Created for this month's journlaing challenge. Thank you for looking. The journaling reads:
We celebrated Christmas three times that year, and this was our first round - with my mom. We hadn't really been planning to, but seeing she'd brought Christmas gifts from the rest of my family, we thought it would be nice to open them while she was still here. And so a quick Christmas party was planned for Sunday, December 17th, right after the Saturday celebration of her birthday (which was, ironically, on Monday, Dec 18th, but she's always been adamant that her birthday comes before Christmas). This was also her first Christmas in the tropics and with us in years, and she was very excited to browse the shops and participated actively in decorating the house. We spent days looking for the right tree topper. Only to buy the wrong one and end up having to continue searching.
My mom was super entertained by the fact that we cant' use real candles - it gets too hot and then the aircon blows them out. Ha ha...
This was also Winnie's first Chrismtas with us and she LOVED the tree with the lights and baubles and the gifts. "NO!" must have been the most frequently used word that month.
