christmas decors

SIL had already decided for the color theme of her tree next year: Blue and White. That would be fabulous, don't you think? If we had our own home to decorate It, this is what my home would look like.

- I'd like to have a tall Christmas tree with all the ornaments you can think of, store bought and home made in the living room area with a Christmas skirt and presents all around. :)

- There would be a basket sitting in the living room table filled with Christmas cards that We've received from everyone. Cinnamon sticks wrapped in silver ribbon and balls would fill the air with that Christmassy feel.

- In the fireplace, if there's one - on top would be a Christmas garland, pine cones, white candles, Christmas balls, holly berries, and the monogrammed Christmas stockings.

- We would have a snowman and Santa stuffed toys close to the tree.

- Christmas towels in the kitchen and some red candles with some holly berries in the dining area on a Christmas table runner.
- Some clear Christmas lights outside the porch.

- A christmas wreath with red ribbons and holly berries hanging in front the door.

- If we have a two storey home, I'd like to have some Christmas garland wreath lined up on the stairs with Christmas balls and Red ribbons.

I think that's about it. I don't really like lining up the house with Christmas lights, because I don't want to end up with a huge electric bill, that's for sure.

When we visited my hubby's cousin last week I fell in love with their home because of how it was decorated. Upon our arrival, we noticed some lighted candy canes on the bushes. When we walked up to their front door, there were 3 white candles sitting on sprigs of evergreen were flickering in front of the window. And There were 2 miniature Christmas trees sitting by the door, one on each side, wrapped with clear christmas lights.

Their living room had a huge fresh tree adorned with elegant ornaments. There were monogrammed Christmas stockings in the fireplace, clear Christmas lights were wrapped around the fireplace and A tall clear glass was filled with gold Christmas balls. (sigh) I can't wait to have our own home where I can decorate it the way I want it to be. Now that Christmas is over, It's almost time for the new year!

Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas)

Before Christmas day ends I would like to make a toast to all my dear friends for putting up with me these past years, I am thankful for a lot of things and that Includes meeting new people, bonding more with my family and continuing the Love and friendship that is all around us. I'd like to express my feelings but I'd rather save it for the last post of the year before we enter 2010. We had a great day yesterday, Attended the 7 pm mass and went on our way to the Christmas party. We had loads of fun and went home around 2 am. As sleepy as we all were, we managed to opened all our gifts and took family pictures at the end of the night. It was indeed a great Christmas. I was a bit sad when I was in church, though - I miss my brother Gully so much, if only he were here with us celebrating Christmas... I am thankful we got to spend his first Christmas with us back in 2007. I wanted to break down and cry but instead I prayed very hard because I know wherever he is right now he is a happy contented person. He's the reason why our lives changed and I think he might have talked to God about that. And speaking of lives changing - We visited my mom this morning and we were all happy, but that's another story so let's save it for another day. :) I hope you guys had a great time celebrating Christmas with your families as well.

Merry Christmas and to all a goodnight!

Ruby Tuesday #1

goodness, me... call me crazy but I just had to put up the tree earlier this year. ;) I added more mini stockings, I don't buy those huge stockings coz first of all we don't have our own fireplace to hang it from. =) I usually put up the tree around after thanksgiving but since the lil one bugged me to put it up, ta-da! I haven't displayed the smaller ornaments, I got too tired that night. I couldn't forget one morning when I woke up my son and told him to check out something in the living room he was like "whooooahhh!" and got all giggly asking santa for extra gifts for his wishlist, oh my.... happy ruby Tuesday, everyone!

busy, busy, busy =)

hello there, peeps! how are you all doin'? for us here, it was one heck of a week, enjoyable as I may say. very busy week inspite of Nate not having school because of intersession week. tomorrow I am off and I have lots of things to do on my list. how am I gonna do all these in one day? time management, I guess. you know what I hate about myself? I just hate it when I sit in front of the computer I suddenly go blank and just start blog hopping from one site to another, sometimes I do comment but I just loooove to lurk around, you know and then all of a sudden I just realize I needed to finish a lot of tasks that day I end up not finishing it anyway. poor time management, huh? so tomorrow, I am on it! went to Kmart yesterday and hoooo boy, the store is filled with halloween and christmas decorations! oh goodness, why am I not surprised?? hahaa!

cute singing frogs! would love to have one at home =D



just went clothes shopping for hubby because all their items were on sale. I forgot to buy some battery operated tea light candles for the orange bags that I'm gonna turn into pumpkin lamps in our living room, lil Nate would love that for sure. I even forgot to buy some halloween icing decorations for cookies! hmm... and we went around to look for costumes, still a bit early for costume hunting, we couldn't see a perfect size for Nate since he would love to be Buzz lightyear. although he doesn't know if he wanted to be buzz lightyear, venom or batman... kids hehee.

What's on my to do list:

1. clean bathroom.
2. finish some online stuff.
3. invite Nate's friend for I'll be making halloween cookies.
4. organize our clothes and other storages.
