Good morning/evening/day to you there. It is a new month again. The last month of the year 2019. The last month when we can still do whatever goals we have this year. Happy 1st Advent! It is time for me to really organize what I have to do this Christmas, including buying gifts. I have not decorated my home yet for Christmas but I will do that today. I have to finish my article for the magazine and send it to the publisher and then start a new article for my other writing site. Do you have a special goal for this month besides the Christmas celebration? I have not thought about it yet. Anyway, have a blessed 1st Advent Sunday and a blessed month. Enjoy!

My goal is to be a blessing everywhere I go so people can see God's love. =) My business goal would be the same and to get a few more Christmas sessions this month!

That is a good plan @Shavkat. I have a friend who is living in Imus. They have a house near a cemetery.

@thelme55 I am not sure if my younger sister would buy a house there. She is just working there. We are originated in Baguio City.

Advent is a serious season for me, and I take the waiting to heart. However, this first Sunday was filled with noisy chatter for me, as I was with classmates from High School over lunch. I intend to involve my self with charity work, but these same friends had set another luncheon, in honor of two other classmates coming home from New York and Singapore. It is good to be with classmates.

@thelme55 I do my best to put up with some of my classmates. They are very shallow. But there are achievers, too, three doctors, to begin with, and a crazy rich Asian. Ha ha. All in all, my batchmates are okay. Perhaps I am the odd one out.

This month I don't have any goals. I'll continue working on my book I started last month and hope I can finish it, but I'm not going to push it as I did for the NaNo challenge. I hope you have a wonderful first Sunday of Advent.

Here is a link for you about Advent, Advent calendar, etc for you to know the German Christmas tradition @birjudanak
For the little ones the Christmas season starts on 1st December when they open the first door of their Advent Calendar (advent, from Latin = arrival, coming)....

Happy December! I've been busy decorating the house today and although the weather outside is horrible it's warm and festive inside. The first Sunday of Advent and Christmas will be here in a flash.
