Today was a wonderful day! On Christmas Eve, I went to our major family reunion/party. None of us identify as Christian, but we all celebrate the act of getting together and giving out love to all around us! It was a good day.
Today, we went to another party for Christmas day eating Bun Bo Hue. For all who do not know, Bun Bo is a popular soup in the town of Hue which is where my family emigrated from! :D We eat it at most family gatherings haha!
Here is a picture provided by Google for your viewing pleasure:
It really tastes wonderful. :) This looks exactly like what I had eaten earlier!
The best part of the holidays is being able to reconnect with my family, but that doesn't mean I skimp from presents! ;D I was definitely a procrastinator this year and started shopping on Thursday. LOL!...I also picked up stuff for myself. 8D Retail therapy!
Shirts at Rue 21:
;) I am in love with that store.
While I was at Charlotte Russe I got these for 50% off:
Original price: $12.50!
These furry monstrosities are so much fun! LOL. I can say they are pretty effective too at keeping your legs warm! :) For me though, I think the first parts of my body to feel the cold are my thighs...
Bobbi Brown's Makeup Manual! I got this at Home Goods for $14.99 rather than the full $19.99 price! ;DDD So far, this book has definitely given me tips that I didn't know about before. It's definitely helpful and I adore it!
I got these two presents for Christmas:
My cousins are definitely wonderful. =)
My family has really moved their focus of gift giving away. As we kids get older, they give us less stuff and spend their money on gifts for younger kids because, well, we older kids are legible to get jobs! LOL! It makes me nostalgic for the old days, but I'm really happy when I see my 3 year old cousin get a gift instead of me. It makes more sense. :')
Alas! We have another party to go to tomorrow!
I hope all of you are keeping warm and having a great holiday! The New Year is almost here too...! (Prepared to gain 5 more lbs before the week is over...)
