I woke up at very early morning today at about 3 am because of the loud noise coming from our neighbor's wall. The noise was kind of somebody kicking the wall, "thug, thug, thug." It was on and on. So I told myself better get up from the bed and had my cup of coffee instead. This is the earliest breakfast coffee ever! The noise continued still until it stopped at 4 am, finally. I should call 911 because of the commotion? Nah, this is not the first time those strange noises are. Their child has Autism and "her noise" is just part of who she is and I am trying to understand as a good neighbor.
I can have an afternoon nap later.
I was asked if I'm ready with Christmas. OMG! I need lots of money to be ready with Christmas holiday and traditional gatherings and all the festive foods on the table. So, I am not so ready. lol. I don't even know if I have to decorate. I might re-use the old festive decors from last year. Then the Christmas tree? You know how much is the fresh trees from the forest or tree farm? It was $50 (6 ft. Douglas fir) the last time we bought one. With two dogs running around the house, don't really know where to place the tree if ever we bought one.
Know what? I think we'll just resort to having really good delicious foods on the table and have the whole family in a warm cozy atmosphere by the fireplace. Ngek! We don't have a fireplace anymore. Remember we moved out from that home and what we have is the warmth of electric board heater by the wall. LOL. Yup, things had changed dramatically for us. I don't really know who needs the drama because I don't like drama!
Then I tried to think that Christmas is actually the Holy Birth of Baby Jesus it is not your birthday nor it is not my birthday. Darn! You should be at the Church for the Christmas mass. If you have kids, or little ones, you should take them with you to the Church and let them start with religious devotion. For the old people who are not religious you don't have to fake it just be good and be of good service to your family and others who need your help and support. With the children, you can only take them to religious rites at the Church because you are the parents but when they are already adults they have their own rights and freedom to choose religion.
It's only the 25th of November. 25 Days from now and it's Christmas... I know. Some people already have gifts they purchased from last year's Boxing Day as in they are well ahead of the Rat Race.
By the way my sister came home from the one week holiday in Cancun, Mexico. They were not able to see the dolphins as in they booked their stay in a resort one hour away from where the dolphins are and that's another hundred dollars to spend and couple hundreds to frolic with the dolphins. They just stayed at their hotel with swimming pools and the great thing about their holiday is the great abundance of lavish festive foods, buffet style, eat all you can for free! Actually not free. It is just inclusive with the one week stay at the hotel. All the amenities: gym, pool for kids and adults, arcade, entertainment, foods, etc. I didn't ask how much is the total for all the inclusive holiday treat. Actually her 3 daughters gave their parents the holiday treat that's what it is all about. My sister gave us pasalubong (gifts) : Cotton shirts, golf hats, fridge magnets, key ring holder with insignia of Cancun, Mexico.How lucky she is and her husband to have grown up daughters who are all working, with family and able to give their parents special treat every year on a trip to another country. At one time they went for holiday in Dominican Republic, Philippines, and they will go back to Philippines next year. Great!
Me? What about me? Oh I can dream dreams you know... lol
Ciao for now! Hasta la vista, baby!!😇
