There are lots of things going on right now.  After a historical win by Barack Obama, things are just bustling all over.  People from other countries are also excited about this change and I heard that Manny Pacquiao is actually inspired by Obama. He wants to win his next fight with boxing champ Oscar de la Hoya.

Other notes include our concern for Peejay who is about to go for an operation tomorrow – (our prayers are with you PeeJay).    We are very sure that you will be under the hand of God while going through the operation.  Well wishes from everyone.

Our Christmas in New York has also been confirmed.  Anyone who can make it to the Uy’s residence for Christmas is more than welcome.  People – - start logging into  Elfster so we know what gift you prefer. We are thinking of lowering the minimum amount to $20.00 because of the current economic situation. Please do so as soon as possible.

Thanks – - – and yes, we’re back!!!

Alright folks.  We have finally decided a venue where we will spend Christmas this year.  It will be celebrated at the lovely home of Kuya Omeng and Ate Josie Uy!  We are putting the final touches on the plans and we will be publishing it here as well as sending it via email using our Yahoo Groups distribution list.

If you haven’t done so already, we would like you to check your schedules.  December 24th falls on a Wednesday this year.  You may want to tak the 24th, 25th and 26th off so we could all spend a weekend together.  Imagine a stroll on 5th Avenue in New York during Christmas…

Gift giving will be decided upon in the next few days.  Initial thoughts were – anyone under 11 years of age gets a present from the adults.  Anyone 12 years and older gets to be part of the Monito-Monita.

Give us some ideas!!!  We’re ready to rock and roll!

I know we all have a standing invitation to spend Christmas at Neil Alcala’s home for Christmas.  It is a nice way to spend Christmas together in one place but I was thinking, maybe those who want to spend the day in Manhattan can spend the night at the Alcala’s home in Port Jeff, NY I believe?  Then on Christmas Day, we will do what we did several years back… go around Manhattan, go skating at Rockefeller Center and then have hot chocolate and croissants somewhere around the area as well?   What do you guys think?

We did that one Christmas and I think everyone had a blast.  I would like to take the younger kids to the Radio City Music Hall event as well.   Votes anyone?

Christmas in New York.  There’s nothing like it.  I remember a year when the whole family watched the Christmas Special at Radio City Music Hall.  That was an experience for all of us including all the children at that time.  That was over fifteen years ago.  I know that kids today would be blessed to see the same show.

News was that the vacation house at the Hamptons of the Komosinski’s (Cecille and James) will be used  to host the Christmas reunion.  That would be well and good and hope that all can make it.  However, it will be far from Manhattan and I am not sure how it would be to celebrate Christmas without the hot pretzel from the street vendor or Ice Skating at Rockefeller Center.  Oh yeah, we did that during one of those years as well.

Should we place a poll here so everyone can vote?  What do you think?
