On Christmas Carols

Noelle’s rendition of the classic JINGLE BELLS.
Noelle: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all way….
ON THE FARM IS TO RIDE……

Last night, kids started Christmas caroling in our house. (That’s what they do here in our country, without invitation, to ask for money.) I told Danae to say “Patawad” (sorry) since I wasn’t prepared to give what we usually give — candy.

Danae: Patawad po. (kids still kept singing)
Noelle: Louder, Ate. They didn’t hear.
Danae: Patawad. (runs to the living room because they still didn’t stop)
Noelle: PATAWAD PO. (silence) I DID IT.

Hahaha, she was so cute. More kids came that night, and without my prompting, the girls said the same thing — “Patawad po!” Haha.

This morning…..
Danae: (in the living room) Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way…..
King: (comes out of our room) PATAWAD PO!

Haha. We all had a good laugh. 🙂
