Last year we put up our Christmas tree too close to the 25th. There were so many things going on and before I realized it, it was almost Christmas. This year, I am a little bit ahead. The tree has been up since mid November.

I want to add some more decor to make our house look festive. I have no more ornaments so I have to buy. My lights are missing, ewan sa’n napunta. The one who kept them last year was the one I fired. I hope to find them soon, sayang naman if I have to buy again, LED lights are expensive, P499 up per 100 lights.

I call this Santa clown

I don’t want to spend too much money on decorations. I bought 5 pieces of this little Santa clown P150 each and hung them on these silk flowers I bought from Rustan’s maybe 5 years ago. Really? Yes ganun na sila ka-luma. I wash them with soap and water once a year.
The flowers were expensive kaya ayaw ko silang palitan. Saka na, siguro 3 more years.

I am trying to make a Christmas centerpiece among family photos. I still need glittery balls for the crystal bowl.

I bought this red dove in Rustan’s last Friday afternoon. P300

First gift under the tree, from Oyen, for whom? No label yet.
Ganyan kami, we don’t put labels till a few days before the 24th or sometimes on the 24th na, para surprise.

I bought this cute white owl from Rustan’s last night.

It’s P999.50 less 10% kasi I paid in cash. Wala nga akong cash, I only found P150 in my wallet, hinanap ko pa si Edmund, nangutang ako ng P900. Sayang kasi yung P100 discount. That’s big. Maglakad ka nga hanggang Divisoria wala kang madadampot na isang daan o tumayo ka sa kanto, walang maglilimos sayo ng isang daan. Corny? Hinde, tutoo yan.

Hindi ko nga alam kung saan ko sya ilalagay, palipat-lipat.
Edmund—— “Tart, yang binili mong dove, bakit nag-iisa?”
Omb——— “Ang mahal kasi”.
Edmund—— “ha, he he he”.
Omb——— “Tart, owl yan hindi dove”.
Edmund—— “Owl ba yan? Mukhang dove. Tingnan mo ikaw, kinatatakutan yung owl tapos ikaw dine-decorate mo”.
Omb———- “Ang cute- cute ng owl”.

My brother, Kuya Junior, gave me a yellow owl for Christmas when I was in elementary grade. The feathers were so soft and the eyes moved. Too bad I lost it.
