Christmas Parties

This is the meme I can think of when December hits the calendar while the food, freebies and raffles are the main highlight for me. Some Christmas party have themes like Harry Potter, Star Wars, Bollywood and etc. And of course, every Christmas party is not complete without the presentations, sing and dance.

Actually, our company just completed it and our theme is Super Heroes. They are generous enough to give everyone, who came, a customized X-mini Kai2. You can view the full specs here. I will give my personal review soon.

It looks like this :) Good looking right? :)



Then, lucky me, I won the raffle. Good night for me haha I got the Fitbit Flex :) and it looks something like the one below but what I got is the green one. I will give my review it too, soon. Ciao!

Gift giving

Christmas is mostly about celebration, reunion, and simbang-gabi. But what makes me excited about it is Gift-giving.

When I was still a kid, I am very excited to receive gifts from my parents, relatives and godparents. But as I grew older, i am much more excited to give gifts than to receive. 

Last two years, my sister and I planned to give a grocery basket to our relatives but that time we both had a job. This year is different, we planned again but this time it will be me, my sister and my brother who's working abroad.



Those little gifts is just our act of gratitude for the things and blessings that we received this year. We may not have a perfect life, but I can say that we are still blessed to have enough of everything - clothes, shelter, food, love and family.

Yuletide Season

Christmas carols, Christmas trees, Ham, and that cold breeze in the air. That's what i think and feel when December is mentioned. Today, is the day, it starts. Yuletide season.

When i was younger, my family and relatives have reunions every Christmas. We celebrate the birth of Christ together. We have mini-games, exchange gifts and other family bonding activities. I really love doing that. 

This year, our family will be bigger as we welcome my new-born child :) I know that this will be the best Yuletide ever! I will pass the "reunion" tradition to my children as family is the greatest thing to have so let's not take it for granted. 

When we were a child, we only think of Christmas as receiving of gifts. We were not that concerned about the other things. But as we grow older, we become aware of things we are not noticing before. We learn to value and appreciate our family. 

So this year, try and appreciate our family. Better, if everyone :) Ciao!
