It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

October 30, 2009

My first Christmas here in Australia was pretty much uneventful. It was memorable because it was the first Christmas Ned and I had together and as a married couple, but that’s it. We don’t have close family and friends here and we seriously, Christmas here is really boring. None of the “fiesta-like” celebration in the Philippines where it starts as early as September and ends in January.

But 2 weeks ago, the shopping centres here near our apartment has started decorating and selling Christmas decors. was actaully surprised to see the big Christmas tree near the mall. Maybe it’s just a marketing strategy to encourage people to spend earlier. Nevertheless, I liked it! I miss the Christmas spirit we Filipinos has gotten used to in the Philippines.

This year, our Christmas will be a quiet one at home, savoring the last one we’re going to be spending it all by ourselves, because next year hopefully we can spend it in the Philippines with our little Gab. It will be a quiet Chrismas for us but a more expensive one because we’re thinking of already buying baby things for the little one. We’re starting to focus on our child, not anymore on ourselves. Because really that’s what Christmas is all about - giving.

On a slightly diffrent note, I saw this from my friend Pat’s blog:

 

I like! I hope everyone can feel and be like one (a hero) especially now that Christmas is coming.
