How I Spent My Christmas..

It was a nice and simple Christmas celebration these past couple of days. Being Catholics, it's only natural for my family and I to attend Mass at church for both Christmas Eve and Christmas day.

We arrived one hour before the Mass began on Christmas Eve but the church was already packed. We had to sit outside and it's only by the grace of God that it did not rain. One of the miracles of Christmas.

After the Mass ended, a charity bazaar was held at the nearby parish hall. That's why you see me carrying a few plastic bags in this picture. I bought the blue maxi dress for my engagement day but in the end, decided not to wear it cos the colour wasn't the type of blue that I wanted. Guess it was quite a hurried purchase. So I just wore it that night and paired it with a white short-sleeves cardigan. Not exactly an evening colour but heck, I figured when am I gonna wear it.

So this is what I wore on Christmas day. Although I had the inspirations, deep in my mind I knew it would turn out different than the inspirations. Cos I was aiming for a dress with the right fit first and the cut, second. 

 

After Mass, we headed on to our cousins' places for Christmas open house. 

 My family and I did the gift exchange in the evening after a simple Christmas dinner. It's always fun to see what everybody got.

But of course, we'll never forget the true meaning of Christmas.. :)

Hope you guys had a blessed and wonderful Christmas!
