Just started putting up my Christmas tree - still a work in progress - actually three weeks delayed. In the past, I usually trim the tree right after All Saint's Day. There must be something about the Christmas spirit.
I was thinking of not doing the decorating and gifting thing this year -- I'd rather rest and chill and dodge the Christmas crowds and traffic. But here I am picking up Christmas gifts here and there, and just last night, dusted off my old tree from hibernation and started dolling it up ... Guess I'm going with the Christmas fun and frenzy this year, after all ...

Well, the mall beat me to it with its 'Hello Kitty Christmas' theme this year and I must admit it got through my planned jaded veneer with regards to the stress of holiday festivities and just keep to the essence and reason of the season, the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Well, if Christmas holiday glitters and partying is one way of celebrating and expressing the joy and happiness of the remembrance of that holy birth, I'll jump right in again, though not as early as I did in Christmases past.... quite late actually, since Christmas in the Philippines starts in September and ends first week of January.
