Believe it or not, I only got ready for Christmas the day before Christmas – that is, I only took the decorations out the day before Christmas (thankfully none of them are dusty that would merit a trip to the steam cleaner). Two reasons: 1) We were so busy and I literally had no maid (I wasnt even able to do the laundry for two weeks – imagine that! And we still had clothes! Hahaha!) and we were out almost everyday and 2) Truthfully, I just wasn’t eager for it when Edil was not home.

On the 23rd, when we got home, Matthew told me, “Mommy paano darating si Santa wala tayong decors?”. It snapped me back to reality – I had to make Christmas happen for my kids. So at 4PM, my house was clean enough for Santa to come (too bad he didn’t leave gifts. I already told Matthew he would go to the houses of victims of Ondoy first . He wanted a guitar and a PSP and Martha wanted a dog!!! Go figure!)

Perhaps if I was just diligent enough, these would have been perfect for our Christmas cards too
