This year’s special Christmas

Christmas is at the corner. But this year, I am cutting corners in Christmas preparing.

I decided to skip making photo calendars as a tradition which started since 2009 (see Baby calendar). Instead, I made a set of 20 photo cards with pictures of DD and twins.

I decided to give gift cards instead of going through all the hassle of shopping, choosing and packaging different Christmas gifts to different family members.

There is no Christmas tree setting up in the house, no Christmas lights hanging along the roof, or no Christmas decorations putting onto the door.

Chinese children’s song: Jingle Bells

“Jingle Bells” is one of the best-known and commonly sung winter songs in the world. It was written by James Lord Pierpont (1822–1893) and published under the title “One Horse Open Sleigh” in the autumn of 1857. Even though it is commonly thought of as a Christmas song, it was actually written and sung for Thanksgiving.

After the twins were born…

The twins have been with me for more than one month. I named them baby A and baby B. Baby A weighed 6 pounds 3 ounces and was 19 inches long, and baby B weighed 5 pounds 12 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long.

Now both of them eat like hungry birds and grow like weeds.

Asking how I feel?

I WANT TO SLEEP!
