Best Christmas Ever

Goodbye, Christmas Day. I waited one whole year for you and I am glad you did not disappoint me. This year was a pretty quiet but nice Christmas. Well, not quiet-quiet since we went to two Christmas parties. But not your usual party-at-Boiler kind of parties.

Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year because it reminds me that it is nearly year end, I get to attend many parties and not to mention the pressies I receive and it is when I know the new year (definitely a better year) is going to arrive soon. Heeeee......

This Christmas was near perfect. For the past few years, I always had to attend Christmas parties alone even though I was attached. I always had to decide if it's the family or the boyfriend I want to accompany. Needless to say, the family wins year after year after year. LOL. (however, it's a pain having to decide year after year after year) This Christmas, I no longer have to make such decisions because I have met someone who have the same beliefs as me - we like family gatherings like these (hah!). So instead of deciding who to accompany this year, Ray came with me to Grandma's. Fine, I had it easy with Ray but that's because he loves me enough to come know my family better ok?  *smug look*

This year, we did the gifts exchange before Christmas Day. I decided to give Ray his gift a couple of days earlier cos I know he will want to jailbreak his iPhone (yes, that's his Christmas pressie) so by the time it's all done up, it would have been Christmas Day. And I got my pressie on Christmas Eve. I strongly believe I got my gift earlier by a day because Ray knows I have been snooping around, trying to look for my gift. Oh, did I mention he stupidly said there was a Christmas gift for me a few days before Christmas? I initially thought the pink iPhone cover was the gift but then he said there was something else. And so I snooped. Hah!

But, the gift aside, the best Christmas gift this year were the promises Ray wrote in the card. Yah lah, I know words are cheap but to know that someone can feel so strongly for me at that point of time makes me go gaga. No, I am not showing the contents in the card. Well, maybe one day when I win some awards like XX, then I might write my own love story and show everyone the contents.......but wait long long hor............

Knowing that he is willing to be with me no matter how tough it is now and is willing to climb every steep uphill climb with me is the best gift for me. Knowing that he will fight for us and our future is the best assurance I can ever asked for. In short, just by being here with me is already the best gift he could have given to me.

Ray said the other day : "The new year is approaching. It's going to be a new year, a new start for us".

We do not know what will happen in the future. 2010 is going to be busy, busy, busy for sure as I continue the second leg of my career advancements while Ray embarks on a whole new career. But I know we are going to leave behind all the bad memories (silly prank emails and arguments, or rather that one argument) and move ahead together, as a couple, as a team for a better year. And maybe, if all goes well, I will be blogging about our Christmas next year!

Enough of words, enjoy the pictures as promised.

Christmas pressies! Can guess who got what for who now?

One is mine lah. Not a Christmas pressie though. Bleah.

But the one on the right is someone's Christmas pressie. Lucky DoRAYmon.

Obvious enough which belongs to who? Oh actually, I sometimes think that Ray kinda like Hello Kitty but is too shy to admit it.

Ta-dah.....My Christmas pressie!

Think they are just photos? Each of them represent something - the first day we went official at Genting, the first time we went on a holiday to Vietnam and my birthday which we first celebrated together.

Effort max to dig them out, have them printed and fitted into frames. Many had thought it was me who did this but no......not me. It was my DoRAYmon.  *grinz*

Our first Christmas dinner at Grandma's.

Well, DoRAYmon, welcome to the family.  ^_^

Over at Erin's, we decided we need to have a shot with the Christmas tree to commemorate our first Christmas together. Hah!

Happy holidays, all! Catch up in 2010 again.

Happy New Year and all the best to all you lovely readers out there!
