Christmas in General

I generally find Christmas stressful cause I usually don't have the money and slightly boring as I get made to go and visit relatives that I really don't care for (that sounds bad but you know what I mean). However this year is different it's my little girls first Christmas and all of a sudden I have reverted to being a child again, I get butterfly every time I think about it and I'm practically counting down the days already! Its been decided this year were going to be organised and buy our presents starting October and spread them out so we wont feel to much like were spending out with budget.

Christmas in General I know a few of you are going to say and thinking, oh my gosh the mad woman is talking about Christmas all ready. But in reality Christmas isn't that far away at all... about 4 months to go and we're nearly in September!!!! Christmas in my world isn't as perfect as I would like it. I have 3 brothers and a sister and I never see them at Christmas never mind any other time in the year so why should Christmas be any different?

I spend Christmas day with my family it is the only day of the year ...  Read the complete review

This time last year (lunchtime Christmas Eve) I was wearing a t-shirt and drinking cappuccino and eating Maltese pasties with my husband at a pavement cafe in the baroque splendor of Valletta, the capital of Malta. The long main street was beautifully festooned with Christmas lights which formed a glittering avenue when lit up in the evening. People of all races meandered around the shops and museums and horse-drawn carriages carried people around on a tour of the city. In the evening, we dressed up and went for a five-course gala dinner in our hotel in Sliema. Sliema is a busy little tourist town, that does Christmas seriously. The streets ...  Read the complete review

As soon as "BER" month comes, here in the Philippines everyone is already thinking about Christmas. That's why we are in the Guinness as a country who celebrate Christmas in a long period of time. That's how special this celebration for us, its part of our culture that family, friends and relatives get together and give gift for each other. Its a common thing, just like in any other country, but there are more things that we do to celebrate Christmas. Before Christmas When halloween ends we start to decorate our house with different Christmas decorations. Like we put Christmas lights outside the house, Christmas tree is already standing ...  Read the complete review
