Christmas Day & Christmas Gifts

I would always open up my presents on Christmas Eve, because I just can’t wait till Christmas Day.

I made sure that I’ve wrapped up every single present, take a photo of the Christmas tree before I allow Bob and Tara to open theirs.

Tara received 3 gifts from me, and 1 from Bob. Bob got 2 gifts from me and I got 1 from him. A week before, I walked out of the study room and realized there’s an extra present under the tree and saw my name on it. Happy and excited, I knelt in front of the tree to examine the haphazardly wrapped up gift (well, guys). I remembered I told Bob I wanted to get a blue tooth. The small box kind of convinced me that it might be a blue tooth. Although I’m already rejoicing in my heart, I told myself not to hold my hopes too high, because knowing Bob, he’s just one guy whose mind I can’t read and who can’t read mine either.

Bob taught Tara how to tear up the wrappings and cute little Tara was enjoying so much. Every piece of paper she tore, she would pass to Bob. I think she enjoyed tearing up the wrapping rather than getting the gift because even though she can clearly see the toy underneath, she didn’t get excited and was adamant that the present be stripped totally. Very cute.

Tara received a sort-of doggie piano, a toy mobile phone and a set of Mother goose VCD and books from me and a Leapfrog LeapPad from Bob. I’ve always wanted to get the LeapPad for Tara so when I saw the gift, I whooped with joy! Mummy was more excited than the kid!

Bob got a set of Topman boxers and a Polo Ralph polo tee shirt from me whereas I received a box of SKII mask from him. Yup, it’s not the Bluetooth that I thought, but nevertheless, I was thrilled to get the mask too. Bob knew that I was running out of the masks and decided to get it for me. I just hope that he won’t be getting this for me on every single occasion.

This Christmas was the happiest one I had. I love all the gifts I received this year! Cheryl got me 2 books; Life Swap by Jane Green (my wish list!) and Chicken Soup for Every Mom’s Soul. Angela bought me a book by Jamie Oliver (another wish list)! Cindy got me a necklace which I was eyeing for weeks, Sis gave me a set of mask from Forever Living, which I told her I wanted to buy but couldn’t bear to as it’s not that cheap. My Sales Director bought me a cute cushion from Zed & Zee but I can’t seem to find it after the party. I also received a cute key chain from Jaime.

I’m looking forward to next year’s Christmas already!
