Christmas celebrations 2009

Over Christmas Eve and Christmas day, we had our annual festive celebration with both sides of our family, with Gayle's family on the eve and Eugin's family on the day itself. Gayle cooked up a storm for Christmas eve dinner and we had a hearty lunch at Eugin's mom's place on Christmas Day. Everyone had their fill of good food, drinks, conversations and present exchanges. We also had a family friend - Chiou Lin join us for the festivities and we must thank her for her Christmas hamper which she specially handpicked the items and packed for us! It's been a wonderful and cozy Christmas. It's hard to believe that Christmas has just come and gone!
