I"ve celebrated Christmas many times, but this is the first time with family and relatives. My cousins
from my mum"s side invited us for Christmas celebration at their house this year. I don"t see them often,
as generally we"re not that close to them.
A bit history of them here. They were the children of my second uncle. He had two wives. The
cousins I met there were from both. Four daughters and a son from the first, and two sons from the
second. The rest were not around. The house we went to is in Tropicana, which was extremely large.
I enjoyed the celebration we had yesterday. It"s the usual stuff I"ve seen on TV, and heard from
friends who celebrate them. Caroling (圣颂歌), having dinner, social talks, introduction of who is
whose children etc., and not to miss, the food, delicious. I like the turkey sandwich.
As usual, I looked and walked around after dinner, and to my surprise, two of my nephews, aged
22 and 25, look really beautiful, just like movie stars. The nieces were not bad at all. Some are very
pretty, and the rest are all above average.
We left about 11:30 pm. I sure hope to meet them again in the near future. Hopeful]y when rny
cousin that I meet quite regularly, had her open house, also in Tropicana. |
