Getting ready for X'mas

We had promised to ourselves that our Christmas tree will be back in its normal place before December, we thought we really did a good job by finishing it right on time. Everyone deserved a good pat on the shoulder for doing a good job. Well done to Dorothy and David!! With the help of those little hands, it didn’t take us long to make it look like a Christmas tree. They did an enormous job and were so happy and excited doing it in no time than expected. It was only the Christmas lights that required my help and I thought I did a good job on it as well. But while doing it so, I eventually discovered that some of the lights were not functioning anymore when I turned it on. I think I have to get a new lights for next Christmas season and have to throw the old one away.

Our Christmas tree is the first Christmas tree we have since we got married, merely simple and an old one, nearly 10 yrs old about the same age as Dorothy. I remember I bought it few days right after Dorothy was born. I never give a thought of buying a new one for it is still in good condition and looking good over the past Christmas seasons. Most of the decorations too were bought the same time as the Christmas tree. We never get bored of its appearance every Christmas time. I have already bought Dorothy and David’s Christmas presents last October and just kept it out from their sight for the time being that we didn't have the Christmas tree yet. Now that we have the Christmas tree, I grabbed a chance to wrap it so I can display it together with the Christmas tree. The kids were so surprised to see it with speculations and implored what are the presents about. With seemingly endless questions that I couldn't evade, yet all I can say to them is just wait and see on Christmas. That eventually settled down further interrogations from them.

I still have shopping to do for Christmas presents for the kids in both hubby and my side as well as for our Noche Buena. I am planning to do it sometime this week and to be done with it before Christmas. Our family Christmas party for this year will be held in one of hubby’s children. That is something that we are looking forward to as almost everyone in the family will be there. A good chance to see and catching each other once again on time of the holiday season.

WE WISH ALL OF YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR..
