During Christmas time, traffic situations are epic, malls are jam-packed, endless queue in cashier and gift-wrapping sections and the mushrooming of bazaars. With the mentioned events- it's a sign of Christmas is really in the air! We may not experience a white and super cold Christmas, but we always experience a warm Christmas because of the love and affection given by our family, friends and loved ones. I want to share some of the gifts I gave for family members and friends , I'm not really good into buying gifts for others but I only have one requirement-it should be useful and a touch of "fasyon" won't hurt either.

Inside a wrapped rectangular box is a dainty power-shouldered top from MANGO in organic cotton.


A bathroom set in lime green from Debenhams.


A Longchamp Pliage handbag in classic navy.






MANGO tops made from organically-produced materials

Those are some of the gifts I gave this season and what is gift-giving without me receiving any, LOL. I received Sugarhouse's cookies, hand cream, Phillips MP3 player, Canon digital camera and many more! And now that holiday season is over, it's time to save again so we can spend after 12 months. Hahaha! Again, more than anything else, tangible gifts mean a lot but let's not forget that true love and compassion towards each other will always be the best gift we can share.

The Christmas Season will always be the most wonderful time of the year. All smiles on people's faces and it's also the season for gift-giving, endless Christmas parties (I attended five Christmas parties this December.) and get-together with old and present friends. Christmas in the Philippines will always be incomparable and no matter how down the economy is (we hope for better economy this 2012) we always find a reason to celebrate and you can't stop Christmas especially here in our country! Now, I want to share some of my personal pics from the recent holidays, to be honest I am beginning to miss it and I'm looking forward for the Christmas 2012!

Malls are all light up during this festive season.

We were amazed how beautiful the lights in Ayala triangle-it's really Christmas!



I always look forward for Christmas time to come, it gets me excited and giddy for unexplained reasons, there is a different happiness during this time of the year. But then again let's not forget the real reason for the season- it's giving thanks and praises to our Savior Jesus Christ. And it's never too late to greet each and everyone of you a hopeful and blessed Christmas!
