A fellow Thursday 13er, Hootin'Anni, started a Christmas meme and I decided to play along.

7. Is there a new tradition for Christmas since your childhood days?
Yes, to ditch expectations and just let things happen spontaneously.
8. Describe one of your Christmas trips. [whether it's across town or across country]
I've never been out-of-town for Christmas while with my family but I have been away on that day several times because of work. And I can say I've had happier Christmas days than that.
9. Do you have a special Christmas outfit to wear for the day?
Yes, a bright red sequined dress with bright green sleeves and collar. JOKE!!! :o)

Yes, me and my brother when were still kids.
11. What is/or will be on your Christmas tree this year?
Red and gold Christmas ornaments and ribbons that we've had for three Christmases now. I plan to retire them after this and get new ones for next year.
12. Do you/or have you decorated your yard for Christmas?
No, just a "parol" (traditional Filipino star ornament) and a wreath on our door.
