We're keeping up with our family tradition! :)My journal entry last year:

1 Day After Thanksgiving...
30 Days till Christmas...
One thing that we're definitely thankful for this year: Having a place of our own! We know, we know... it's not our own house yet, but it's great to see everyone and everything having a space of his/her/its own: the kids have their own room, WE have our own room, even Edison's dj equipment has its own room!
Another great thing: Edison and I finally felt that we can start our own family traditions. Last night after coming home from Thanksgiving dinner at Tito Ding and Tita Leng's home in Brentwood, we decided that we are going to "deck our halls" on the Friday after Thanksgiving... every year! I woke up this morning as a child would wake up on Christmas morning. I was so excited to get to Target and buy that white Christmas tree that we've been eyeing on since the day it came out...
As Edison put the hooks on each individually hand-picked ornament... Edward and Alison cheerfully handed them to me... I carefully placed them on the tree... childhood memories of decorating our house in the Philippines came rushing back to me; it put a smile on my face...

I like Edward and Alison's picture. Parang pinaguusapan nila kung tama ba ung pagkakalagay ni Mommy sa Christmas balls, hehehe :) I seldom see white Christmas tree but this one looks really nice! :)
