Nocho Bunea (Christmas Eve)

You wake up in the morning feeling there are so many things to do today. It is Christmas Eve and so many things to do.

You came across going to the grocery store for last minute things to buy and come out with a line so long.

You come back home and need to pick some food up for the celebration. Come home tired and no appetite to eat. 

You decide cooking for the upcoming evening.

You cook some chicken macaroni salad, spaghetti and feeling so drained out.

You only have a short time to rest and end up working it off making some garden salad for the menu for tonight.

By the time you eat at the dinner table you feel so sleepy and can’t seem to wake up being so tired.

It is not even mid-night yet when you start exchanging Christmas gifts with your in-law.

You still have three hours to kill and try to figure out how you can stay awake.

You turn on your internet on your phone all the beeping comes to your phone so many friends have started greeting you a Merry Christmas. You turn and reply all to them greeting them a Merry Christmas.
