Santa has come

Christmas has officially started in our house. Santa came in his sleigh bringing a medium-sized fake Christmas tree for us to decorate. And why not? We're ready for it!

Look who's excited to open the box? Must have a picture too whilst opening :)

It's EJ's first time decorating a tree. Will he remember this?

Up close. It's mostly red for now but we're going to buy more decor tonight.

Tada! Presenting our half-complete Tree. We need to buy lights too to make it alive.

This is my fifth consecutive Christmas away from Philippines. Four Christmases were celebrated in the Maldives. And never with a tree. So you can see that we're very excited with this one. It's our first tree as a family too!

What about you? Are you geared up for Christmas yet?

wow... good for you... i haven't put up anything for Christmas yet... maybe after Samantha's bday.. will do that. Can't wait to decorate our tree again. It's memorable for me and schenker last year when we did up our tree. i think it will be more memorable now as samantha will join in the fun. :)

Ikea Malaysia brought in real trees last year. And the prices were not bad. I wonder if they'll do it again this year...

Where did you buy the medium-sized tree? Wala kaming nahanap na maliit na tree last weekend. Puro malalaki ang available. Hahay! We ended up buying a hanging bell of some sort.

Kayni - well, i'm sure it's the real tree :)

Mimi - really?! too bad..i should have checked first.

Kaye - we bought it at cold storage. have you tried it there?
