The tree is up!

At first, I don’t want to put our tree this year because we are just renting in a small place and we don’t have enough space for it.

But we make a way because Christmas is not complete without a Christmas Tree.

We started shopping too, but I always end up eating first before going shopping.

My new book..

The spaghetti set for the whole team.

Our Christmas eve food

We had dinner also at Coffee Bean in SLEX when we went to Cavite to pick up some tshirt stocks. Ayan kain ng kain..

the traffic is really frustrating! 

We had our dinner first… and it took us so long to take this picture!

Hubby needs to position the camera and do the timer…  mahirap gawin kasi si Gareth ayaw humarap, gutom na sya tapos si Xavier ang kulit kulit, gusto ng wacky pose.

 

We had chicken macaroni salad, fruit salad, ham and roasted chicken.

Xavier keeps on asking me when to open the gifts and he waited for the 12 midnight and shouted “let’s open the gifts!”

I also got my gifts from hubby! Thanks hubby for thinking of me!

Most of the time, I don’t receive gifts from my family on Christmas and I was okay with it. Sanay kasi sila na makatanggap ng gifts galing sa akin. Nahihirapan din silang bigyan ako ng gifts. Hindi daw nila alam kung magustuhan ko ba daw. Sabi ko naman kahit ano pwede. Nasa akin na daw lahat kaya hindi nila alam kung ano ang ibibigay sa akin. ahhahaha they are just funny!

Around 2am we’ve done opening our gifts and the kids were so happy for what they’ve got. They can’t stop playing.

Most of them liked what they received and I am so thankful that they liked it. I’ve been thinking so hard on what to give and it’s nice that they like it.

So…  that was it.

Holiday is almost over… but here I am trying to take things slow, just taking my time to rest because I’m still have flu and I hope I’ll be better soon.

Gifts are ready..

We are just waiting for 12 midnight so we can open our gifts.

So while waiting, we had our picture taking.

My siblings also play card games.

then I was feeling under the weather, I just watched them played.

I was hoping to receive more gifts!

Hello my dear Readers!

Merry Christmas everyone!

I don’t know some of you my dear readers and I’m glad that you keep on visiting my blog. Thank you so much!

I wish that all of you have a Merry Christmas!

I wish you peace, joy and hope!

Xavier been bugging me if I already sent his letter to Santa because there were no gifts under the tree. He’s been waiting for it.

So…  after our company party, I just take a rest for a day then locked myself inside the room.

I need to finish wrapping…

I started around 3pm and finished around 8pm.

I wrapped more than 20 gifts… I got so tired.

Then we let the kids stay in the kitchen for a while then bring the gifts down and arranged it under the tree!

When he came back from the kitchen, he shouted and went to the room!

“Mommy, did you see the presents? It’s under the tree! Finally Santa came and delivered the gifts!”

ahhahaah I don’t know what to say!

I got so hungry and this puto bumbong saves my day!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Our theme is Great Gatsby

Here are our looks:

Hubby’s look 🙂 I just love it.

We also awarded our great employees 🙂

We have our contest for Mr. and Ms. East Joint Marketing Solutions

I just love it that the team exert effort to look polish that night. I love how they become resourceful to come up of a great costume.

I will be posting more pictures when I got the pictures from our official photographer.

It was a great night and this made me so busy these past few days. I need to prepare the Christmas giveaways, bonus, raffles and of course to prepare the party itself. I need to make sure that everything is perfect for my team.

At least the office party is done, I can now concentrate for my household. This season is indeed the busiest time of the year.

I am so thankful for this year and I know that without God’s guidance these whole things are not possible.

To God be the Glory!

Merry Christmas everyone!

 

It’s our first Christmas in our new office so I wanted to make it special.

Our office is quite bigger than our previous one, so a big Christmas tree is perfect.

I wanted a white tree with a gold and rose gold ornaments.

This is me while shopping, medyo pagod na.

While waiting for the tree.. ang tagal, hinanap pa yata nila ang stocks.

hubby patiently taking pictures of me hahaha

Then we finally setup the tree

The final look..

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

The tree should be up before the birthday of Gareth.

We decided to have the same motif every year, just my white christmas tree and red accents.

 

The kids like it so much and it feels like Christmas already.

I still to add more details and I will post update when I am done.

After Baclaran we decided to go to Okada Hotel to watch the Dancing Fountain.

But to our surprise it was so traffic, it took us at least 2 hours before we went inside the Hotel.

It was overcrowded as well. Some restaurants and shops were closed.

Long lines everywhere and it took us another 2 hours to eat. The restaurants were not prepared for the guests and some don’t have any supplies anymore.

 

I was starving and I wanted to go home already. We went to Pepper Lunch and it took them 1 hour to serve our food. Oh my! I will never again go out on Christmas day.

After having dinner we went ahead and explore the place.

 

Then we watched the dancing fountain. It was so amazing…  🙂

I will definitely come back but not on holidays.

We decided to visit Baclaran Church for the first time. It is our tradition to visit a church every Christmas Day and since I’ve never been to Baclaran Church then I think it is really worth a visit.

There was less traffic that day and it was good day. It was not raining and so perfect to go out with the kids.

 

 

 

 

 

The Church is huge inside 🙂

We lighted a candle and praying for good health and safety for the whole family and for everyone around us.
