A few more winks and Christmas will soon be here. It will be our first Christmas in our first house together. For sure we will make a cozy home here. I am wishing there will be snow falling on the ground just like the previous years, perhaps it will be more magical. But nonetheless, I am just grateful that Scott and I are healthy, happy, and together. I am thankful everyday that I have him by my side…it makes life worth living and I have someone to annoy for the rest of my life.

Uhm yeah this year it looks like we got more generous when it came to presents…we went overboard just a little bit. Pretty much everything under our tree are gifts for each other {crazy!} I swear most of the gifts I got Scott are pretty useful! I think we worked so hard this year and thought that we deserved it. Next year for sure will have a budget, no overspending! It will be fun to know if we did get some gifts that we want off our wishlist! Gifts doesn’t really matter to us. Christmas is not about gifts. For me, it is a time to be with the ones you love, sharing and spending time with them, giving them all your love, and being grateful for just being alive. Also it’s a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ who died for our sins and saved us. So I am thankful for that act of selfless love. I give thanks everyday for being able to live my life right next to the person I love the most. ♥

The best part of Christmas is being able to celebrate it with the family, in our case Scott + Me :) Just the two of us this year and I am hoping we could get the chance to spend Christmas in the Philippines with my family sometime. We spent it with Scott’s family last year in Vancouver. Christmas is like the biggest celebration of the year in the Philippines and it’s as festive as you can imagine it to be! Anyway, I don’t want to get all homesick now LOL So I wish you guys a happy Christmas and as the year ends may it be filled with so much love and happiness! Chris and Kristena‘s full e-session should be up on Friday so make sure not to miss it. ♥
