Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I know this is late, but I do hope everyone had a very Merry and blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year!  Mine was truly happy and blessed! 

On Christmas Eve, my family and I went to a friend's Christmas Eve party.  It was nice to see many friends there.  Afterward, we stayed up until it was time to go to Midnight Mass.  (Yes, this year we went to Midnight Mass.  I consider it my first time going because it is the only time I remember going.  The past one or two times I have gone, I was a tot and fell asleep. lol).  After Mass, we fell asleep right away.  On Christmas, we open gifts (my Aunt, who lives out-of-state, watched us open our gifts from her and we watched her open her gifts from us, over Skype!),  played the wii games we got lol, and prepared for dinner.  That evening, my Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, and three Grandparents all came for dinner, dessert, and games.

On New Year's Eve, my family did the usual.  We played games, listened to music (Herman's Hermits lol) watched tv, and ate snacks until Midnight.  My Grandma stopped by for a little bit that evening.  On New Year's Day we all just relaxed, went to Mass (because it was also the Feast of the Solemnity of Mary, a Holy Day of Obligation) and had a nice dinner.

I'm very thankful for the good time I had during this holy season!

Feel free to share what you did this Christmas and New Year's! 

God bless!
