This year’s Christmas has been very special to me. Sometimes it is hard to get into the spirit of the Holiday, especially if there has been difficult moments during the year. But trying a little harder and pushing oneself to see the beauty of life… Well, life just starts looking a lot better. I know this to be true. We started our Christmas Eve with a little dinner with my family. Then, headed over to Ariel’s family for more dinner and celebration. I even brought a little special gift…
We took the subway to Ariel’s family where we danced the night away… which was exactly what I needed after all the food I ate. Although, I did go back every so often to pick on the left over Pernil seating in the oven. I couldn’t help it! I’m writing it down for 2012 resolution: I must learn how to cook a mean Pernil.
What I will remember the most for this year’s Christmas is all the dancing I did. I love dancing! Have I mention that before? Ariel’s family loves to dance too, mainly his mom who made it very clear to me where Ariel gets all his energy from. That lady can dance! And both Christmas Eve and Christmas day was all dancing and dancing and dancing. I loved it! I don’t have any pictures of the dancing… and well, some things should not be photographed… especially if someone had one too many Malibu with pineapple juice and was shaking it like no one was watching.
Christmas morning we had a lovely brunch in Greenpoint at Lokal. A really cute place I really like. We talked about our future and I’m truly excited and optimistic about this upcoming year. We have received so many blessings as well as some bumps in the roads this year… but we’re going to keep on going with our heads high, enjoying our lives together, continuing building memories, doing what we love.
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas time!
