One of the things which I'm sure you may be tired of reading about in this silly little foodie blog (besides us being fabulous and all... tee hee) is how I am a person who loves traditions. It's not like my parents imposed how they wanted to do these things on us but because what we did before as a family imprinted such happy memories on me that I also wanted my children to have the same experiences as well.
For Christmas 2013, amidst the challenges that our country faced and, on a totally trivial level, the warm weather we still have up to now, we celebrated our Lord's birthday ALMOST the same way we did as before.
No hotel getaways away from home....
No revelations that Santa is not real...
and most important of all...
No one was "absent" on this special night.
HOWEVER... We were only human and change IS somehow inevitable. So we just made a few tweaks in how we did our Christmas night.
Do read on! This may well be our Christmas card from ERICJAZ FOODIES to you!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
CHRISTMAS NIGHT!!!
Before, we would usually go to Santuario de San Jose in Greenhills. Now we wanted to go somewhere nearer where there are more available seats for us so we heard mass at Powerplant Mall tent.
Our experience the last time was very solemn and comfortable so my Dad suggested we hear our CHRISTMAS NIGHT mass here again!
I really think there's something about the CHRISTMAS breeze that made hearing mass al fresco more special!
