I had very SUTEKI NA Christmas. Actually it was my first real Christmas.

We left home on Sunday 24. The drive was so-so and we got to Toronto at 6 o'clock. We had great Greek dinner at the restaurant which is in Greek Street. The Greek Salad was specially well done.
After we've been full, we headed for ice skaiting which was same place as the last time. But we found huge mistake right away. There were only one skait for each kids, so we've been there only for 10 minutes. But we didn't forget to take the pictures. At least we've been there, hahaha.
Same night we got to Sue's sister's, Deby's house. The house was really sweet with the Christmas decorations! It was more beautiful than Halimar's, by the way. We were playing the domino until feeling sleep.

In the morning of Christmas Day, we had 'meat' breakfast with pajamas. Sue says that this is the tradition. After the breakfast, we started to open the presents. It was very exciting! I wasn't thinking I can get the presents but I got some presents!!! Oh my goodness, I was really happy and happy. I think I love Christmas, hahaha (^u^*)/"
Jan got the basketball from Alejandro and we played basketball at outside right away. We played 21 and Alejandro beat Jan and me always.
After we had enough sweet time, we went Sue's parents' house to see them and to have BIG dinner. There were a lot of Sue's relations in the house. Sue introduced Alejandro and me to everyone and they all were very good people. The dinner was really really wonderful and big! Turkey, beef, chicken, salmon, rice, pasta, noodle, and a lot of dessert, everything was there! We ate and drank a lots, talked so much, sang very much, and danced a great much!
Alejandro missed his family so much. I'm so sure I will miss my family on 31's night and the new year's day.

The next day,it means Boxing Day, We got up late, like 10 o'clock and had breakfast. After packking everything to go back to Halimar, Jan, Jacob, Alejandro, and I went to the school which is 8 minutes away from the house to play basketball again. But there were many puddles and we gave up to play basketball and started to play "hopping on one foot". That was so funny because the game was really for children. However we enjoyed it like children, hahaha.
When we got home, there were many people who are Deby's husband, Lob's relations. But I didn't spent so much time with them because I went shopping twice with Jan and Alejandro.
First one was for killing the time. I bought the cloths at ROOTS for my sisters and brother. (Arejandro got the cute cap and Jan didn't buy anithing.)
Second one was for shopping foods to make dinner for the Halimar guests. We bought bunch of foods at COSCO like crazy, haha. But I like shopping in COSCO. It was really fun for me. On the way home, we were listening the radio in the car and we heard the OLD NAVY's commercial. The radio said they were holding crazy (20~75% off) sale. So we headed to OLD NAVY soon,haha. There is a looong line in the store. During Jan was on the line,Alejandro and I was shopping. I got some cloths with good deal. After I switch with Jan,they (Jan and Alejandro) were looking pants and shirts together. You know, they are really huge people. It's hard to find the cloths which fit them perfectly.
We had great dinner before the second shopping, by the way. The dinner was as great as the last night.But there were not enough chairs, so I ate my dinner at the downstairs with some people. I didn't talk a lot with the people. That was not good. I had to talk to them from me because they didn't know who I am and how good (or how bad?) my English is. Well,,,sigh.
We left Deby's house at 8 o'clock amd got Halimar at 10. It wasn't bad it was? On the way to Halimar, there was little space for Alejandro and me in the car. Because there were many many presents we got, a lot of foods, and some bags. So I was using his shoulder to sleep. Actually I didn't know using his shoulder until he woke me up.
SORRY!Alejandro!!

Well,,,it was nice and sweet and hot Christmas!
