Christmas Day and I said I will.......

A couple of years before my divorce, I started spending Christmas Eve at Clarky's home with my Precious little pumpkin. We always headed home a couple hours before midnight so we could give Santa a chance to deliver his gift to my Precious. This year, since my Mama could not climb up the stairs I thought it would be best for us to stay home. No Noche Buena was prepared because I was so used to going to Clarky's family to celebrate Christmas Eve. Instead, Reezen TOT and I simply spend our eve watching Ghost Hunter marathon which we both have been addicted too.

I woke up early on Christmas Day not to my liking. My alarm buzz at 6:30 in the morning like I am headed to work. It did not bother me at all since there were a few things I needed to do before we headed to NY. Since Cyclops and I have been together, our holidays was usually spent with his family. Which worked out just fine, since my family are still residing overseas other than my adoptive family, Clarky. I got up and headed to the shower then went to Dunkin Donuts and bought our breakfast. Buying breakfast would save us so much time rather than me preparing it.

When I got back from the store, I was really glad to see that my Precious was still sound asleep. I sneaked in his room and whispered to him Merry Christms and said. "You have been a wonderful son, nephew, grandson and friend this year. Santa came and left you your Christmas present." He opened his eyes and said, "Merry Christmas Mom!" He got up ran down the steps. By this time, everyone was up. My Precious knew the drill he needed to wait before he starts opening his presents. Reezen TOT opened hers first. It did hurt me a bit when I read her blog but it was my fault not making it more exciting for her. Ah! She will get over it once I give her her New Years present. At least, she got a few of what she picked for herself. One thing I am aware of is how much she love the present her nephew got her.

Then it was my turn to be surprise. The first gift I opened was from my sister, Reezen TOT. She gave me her Pink Guess pocketbook that I adored so dearly. Thank you my dearest sister. Then, Precious came over and gave me his gift. A gift he picked on his own from his own allowance. There was a card that came with it. The bracelet he got me is so beautiful. As I read the card, I realized that I started crying. It said, "To my pretty mom, We love you so much and have a Merry Christmas. Love Precious," I did stop and proceeded to the rest of my gifts. Precious and Cyclops went to the mall the day before and they got me a bag and a pajama set. Just everything I needed.

Prior to me, Cyclops opened his present. It was not a lot bunch but things we know he would want. Last year, we decided no more presents for each other on Christmas day. Instead we got presents for both of us. In 2007, we went to Vermont for our Christmas present and a new car which we call our MOB mobile. After I opened all my gifts he did remind me of another present he has for me that he sent to his parents house. I brushed it off my head to stop myself obsessing to know what it was. Honestly, the surprise was killing me.

We could not wait for Mother to come down stairs because Precious was getting impatient in opening his present. So we had him open them without Mother Biik. As always, watching him open all the present we got him send a warm feeling to my heart. He's always thankful and grateful to anything you surprise him with. He really is an amazing child. His expression are always priceless but the fainting when he open the present is remarkable. He loved the Star Wars book Mother Hen got him, so as the Star Wars Lego he received from Santa and Cyclops & me.

Mother Biik opened her presents last. This was prior to us leaving. It did took her along time to get ready and climb down the steps. It was really a work out for me. Hopefully by the time she recover I would have lost a pound or two .... ( ha ha ha ha ha). Precious got her a jewelry box, Reezen Tot got her a sweater and Cyclops & I got her a wallet with a few $$$ in it. Unlike other people I have known and met, Cyclops never hesitate or complains when I get or give my family a few things here and there. As a matter of fact, I am the one who held back at times. But he always remind me that every little thing he owns is mine as well. How could I not love this man who had shown my son and my family all goodness and ask nothing in return. What else could I ask for this year? Actually, I do wanted Father Biik and Brother biik & his family here spending the holidays with us. Other than that my Christmas so far is perfect.

Then off we went to NY. I drove to get my head over the anticipation of what the surprise present would be. I have a couple of theories but I kept brushing it off. He wanted me to be surprise and I did not want to ruin anything for him. Nor do I want to feel disappointed. So again, I did tried my best to put it behind my head. My hunger over power that thought which was excellent. I was so focused on getting to his parents home so I could much on something before I pass out. We were the first who arrived. Then his Aunt and Uncle. A few minutes past his sister and her family arrived. It's always a wonderful time seeing everyone. After exchanging gifts, Cyclops Dad or Mr. Cyclops gathered everyone around and would liked to say a few things. After which this is what happened.
