When less is more

The tree is decorated but no gifts under it yet. Our family has decided to have an exchange gift instead of the usual gift giving. Cost-cutting in a very subtle manner ;) This is something I have been advocating for a long time. The family is growing and each of us has some financial challenges coming his way. The more matured ones have resisted for as long as I can remember but perhaps now everybody is ready to spend less and be more creative in gift giving. Besides as they say it's not the price tag but the thought.

Happy Christmas!

My fiancé’s mom already set up the Christmas tree...finally. But how I wish I set up my own Christmas tree, I wish I have more time.

That exchange gift is a nice idea, when I was living with my uncle, I have to buy a gift for all including their friends who spend Christmas with them.

Dec 24 kami naglalagay ng gifts sa Christmas tree kasi may nangungupit ng regalo dito pag masyadong maaga. hahaha!
That´s the perfect solution for a less expensive Christmas celebration.! :)
I agree with your idea :)
Gift giving isn't also my family's tradition...

I wonder...

How can I stop looking up the sky? With it's beauty that never ceases to amaze me.

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin

Light in the sky
