Christmas gifts

December 30, 2011

What did you get for Christmas?  You’re probably comparing notes with your family members and friends after Christmas day.  I received useful stuff, so I am very pleased with this year’s bounties! 

How about you?  Did you get your dream mobile phone? or notebook?  Or did you just receive yoga socks?  Hehehe Whatever it is we receive, let’s be thankful to the giver/s.  It’s not easy to come up with gift ideas for people sometimes especially those you don’t know that much, or those that have everything or can afford anything they want. Sigh.   The latter is the hardest to choose for.  I’m talking from experience! So just think that it’s the thought that counts and the effort in buying the gift that matters.  If you don’t find the stuff you got useful, simply keep it for someone else. ;)

It’s not all about the gifts

December 20, 2011

Few days to go before Christmas and we still haven’t bought anything for the in-laws and I’ve got nothing for hubby too.  I’m trying my luck in finding the best cigar deals just in case we couldn’t come up with something interesting for Dad to buy.  

As for me, well hubby has been asking me what’s my wish.  It seems I couldn’t even figure out what I want for myself.  I think I have everything I need and with the recent tragedies happening around me,  I feel like money should be spent on something more worthwhile and not just on anything, just because its Christmas and I am supposed to open gifts on that day.  

I am grateful enough for the good health and safety of everyone in our family.  I just wish everyone else will have a meaningful Christmas inspite of the trials they’re facing, especially the loss of loved ones.
