Christmas 2015 was celebrated with the family. On Christmas eve the Baldado clan gathered at uncle Hermi and auntie Mayets house for a party. It has been a tradition to spend the Christmas eve with the whole family in their La Mirada residence. The gracious hosts made the ocassion more festive by decorating their house with Christmas ornaments. Even the front yard, their display of lights was spectacular.
The food was great too. Fusion of pinoy and other cuisine. Dessert table was overwhelming for those with sweet tooth. It was a potluck party so there was enough for everyone. The la habra folks was assigned to bring tempura.
On the 25th, Christmas day, my family attended the mass in the morning. We proceeded to kuya Brians place for lunch. This time it was just us, siblings, nephew and nieces and our parents. We shared the food on the table, there was baked lasagna and baked potato, egg rolls, ham, and a pie.
After lunch we gathered around their Christmas tree for the opening of gifts.. It was a joy seeing the kids with their happy faces opening their presents and being grateful to whoever gave it to them. Christmas indeed is for kids.
