Joy Salera Blog: Bloggin Christmas

Another Year with so much JOY! After the hurricane sandy, I thought I will not host my very

first Christmas with my husband & family. But I never lose hope. I told my husband the second

day after the hurricane.. " I will invite my family to have Christmas eve in our flat."

My husband started browsing on craigslist. And it didn't take very long. We found a good place! God

knew how much I wanted it. So here's our new home. It's really small but I'm very contented. We're

on the second floor and our neighbors are great. So this morning, when I woke up.. I had a cup of tea

and of course I've been editing images for this blog.

Here's my very first Bamboo! I fell in love with it! It's so much easier than a regular mouse! My friend

Mars Sayo recommended me to get this one but it took years and when my husband surprised me...

YES i screamed deep inside because when I opened my gifts, I've been very sick and lost my voice and

up until now, it's almost 1 week already and I still can't get my voice back and I've been coughing a

lot. I'm a little scared but I'm trying not to think about negative thoughts. My faith is different than

others and I will not lose hope. Today, when my husband got home from work, he prayed for me.

What a relief...

I've been having a cup of tea with honey and Chamomile is my favorite. They smell so good and taste
so good! This thrifty bee is my favorite honey.

My dad started the Christmas eve with a beautiful prayer. He prayed for our meal.

Abigail my husbands sister and Laurelee, (his mum) made us these awesome sweets!

Angelo, my sister's boyfriend baked and this awesome Red Snapper fish! The flavor and the taste is so
DELICIOUS! We told him he should be a chef but he said he rather work with blood. He's a dialysis.
MAN HE SERVES FOOD LIKE A REAL CHEF!

How can I NOT adore these three important people in my life! My sister, my mum & my nephew.

MEN AT WORK!

My mum... What can I say. She's really the most sweet person I know!

Angelo, my sister and their son Lhevronn!
