今年我不用筹备圣诞派对给家公家婆因为姑姑说今年因该轮到她办了。我家姑姑很体贴，也想得周到，所以自己volunteer办今年的圣诞家庭集会。我难得轻松，所以发了whatassp给朋友们看看有没有意思和家人来我家热闹热闹。因为平时都是我们几个女人见面，我都从来没有见过她们的家人，于是想借此机会认识朋友的家人。竟然大家反应热烈，大家都“on”。。就这样whatassp来whatassp去讨论事项，我们二十一人的派对终于在热热闹闹的笑声中完成。大人有大人讲，小孩有小孩玩。度过愉快的一晚。
我告诉朋友们这是我第一次搞这么多人的集会，有点紧张有点不知所措，只要不嫌弃就好。我当晚只是负责甜品和小食（finger food），其他的都是一人准备一些，这样加加起来，就有好多美食享用了。谢谢姐姐和朋友们用心准备佳肴，大家吃得开心，大家从开始就喊“饱”但是还是把食物吃得七七八八。最后才发现我连一片sushi都没有吃到，一只chicken skewer都没有被分到叻。。哈哈。。。
因为家里附近很多邻居都把户外装潢得很精彩得圣诞灯饰和布置，所以饭后我们也来一个mini tour，散散步去感染圣诞气氛。姐姐笑说，这个集会不错，除了有吃喝玩乐外还有附送free mini tour。
谢谢你们来，为我家带来了圣诞温暖的气息。
这是我今年的最后一贴了， 收拾好行李，要到南非去和动物朋友们过圣诞和新年。我们明年再见！
