And the countdown for Christmas begins! Finally the "ber" months is here. Here in the Philippines, Christmas preparations begins as early as September. December just seems to be a lot nearer on this time of the year. Divisoria, our famous flea market, is already preparing for the bulk of christmas shoppers. And when I say bulk it means several roads closed due to traffic of people walking around the area that it become unpassable to vehicles. Christmas carols are even started to be played on the radio. Yes, I know, even with Holloween closer than Christmas. Maybe because we all so look forward to christmas and enjoy the celebrations so much that even the simplest ones felt grand. The happiness and bond it brings on every family is invaluable. So start making your christmas list and prepare to dust off your decors. And don't forget my name on your gift list. Cheers!

Yes... children are the most excited waiting for the Christmas season. They are the ones who get to have more cash and gifts that's why they love Christmas... LoL.. My mom is excited, too! She started to play her favorite Christmas songs yesterday. I can't explain the happiness that the Christmas songs bring in the air. Have yourself a very Merry Christmas!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! I love the Christmas season because of all the good joy and cheer it brings. I think people should start to think of Christmas more as a time for family and less as a time for presents, but other then that it's great. I can't complain though as I love getting presents!

Ber months are indeed a look-forward-to season. So from now on I'll start behaving well so that my name will be included in Santa Claus' list. The Santa Computer Mice will once again be displayed in the office and ... well, everyone here has said his piece so all I can say is... Merry Christmas Everyone. Felices Pascua!
