everyone wishes to celebrate christmas with the whole family. since we cant i make it a point that i have the spirit of christmas at our flat by simply putting up my christmas deco.
back then my childhood we the family used to decorate our home.
from recycle ones to handmade. i remembered our first christmas tree it was made of scrap silver tin cans pasted with white cottons. one of a relative put up an old branches of tree then placed a gawgaw combined with soap to look like snow. we had also handmade parols. i also learned how to make its tails. and mostly i will never forget hanging up my christmas sock during christmas eve for santa to filled up with my gifts. until i discovered that it was my mother. but then i still continue yearly hangging up my sock err… not sock anymore instead bayong. we had also children’s christmas party with exhange gifts among with my cousins. then carolling along our neighborhood. noche buena was not so lavish just a simple pansit and arozcaldo with native chicken is enough for the family to savor. hay… life was so pleasant then. i also remembered the simbang gabi and the frangrance of a yummy puto bongbong. on the early christmas morning we visited our elder relatives to greet them and make mano and in return we received money or gifts from them. visiting our ninongs & ninangs were really fun we go home with a fulled tummy. we ended the day by going to mass with the whole family. to thank him and to be with him on his special day because he’s truly the reason of this celebration. krisismas man ang mahalaga kasama natin siya.
o ayan reminishing the past… so lets look back from the golden days. gone are the leaves and so winter na. but before autumn days officially closes and the curtain opens for winter, allow me to present to you the other pics i got last fall.

may xmas tree na siya
pinag-iisipan ko pa rin kung puputulin namin iyong tannenbaum sa garden, ang taas na kc … pero ‘pag naalis iyon kita na kami ng neybor sa kabila, paano na kapag nag-sunbathing ang sirena sa summer???
mukhang malabong magkaroon ng white xmas ngayon, kahit pumunta kami sa ski orte ala pa rig snow

Uso pa rin kaya sa atin yung nagpupunta sa bahay ng mga kamag-anak at nagmamano at pagkatapos ay bibigyan ka ng pera o regalo?

Uy… may Christmas decor na siya. Ako pag-uwi ko ng bahay sa province last saturday, wala pa ‘yung Christmas Tree namin… my goodness… Gusto ko mang ilagay, ‘di ko magawa kasi, balik din agad ako ng city… so ginawa ko… tinawagan ko mama ko…
ME: Ma… bakit walang Christmas Treesa bahay?
MOTHER: ‘Di alam ilagay ng kapatid mo, e busy din ako sa trabaho.
ME: Ma, ilagay n’yo na ‘yun.
MOTHER: Itayo mo kapag umuwi ka ulit.
ME: Ma, sa Dec.23 na ako uuwi.
MOTHER: E, ‘di sa Dec.23 mo itayo, may two days ka pa para sa Pasko (laughing)
ME: Maaaaa…
MOTHER: Okay okay… ikakabit na po.
ME: Golden gusto kong kulay…
MOTHER: Okay.
Sana pag-uwi ko ay puno na ng Christmas decor bahay namin.
