Christmas 2008

Well.. I was just realizing that I did not post anything yet for Christmas.. what a grinch.. I guess... Since we didn't have a santa in our house anymore... Christmas was very relaxing and we got to sleep in till 8... we usually all wake up by 7 so it was nice to get that extra hour of sleep. It was hard this year for Miguel. His grandmother passed away a year ago on the 24th and that was the day that we had arrived in Mexico City last year and had the funeral on the 25th since they bury their dead a day later. What a crazy Christmas last year! This year.. we lounged around. We both decided that we would not exchange gifts to each other this year, and rather give to others. I loved it.. I am not much of a receiver of gifts.. I love to give them! I think we will continue that from now on... We gave Michael a few little gifts and it was nice. He is learning too, that it doesn't matter what you get.. it's what you give. He is very understanding of this and loved to help us prepare the gifts this year for others. We all had vacations during Christmas and that was nice too! Miguel was off for 10 days (he just returned back to work Monday night) and Michael and I are still on vacation until the 5th of Jan. I love my job! Next year Miguel will have Christmas and New Years off.. so we will probably be going down to Mexico again next year.. hopefully with no sadness like the last Christmas we went. We hope you all have a happy new year and had a great Christmas and Holiday Season!
