One word: Celebration!
After 10 years of spending Christmas in the United States, we are privileged to celebrate the Holiday Season of 2012 in the good 'ole Philippines! My grandparents were really surprised because they finally have someone to spend Christmas & New Years with! And boy, were they excited! Of course, with having both side of families there (Sandoval and Holgado families) this was one heck of a celebration! We also had cousins and relatives there to celebrate the birth of Christ with us! It was a phenomenal and delicious celebration! It was a Christmas filled with laughter, joy and tears!
This is at our dining room in the Philippines. As you can see, the table full of food, fruits and dessert! You can also see the smiles on my grandparents face!

Of course with the nice breeze weather out, we moved the food to the porch and we all got food from there!

Christmas 2012 was filled with laughter, joy and tears! Spending it with grandparents, cousins, and relatives was probably one of the most exciting things ever! I would have to say that it was definitely a highlight of my 2012! I can't wait for Christmas 2013! Who knows? We could be celebrating it again in the Philippines! Only God knows!
Have A Great Day!
