This year I did not have 'open house' for friends as my hse is still under minor renovation, but close family members did came to visit me @ my "Little Hse in da Prairie"; however, my children invited all their friends to come over... so glad to see my children are all grown-up and have the spirit of Christmas in them now, esp. my daughter.

Unexpected visitors came on 2nd day of Christmas, after so many years have not seen or heard, my children's first cousin from my ex-spouse came all the way from Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei came with her family. My cousin Tony & family also came that morning.

Christmas is not only celebration for christians; but also time for us to foster the close rapport with close family members, friends and estranged friends/family by visiting one another..we forget about the past, grudges and most of all we are out of curses through the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
