Mommy Moments - Christmas

It's been a while since I've written a blog post. My apologies to all of you. I've been busy for the past months and I didn't put much time and "energy"on this site as I wish I did. Frankly speaking I've been so sluggish and not inspired! But it feel so good to finally sit down and write again. So I would like to say thanks to Chris for the wonderful MM theme this week.....

 Mommy Moments theme for this week "Christmas"...

Only two weeks till Christmas and I can't wait for it to come. The Christmas decorations around me, the Christmas songs and all the stuff that reminds me it's Christmas; always bring a happy smile on my face. Those are a few of my favorite things about this season....

 Our Christmas tree is up and it looks fabulous to me!

Since the Christmas season is right around the corner, let's talk about "Christmas "

For me the magic of Christmas is the excitement of my children on Christmas Eve, when they see their presents under the Christmas tree and as they open their presents knowing they have got all they have asked for Christmas is absolutely priceless....

These presents are from Santa two years ago....

Christmas is a wonderful time in our house. My eldest daughter is 10 and my youngest is 8 years old but still believes in Santa, even though many of their friends have stopped believing about Santa Claus. I'm not sure for how long they will continue to believe it, but it is absolutely precious to see them get excited about Santa Claus .
This year they asked for an AKB48 stuff for their collection on Christmas. This is a hot ticket item for girls who loves AKB48 girl group and I wasn't having any luck finding it in the stores. My youngest daughter told me that she would ask Santa for it.... Good luck to me and H! Whew :)

My children get gifts from Santa still....

We wrap the presents from Santa each in a different theme for the kids. This year my kids has pink heart gift wrap paper.

May the season brings you new joy and the new year brings you hope, good health and prosperity.... Advance Merry Christmas to all.....!

A Blessed Christmas to all.

May the Lord fulfill you with His promises and bestow on you his Blessings. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Prosperous New Year !

We are Wishing you all the joys of the season.

May the grace of Our Mighty Father be with you all during this eve of Christmas.
Have a blessed Christmas and a happy New Year.

To all my friends and readers. I pray that happiness be at your door and leave the gift of God's peace, love, joy and good health behind. May the good times and treasures of the present become the golden memories of tomorrow. I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year to your Family. Merry Christmas!!

Christmas School Concert

Quick post! We came home from a annual kindergarten school concert. The concert was held in the"bunkahall" or Cultural center hall in Kofu city earlier today.


My daughter's school is holding it's Christmas "ongakukai" or Christmas recital every 2nd week of December. My kid's Christmas concert is one of many school activities that I love, but sad to say today was Rio's last Christmas ongakukai because she'll be graduating in kindergarten three months from now.

I'm so proud of her. Even though she fell on stage while performing, she stood up and continued with her performance. She well deserved the applause from the audience today. bravo! She is adorable kid and there is nothing that fills my heart with more joy than watching her performing on stage with confidence.


That's my weekend highlight story, gosh I'm so tired and my back is aching right now needs to recharge my energy muna lol... Happy weekend!

Our Christmas tree ..

I have and will always LOVE Christmas, it is a special holiday that will always be special to me. One of my favorite things about Christmas is putting up our 170cm Christmas tree and putting the ornaments and tinsel on the tree is such a huge thing for me, its like "wow I can really feel the spirit of Christmas here". Yesterday while looking at these lights and ornaments on our Christmas tree and whenever I heard a Christmas songs, all the childhood Christmas memories just come rushing.. I can tell you that it bring tears in my eyes.

When I was a kid, Christmas was memorable for it meant gifts from ninong and ninangs, new clothes and shoes, caroling , sibang gabi and the delicious food during Christmas. It was fun and precious memories to cherish. Spending Christmas with my whole family is one of the wonderful blessing I had. I wish we can spend Christmas season in the Philippines, but I think that's impossible for now.. hay!!!
