The holidays are upon us and I couldn’t be any happier because for me, this is absolutely the most wonderful time of the year.
I know we still have the pandemic going on and the numbers are actually surging, but we just have to make the most of the situation.
Listening…
To…Christmas music.
It may be early for some because we haven’t celebrated Thanksgiving, but if you don’t know yet, we start celebrating Christmas in September in the Philippines. And you bet, Christmas carols are being played wherever you go by then. That’s how we all love Christmas.
So although I’m here in the U.S., I can’t help but listen to Christmas music. But I don’t start in September here. I usually start after Halloween. 🙂
Watching…
Dancing with the Stars.
It’s my first time watching this show after the many seasons that they’ve had. I saw clips of the show before, but didn’t really check it out. Then one night, while waiting for the hubs, I was flipping the channels when I came across the show. I enjoyed it and have been hooked ever since. They’re now headed to the finals and I can’t wait to see who will bring home the bacon.
Drinking…
Egg Nog.
I’d heard of egg nog before, but hubby isn’t into it so I didn’t have the urge to give it a try. Then my nephew told me that it tastes like the Philippine dessert, Leche Flan. So I immediately grabbed me a box when I saw it at the supermarket recently. And he was so right. It did taste like Leche Flan. So yeah, it’s like Leche Flan in a liquid form.
Enjoying…
Our merry and bright Christmas decor.
Yep, I already decked the halls over here. I usually do it a week before Thanksgiving since I got here in the U.S. but this year, I decided to make it one more week earlier. We’re actually not done. We’re going to add more this weekend.
Looking Forward To…
Thanksgiving.
I may have decorated for Christmas already, but I’m still looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving, a new holiday to me seeing that it isn’t celebrated in the Philippines. Can’t wait to gobble until I wobble with my favorite people. 🙂

We’re already listening to a lot of Christmas music and gearing up to put the tree up this weekend. I LOVE decorating for the holidays.
We’ll be putting up our tree on Thanksgiving Day. We’re planning a small celebration with immediate family.
Egg Nogg is my favorite holiday drink. Some people love spiced wine or boiled custard, but I HAVE to have the Nogg during the holidays.
I cannot believe its almost December and November is over! I haven’t got into my Christmas spirit yet, but its already every now.
I’m currently fighting the worst allergies so I’m enjoying a LOT of hot tea, rest, and watching way too much TV.
I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving too! I’m also going to buy some egg nog tomorrow. I forget how much I love it.
Nothing like having some festive cheer up – I think a lot of people are doing it earlier this year as well.
We just put up our tree today, will decorate tomorrow. I just bought Almond nog. 🙂
I had no idea that Christmas is celebrated starting in September in the Philippines! I’m heading over to see what that’s all about!
Christmas in Philippines is classic and most of people they are busy for buying gifts to their families and love ones. I can’t wait to buy a gifts to my niece and nephews
I am getting the decorations out next week. I am so ready for Thanksgiving too!
I bet you missed Philippines so much. Yeah I’ve heard Christmas carols are really early there.
Egg Nog sounds delicious. I’ve never actually tried it before but would love too.
Time really is fast, i can even still look back to my January like it happened yesterday. We’re also listening to Christmas music. Getting ready for Christmas and all. I can’t believe 2020 will soon be over.
I’m looking forward to starting to decorate the house for Christmas. We are going to wait til the day after Thanksgiving soon. It’s hard to believe it’s already so close.
We are in the process of changing our living room and dining room. Although the “new living room” is bigger, we don’t know where we will be putting our tree. Some of my kids won’t make it home for the holidays, so I feel a little sad and less motivated to decorate. (But better to be safe this year, so we can be together next year!)
Decorating our house is much more fun…I can handle it on my own.. I can’t wait the Christmas will come and enjoy it…My countdown starts now
We have had our Christmas tree up since the beginning of the month. I love the glow of the lights and would keep it up all year if I could get away with it. Lol
I have not started listening to Christmas music yet. But we did watch The Grinch already.
I think we’ll decorate for Christmas next week. But we began to think about Christmas gifts!
omg, I still can’t believe christmas is coming I can’t wait to decorate our house.
November is my favorite month with Thanksgiving being the crown jewel. Our celebration will be much smaller than usual, but much more meaningful because of who all will be there.
