a very good experience, I use to dread when that time came because the spirit of Christmas sometimes was ruined with anger and frustration, which leads to yelling or whatever.

Anyway, let’s focus on good things ok? So people have different traditions for Christmas, let me tell you mine as a child. Typically for us, it would be Christmas dinner on Christmas eve, then we would watch Christmas shows on TV to entertain the children (my brothers and sister). We as the children always tried staying awake until midnight because in our tradition at midnight we would open our gifts, rather than in the morning. I guess you can say after midnight it is Christmas day! We’ve had that tradition for as long as I could remember, even into adulthood. After my mother passed away *RIP Mom* things changed, as they do for many people. So the tradition changed a bit, everyone goes their own ways as they grow up in life, and adapt to new and different traditions. I guess I am greedy by saying I liked opening them up at midnight and playing with my toys. This Christmas will be different, we won’t open them at midnight and I’m okay with that. Well, maybe one or two hehe, and then anything else Christmas morning. Okay enough of walking down memory lane. I hope you all have a lovely Christmas, get all you ever wanted, and are as happy as can be this holiday.

Now all I have left to do is finish off a few wrappings that I didn’t do yesterday. William will be home after 1 pm or so, he has half a day at work. I’m not sure if his holiday will run through Tuesday as some other people have told me, we will see. As for dinner, I believe it will be a lovely ham, yum now that sounds delicious. During my tradition growing up, we always had tamales, they were good, and well since I grew up eating them, of course, I loved them. It would be cool to find some, it’s not often I have them. Last year I had the small Mexican tamales, they were yummy as well. I remember helping make them, wow it’s a lot of work, but in the end, oh so delicious. I’ll share a picture of a traditional Guatemalan tamale. It may not look like much to you, but it means everything to me.

Gosh, I don’t even know how to make them lol. I would love to try to make them, it doesn’t have to be any special time of the year, but just to make them. I have to search through my things, I think my mother wrote a recipe for them, so wish me luck on finding it. I want to quickly send out a special Happy Christmas to Steve. He is going to be working tonight at a children’s center, it’s his job. He won’t be at home with his family this Christmas eve, so if I can I’ll spend some time chatting, so he is not alone. Thank you, Steve, for all the wonderful chats we have had. One day hun we will have to have that coffee we often talk about, bless you for being my friend. I guess I should close here now. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and as usual, I will leave you with a lovely video.

This reminds me of my mom, and brings tears to my eyes. OH how I miss you mom. RIP, I’ll see you again one day.
