Spending Holidays as Couple
For newly wed couples I discover that it would be very hard to decide where to go on special occasions during Christmas and New Year.
Our family normally attends Christmas Eve’s mass together and on New Year, an automatic reunion with close relatives and some of them spend the New Year’s Eve with us.
I know I cant be with them with one of these occasions because we have to divide our time, me and my husband as to where to spend these holidays.
We have decided to be with my husband’s family on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. It was well spent holidays, a close bonding with immediate families.
Christmas Eve we attended the Catholic Mass at San Roque Parish in Pateros where we were we also watched Christmas presentation of the church members before the mass at 10pm followed by dinner and simple gift giving at home will all the family members. My husband was so excited to buy gifts for his mother and brother because it will be his first time to give gifs to them on Christmas. He chose the gift for his brother and I chose the gift for his mother- simple items that we think they could use.
Just the same on New Year’s Eve we had dinner with my family after welcoming the 12 midnight. We also throw coins to children on the street and portions inside the house. We had to throw it outside because we don’t have children at home to catch. Well, we had more fun
Next year we it would be different we will be spending the Christmas Eve with my family and the New Year’s Eve with my husband’s family.
We look forward to spending again the holidays with our beloved family.
