it's almost October and i can feel the spirit of Xmas. it was my kids who already wanted to have the decorations on, so i decided to decorate during the first week of September. i am glad i did it because it makes me feel so "chrismassy". i'm already starting to buy stuffs for gifts whenever i can and if i have extra money for it. i guess it's still the traditional way of looking over for Christmas. how about you, can you now feel the spirit of Christmas?

Not yet. I cannot feel it here in our place it is maybe because of crisis that is going on right now in Philippines. Maybe it is too early to celebrate or feel the Christmas.

i am also from the Philippines. i guess its just a matter of how you view Christmas. but for me, it's not about expenses. its about celebrating something that was once a traditon we enjoyed and will remain a tradition from generation to generation.

Wau! It was so fast you start to prepare for the great event. I haven't prepare anything yet. But i think i should start planning what to get for my family. I hope I can get something they really will be happy for this year.

why not ask them? that way you won't be having a hard time thinking what they really want. besides, you don't have to surprise them anymore.what matters is they will like what you gave them.

We usually put up our decorations after Halloween. Last Christmas, I insisted that our Christmas tree be put up coz it was my baby's first Christmas. She was just 20 days on Christmas day last year. This year, she'll be a 1-year old celebrating her 2nd Christmas. I know that by this time she'll be able to appreciate all the decors we will put up. She might probably clap at the first sight of a Christmas tree. Last year, she was always sleeping during the Christmas season. This is probably the first Christmas that we'll actually enjoy with her. I also plan to do my Christmas shopping early. Before the Christmas celebration, we will be celebrating my baby's first birthday, so I'll be busy with that as well. That is why I need to finish Christmas shopping before November. I love the Christmas season! Everybody seems happy and families really get together to enjoy. Advance Merry Christmas to you!
