are up since December 15. Good thing I have already prepared for what to put inside as early as November. Thanks to the trip to 168 Mall and the Toy Kingdom sale. As for the major gift from Santa, it would be given on the morning of Christmas Day. Apparently, the husband and I are bound to buy it yet tomorrow. I hope the kids would like Santa’s gift and our gifts as well…

My holiday personality…


Your Holiday Personality is Spiritual


It doesn’t matter if you’re religious or not… the holidays carry deep spiritual meaning for you.You like to take this time to reflect on your life. 

You act deliberately and conscientiously during every day of the year – and even more so during the holidays. 

While you like giving and getting gifts as much as anyone else, you do your best not to overspend or overconsume.

You also take time to connect with the natural world during the holidays- whether that means playing in the snow or planting your Christmas tree.

What’s Your Holiday Personality?

Joint Bridal Shower Invitations

Bridal Invitations

Bridal Invitations

The maid of honor of my friend’s wedding already sent out the joint Bridal Shower Invitations that would happen on January next year. I love the concept of the shower invitations because it doubles as a rehearsal dinner invitations. All entourage are invited to attend, both male and female and it was very nice idea. I’m sure it would be more fun.

The maid of honor, who happens to be the sister of the bride made a good research on where to order the invitations. In fact, I am suprised that even the bridal invitation came from one online supplier only which is http://www.cardsshoppe.com/. In fact, she was able to get a very good deal since she got both cards from them, she was able to get some free invitation cards and even free shipping on some. She definitely recommends CardsShoppe as she said you can practically do whatever you want in the cards selections they have like inserting photos or images, changing colors or fonts and sometimes even the design.

Now, all we can think of is the upcoming bridal shower and of course the wedding since we saw how beautiful the invitations were. It was practically our first impression of the events.
