pass the cheer!


it's funny, but i always look forward to Starbucks releasing their red cups for the year. it makes me giddy and excited for the christmas season, just like a little girl. the coffee tastes the same, but there's an additional sprinkle of christmas spirit :) (plus the christmas flavors, of course) and it's finally here yeah!








it makes me think of white christmases and cozy fireplaces and huge stockings and santa and family and relatives and friends. wah, it's been years since i've had a white christmas. gusto ko ulit haha! 


oh! and decorating our house! it has always been fun :D remember, i even took photos of our decorations last year. i wonder what motif would my mom like this year? we've had gold, violet, pink, white/crystal-y, orange and red. hmmm... i think my brother likes blue for this year though. 



oh, and christmas shopping of course. it has been my yearly super-therapy. i love splurging and buying gifts for my family and shopping alone for hours, going through every aisle to find the perfect gift. i remember giving dad funds for his leather carseat covers and car tint (he needs the cash more than clothes or shoes). then i got mom a pair of sophisticated aerosoles (she wears them during meetings haha! and those are the only heeled shoes that she wears.) and a swivel chair for my brother (i stopped giving him drummer stuff. saka nalang when he's interested to be a drummer again). toys/clothes for my nephews and godchildren too :) and yummy-scented lotion for my tita. hmm what would i get them this year? naku! eh it'll be my parents' birthday on december (dad's 50th pa). and my their 25th anniversary on january. woohhhhh! kelangan mag-ipon nang bonggang bongga!

ok... see where my thoughts are going? and just because of one red cup of toffee nut latte :) 

tis the season to be jolly! merry berry christmas everyone! pass the cheer!
