We decided not to put decors for the Halloween. We were not so sure how the houses in our community celebrate Halloween so we opted to just simply let it pass. But on October 31, we found our neighbors' frontyard decorated with witches, giants spiders, cobwebs etc.. Oh! how we suddenly missed our Laguna home. :(
This year is our first Christmas in Dubai. Of course, Christmas is downplayed here, for obvious reason. But you can still find lovely decors in some department stores and hardware (Ace). Last week, we decided on a theme and we put up our Christmas Tree.
I chose Scandinavian inspired Christmas Tree for our first Christmas here. Actually, it's a choice between the mistletoe (the traditional) and the Scandinavian. The tree we bought was as tall as our old Christmas Tree which for many years now have found a new home in my brother's house. Our Laguna house was too small for a huge tree so we gave it away. Do you see the snowman on top? We placed it there because we cannot put the last branch of the tree. We should have bought a shorter one :)
Behind the tree is a poinsettia plant. I don't know where Ace had imported those plants, but poinsettia plants surely made me feel so home.
But before Christmas, it should be my birthday first. So I bought myself my birthday treats. What else will make a housewife happy aside from a shiatsu massage? What else but shopping!
Clothes and make up! Happiness!
Have a blessed week everyone!
