Getting ready for the Holidays

I didn’t notice it’s already September if I am not counting the days for Eman’s next doctor’s visit, laboratory and diagnostic tests and so on. I always look forward for this month when I was still a kid because it means December is near. I just love December because it’s my birth month and because I grew up celebrating Noche Buena, decorating our little house with Christmas decors and going around the neighborhood with my childhood friends to sing Christmas carols for a coin or two from the homeowners who are either happy or annoyed that we are there again. Anyway, since we will be moving back here in Davao…I think I can put a little tree for the kids. We don’t observe Christmas but I wanted to let them feel what I have felt when I was little everytime I hear carols and see lights on the trees and lanterns. We didn’t put one last year since we live in the parsonage. I also would love to put some gifts underneath the tree and play Christmas songs. I hope nobody from the church except my family can read this. Anway, I should be looking for a nice gift for Mama Ingrid. Her birthday will be next month and I am thinking about sending her save the date postcards that has the kids photos along with some native keyrings and hoping the budget will allow me to get her a nice native handbag.
