It's already August and the next thing we know it will be a "Ber' season once again. What I mean is September, October, November, and December once again. One time I heard our neighbor playing Christmas carol songs and children are delighted because they thought it's already Christmas. I was amazed to see in their eyes the happiness Christmas could bring them. They were very happy boasting to each other about what gifts they would like to have. What their parents can give them. And in my quiet time, I am also thinking of Christmas. Hopefully this year a good year for all of us. What about you? Are you also excited for Christmas?

Not really excited for Christmas but I have been doing some Christmas shopping here and there. Once September rolls along, expect to hear Christmas carols at malls. Only in the Philippines!

Well it's never too late for that because we still have so much time to save. Right?

There are many things I would like to complete before Christmas -- but you are right, it is just around the corner.

I've always loved the fall/winter because of halloween. Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love giving gifts and making people smile.. but i wish people did the same for me. As i havent had a good christmas in over 5 years, as im the last one my mom, brother and grandmother get anything for. And even then its usually something cheaper than others get cuz they ran out of money getting others their stuff.
