Christmas is here again!

Yipee! My favourite time of the year is here again! It's the season for indulgent gorging and excessive spending. Just perfect for someone who suddenly finds herself swarmed with so much work! Way too much! AND yes, I'm talking about MYSELF.

So amidst this dampener, I yearn for that joy that Christmas brings... and on Jill's non-stop insistence that the X'mas tree must be put up NOW because the shopping centres and her school have put up the X'mas deco, it went up last weekend. This is alot earlier than we usually put it up. For DW, 1st week of Dec is just nice. But just to avoid further nagging from his precious princess, he decided to give in and he got himself a little lady elf as an assistant this year. NOT ME.

Her theme: she wants streamers in red & gold, little X'mas balls in red, gold & ?? blue ?? They don't go, but what the heck, as long as she's happy.. This is the kind of innocence that make little children the envy of adults.

And there was also this little boy who had a field time trying to rip the little deco hanging on the trees and trying to eat them. This boy gets his hands on anything & everything. And eats anything & everything he gets his hands on. So if you do notice, my tree is a little bare this year because he wrecked a good number of deco. BUT totally NOT blaming him! It's a perfect excuse to restock on new items. Just gotta find the time to do so..

(pardon the bad photos It's tough trying to take photo of a toddler who just cannot stop moving!)

Now you see it in his hands... (notice the lost puppy look he's giving me, the "I'm so not planning to do anything evil" look)

Now you see it in his mouth...
