Christmas Decors for the Best Christmas Ever!

It wasn't too early, and wasn't too late either. Setting up the Christmas tree or creating a Christmas atmosphere here in the Philippines usually comes as early as September and December would be quite late. So last Saturday as my family and I took out the stocked Christmas tree, decors, scissors, the medical grade adhesive and other tools we needed to make it Christmasy at home, we were right on time.

 

Above are some of the Christmas decors we have kept from last year.

 

Setting up Christmas decors was also an opportunity to bond with family - my son helping me out (he enjoys playing with water) and my wife taking photos (all photos are from Jennie's Instagram - follow her @jenaspacio).

 

 

After washing the Christmas tree, we proceeded to set it up in our family room and below is the end result.



 

 

But, a Christmas tree isn't complete without the Christmas lights. It's effect? See below.

 

 

I am looking forward to this year's Christmas as the best ever for our family!

Shopping for Christmas Decors

Today, I went to Divisoria, a local shopping place in Manila where people buy anything at low price. I went there to buy some decors for our Christmas tree which we set up yesterday. It was so bare yesterday, it only had lights on it. But today I bought three sets of decorations and I got a dozen of each Christmas decor for only P900 (a little less than $20). If I went to a regular mall I would have gotten the decorations for about P1,500 (a little more than $30). In addition to the decorations I was able to do some early shopping for my son's Christmas gifts and it cost me just $2 for toys he really likes. I can't wait to bring my wife along next time for her Christmas shopping.
