Merry Christmas!

December 24, 2019

While waiting for the 12 oclock!

The gifts are ready…

Actually, it is my tradition ever since I got work to prepare gifts for the whole family. I still remember those times that I have only minimum wage, I shop in Greenhills or in any tyange. I never knew Taytay tyange that time yet. Every midnight my family got their gifts. I make sure to prepare something for them. I always put “from Santa” because that was my mother used to put when we were young.

Though we were not rich, my mother make sure that every Christmas we have some gifts and she let us believe about Santa.

When I started earning, I make sure to prepare something for them, I just wished that my father is still alive today, maybe I got him a new car with a driver as a Christmas gift.

The kids were excited…

Before we opened the gifts, Xavier keeps on checking the gifts and he was so happy that Santa sent him more gifts this year!

We had our videoke while waiting for the midnight..

I also bought these cat costumes for holiday. They don’t know what to do when we let them wear it. They can’t move. hahaha

Food

I believe that Christmas is a season of giving and I am happy that despite everything that happened to us this year, I got more blessings to be thankful for.

Xavier’s School Activity

Every year, Xavier has this benefit show in his school.

This was his outfit.

He likes to perform this time and I am so proud of him.

The first time he tried this when he was still in nursery, he was crying the whole time. 

I am so proud of him. 🙂

Attended a Wedding

December is a busiest month for me. I had invitations but I declined to some of it, if my schedule don’t permits me.

Here is one of the event I attended.

A wedding of my previous employee.

The venue is just near to my place.

It’s always nice to attend a wedding, it is much more lighter.

I also like to see people around me inlove.

This somehow reminds of my own wedding way back 2003.

Office Christmas Party

Finally the list was complete and we were ready to party!

The giveaways… Spaghetti set with company t-shirts. I asked my team to write their 5 wishes and I grant 1 wish. So I need to complete at least 50 wishes and that made me so busy. It was hard at first but it was fun. Hubby made sure to organize and create a system that we followed to make everything easier.

When they received their gifts, they looked so happy and it made so happy as well.

We had a simple celebration this time and I like this better.

Shopping for Gifts

We were rushing to finish our Christmas list.

The list was long…

Of course, I need to eat first before shopping. 

We had dinner at UPTown Mall in BGC and I like to have it outside. It was a little cold that day so staying outdoor was a good idea.
