This Holidays has been sooo crazy and I haven't been posting so much but the kids are like crazy! And even to write this post I have been almost all day, lol... Writing a bit each second they let me upload the pics, etc... Well, but let's go to Christmas in my family!
This is how my Mom's house looks like every Christmas Eve! Always the same linens, the same china, everything... lol... So classic!
Yes, it's true! We took pics of Santa while putting all the gifts in our tree! Henry was soooo excited when he saw the pics on Christmas morning. Even he saw him on the Eve, he couldn't believe Santa was at home and he didn't hear him!!!!!
Corners of my Christmas home
(I know it's late but they're still here soooo, lol...)
My Mom calls this "cupboard" The Royal Crown Derby (kidding...) The Royal Crown Jewel! lol... I just got in love with it when I first saw it and I'm still deeply in love! And that's why I choose it to put the advent calendar I made last year. This year it was filled of chocolate coins that every day the kids opened and eat them... That's why the envelopes are open; Henry was so confused sometimes with the day he was in that decided that the first one he found closed belong to the day he was in, lol...
And this is the little part in the "phone table" lol... Santa and a nativity! lol... God, isn't Christmas time just crazy? Oh, and at the back you can see one of the treasures I found this year; an advent book; you can read one little tiny story each day and complete the story of Christmas!
Here's how the entrance of my house looks like. WIth the Belén with 2 Jesus. I just have 2 and Henry couldn't choose between only one so, we have 2. lol... It was a gift my Mom gave to us the first Christmas we had as a married couple. I adore it! And Henrito does love it too. He was so excited when we put it all together with the "snow", etc... and then he filled the "pesebre" with everything he liked from the Christams decorations; some made by him and some Christmas cards too.

The table is lovely - so beautiful. The picture of santa putting out gifts - so wonderful for your children. And all the festivities look so great.
Me again. Happy almost 2009! I was wondering, do you fix a dinner for New Years good luck?
Hope this makes sense. XO

Hi Carol,
Oh, please, please, leave an email or your blog, I have been wanting to contact you since you first came here!!! lol...
Well, we make a New Year's dinner at my parents house but really not so special. But we have some "lucky" things. Maybe that's what you meant, lol...
We drink a glass of champagne with a ring in it, we ate the 12 grapes one for each month of the year, we have dinner with a dollar down the plate (my brother even has his dollar in his tuxedo's pocket and uses always the same one, lol...)
and more things I can't remember right now, lol...
Celia, my email is brock@purdue.edu. Thanks for the grapes - and I might buy a pomagranate too. I think I am making a black eyed pea salad with a lot of peppers in it and some pork roast. And something sweet.
