My Cherub's Den

…to be jolly! No truer words could be spoken to tell the story of my life at this moment. Finally, after many months of worrying and waiting, a dream has come true: my son and I are in America with my fiancé! And on our second day here we began celebration of the holiday season experiencing our very first Thanksgiving with our new family and friends.

Though we have so many things to take care of getting organized in our new surroundings, legal and otherwise as well as planning our wedding, it’s time to start thinking about our first Christmas in a new land. And the first thing on my Christmas list of to-dos is to find the most perfect of Christmas Cards to send to all the wonderful people who have went out of their way, going above and beyond, to welcome us in such a loving way.

Christmas is a blessed time, and I truly have been blessed. So let the celebration begin. And besides, nothing could make me any more jollier than having an excuse to go shopping, my one greatest weakness that my fiancé has yet to truly experience. (“,)

A few more days to go and it’s already September. The first “ber” month is finally here and whenever September starts, it seems like time flies by so fast and before we know it, it’s already December and we are ready to celebrate the holiday season.

The holidays are definitely my favorite time of the year. The spirit they brings simply gives me a feeling of joy, happiness and peace. What I also love about it is the gift-giving, which everyone loves. Buying holiday cards and gifts and wrapping them are things that I really enjoy doing.

The little one is actually already telling me this early what gift he wants for Christmas. I just let him talk since I have this feeling that he will change his mind before the holidays. Knowing him, I bet he will. And besides, mommy knows best, as well as knowing what her budget can afford. Still, I know he will certainly be pleased with all the goodies he gets.
