Christmas with(out) you

Two nights ago, we had our Christmas party. I thought I would see you there. I waited; but it seems that it wasn't yet time. We had so much fun dancing and all. And guess what they made me do---they made me sing! In my heart I was singing for you and not for the crowd. I sang it like you were there watching me. I will sing it again once you find me.

It's just a few days before Christmas and I will be home with my family. Oh you should meet them. My dad will be 55 day after tomorrow. I know he will be thrilled to meet you. It's his dream to walk me down the aisle. He loves music and he sings pretty well. You should see him play the guitar. When I was a kid and even till now, he would sing me a lullaby. During Christmas season, you'd see him with his guitar singing songs to us kids and my mom. He likes to sing "I Love You Because" to my mom especially when he has done something which annoys her. Mom is one person you can count on. She doesn't really judge people, that's why she has a lot of friends. She's the all-around mom--taking care of her practice, business and us kids. I wonder how she does it.

I have a sister and two brothers. My sister is all prim and proper and the most intelligent among us four. She'd speak her mind when she wants to and is a good judge of character. You need not fear her. Don't make her sing, though, you'll be sorry. :) My eldest brother is street-smart and good-looking. And just like dad, he plays the guitar like a pro. He has a good voice but only sings when he's a bit tipsy. :) My youngest brother is an angel. He's the usual youngest child who wants to have things his way. He's very fond of animals and would shelter all the strays he can get his hands on.

We're a funny bunch, and when us kids are home for Christmas, we'd all sleep on the floor at the sala. Last Christmas I was awakened with this slight noise. I saw my mom and dad just watching us sleep. I mean, it was kinda sweet. We're all adults now but I think they still see us as children.

I can't wait for that first Christmas you will have with us.

I hope you will have a happy and blessed Christmas with your family and friends.
