I am full
Ive been wanting to sit down and post an entry on Noche Buena and Christmas since yesterday morning. Something spectacular, something heartwarming, something to let everyone know ust what a beautiful couple of days they were for me and my family.
But I think that sometimes, when we have had a few splendid days as the past few have been for me, we need to keep those memories with us for a little while. Let them sink in, savor them, let the memories live in you for a spell. I want to keep this Noche Buena and Christmas all to myself for a little bit. A purely selfish move, I know, but I just want to hold this Noche Buena close to the heart for a few days.
Despite all the hard work and preparations, despite my old man's accident and my uncle's stroke, and despite another tremendous bit of bad news about my Godfather who was supposed to fly down for Christmas from up North, God granted me and my family a couple of days of beauty. A couple of days together. A couple of days where we are all bound by love of family and close friends.
I truly hope you all experienced something similar this Christmas. Something you can try to put into words and nothing but smiles come out. I hope you all lived another one of life's little gems.
I did, and I can still feel it sparkle.

This is great and says a lot about what Christmas should be all about. May God bring the gift of health to all your loved ones soon - and pray we all have a better-than-2005 2006.

Val,
It already sounds like a most beautiful family occasion, in spite of all the attending negatives you faced.
Just post a few more pictures from the day, and let them speak for you!
Great smile on Don Jesus --even on his missus' face, too-- as he "races" the grandson around the ManCamp grounds!
Healh and happiness to you all in the New Year!
