I’ve always been a Christmas lover kinda girl. No other festivity gets
my blood running with thrill than Christmas Day.
I used to have an entire list of things that I wanted, however not things
that I really needed just for the heck of it which I come to realize this year,
I should be plainly grateful for the things that I already have.
But it isn’t wrong to dream and desire things that we do not have. I
still want my damn Jimmy Choo’s and Chanel bag!
But let’s not lose focus as to why we are celebrating Christmas in the
first place shall we?
Before you go ahead reading this post, watch the video below. It tells you exactly how it and what happened.
Seriously,load it patiently and watch until the end, there's even a message behind it. It's worth the time, while loading the video, why not look at pictures below?
Predicting a rather simple and calm Christmas celebration for myself this year,
I was extremely pumped up when we planned to have an earlier Christmas celebration
between the usual’s.
Joshua, who had it all mapped out at least 2 weeks in advance of the
dinner, deciding on a venue and then making reservation, it wouldn’t have
happened if it wasn’t for him.
To add more fun, I decided to come up with a theme of Red and Green
along with any Christmas-syhead ornament to wear along.
But it isn’t really Christmas without the act of giving, which is why
we decide to play Secret Santa to exchange presents among ourselves.
Clicking my heels behind as I strode across the mall making my
way to the café that we agreed to have dinner in.
I was eager to see some of us again as always, reasons of exceedingly
busy and clashing schedules that we all have in our lives, we were finally able
to catch up again over dinner!
Seeing as it was planned 2 weeks ahead, everyone made the effort to
block of that particular date for this dinner.
I swear, the café could have thrown us out and banned us from ever
coming back there again with the amount of racket we made.
Knowing just how much things we had to share with one another, updating
each other’s lives we needed a quiet place which is why we decided to have our
early Christmas dinner at Desapark City.
Glancing at the entire place, it brought me back to the memories of me
having my pastries in Perth.

I think our food was mostly left cold because most of the time we were
either busy poking fun at each other or posing our youth away in front of the
camera.
While the rest frittered away in conversation, I was busy rounding up
the gifts and sorting them out for the gift exchange happening shortly.
However, not letting me be out of any pictures, I was still grabbed or
rather I grabbed a few people and started clicking around with my camera too.
*~I don't know if I should claim he's a friend~*
*~The two reindeers~*
*~With all the presents~*
*~Nyahaha the working moments gmail in crime~*
Cops would have been called to be upon us, we were a group that laughed
way too loud, knowing no shame with the camera, and doing the silliest things
that most 21 year old above people wouldn’t do.
We were hazardous.

Joshua brought us to the playground where we could swap our gifts but
that agenda was soon forgotten the moment we laid eyes on the toys that was
available at the park.
Ignoring my heels and candy-cane pinafore dress, I ran towards the
swings and other contraptions that they had.
Everyone was screaming in glee, squealing with giggles and calling out
to each other in exhilaration to join one another.
The Christmas spirit certainly came early for us that night.
There were a few children before us but we must have frightened them
away because towards the middle, we were the only people on the playground, mucking
about with everything.
There are several reasons as to why I respect my friends, specially
them.
They let loose and have fun the way we should even when we have the
cheekiness of a 9 year-old trapped in a forced to work 20 over years old body.
Being close to midnight, we started picking our names that I brilliantly
shredded for them to trade gifts with.
Needless to say, everyone was tearing open their gifts in joy to see what
they had.
*~Dillon was my secret santa-Nigel was Jen's-Stanley was Nigel's~*
*~Aaron was David's santa and I was Yatz~*
*~Thomas was Dillon's and Michelle was Pam's~*
Christmas rocked way early for me this year, Amy sends her love and
presents along all the way from UK and wrapping them in aluminum foil for the
group.
That has got to be one of the sweetest thing a friend has done for me.
*~Miniature perfumes for the girl and chocolate for the bois~*
If people asked me how I spent my Christmas Eve of Christmas, I would have
to say despite it being an early Christmas dinner, this was how I spend it and
it was a blast.
