Make no mistake about it… the happiest of seasons is definitely upon us
Yessiree… even here in our little kingdom where it is officially, um, to be politically correct about it… prohibited “non-existent”, it seems that there really is no stopping this blessed season from entering the homes, hearts, minds and spirit of all those who believe!
And what better way to mark this festive and solemn occasion than by continuing on from our previous years’ family tradition, right?
Presenting… our completed “red and gold” set-up for this year!

Yup, we basically used the same decors as last year’s but with little additions here and there… Can you spot them?
First off, there’s our “chika cuddlies” – kindly “lent” to us from the, ahem, “exclusive Marga collection” – hahaha! Don’t you just feel they’re discussing something when you look at them (or is it just my very vivid imagination?)? Talking about who’s getting what, perhaps?

Was I thrilled to be able to finally find yet another makeshift skirt for our tree!
Next on the list is our “appropriately-attired” adorable boxer (yes, another part of dear divalette’s collection!)…

Finally, here’s Keith’s (and mine too!) current favorite – a red and gold Madonna and Child icon we snagged from our last holiday… just precious!

As a bonus, I’m happy that this also served as our inspiration to get back to the habit of praying the rosary together as a family (pray that we sustain the effort!)
All in all, it was another fun family bonding time for us – yipee!
God has been truly good for no matter where we are, He has always made it possible for us to feel His presence in our lives and to share the joy that comes from this to our children and hopefully, to all those we meet.
Let me be one of the very first to greet you all a meaningful “Maligayang Pasko”! And may the peace and joy of the season be with you always.
