Few Days to Christmas Day

Christmas is few days away. I decorated my small space in preparation for the joyful occasion. Just simple decors I could get my hands on. I do not want to spend anymore for Christmas decors.

This is my living room. My two seater couch are now stuffed with Christmas throw pillow.  I found some old Christmas cards I was supposed to mail to friends but they changed addresses. I got them stuck on the door and cut out stars out of metallic paper.

My little Christmas tree occupies a corner on top of my shoe drawer The two teddy bears are my favorite stuffed toys. They are gifts from youngest bro from his trip to Ireland and Oregon U.S. years back. Partly hidden beside my old television are some Christmas presents I started wrapping for my family members.

I am not saying do not spend for decors. Go ahead if you have budget.  I am simply sharing how to enjoy the Holiday Season. That is without giving away your precious earnings if budget is tight. 

Some of My Treasures

Sorting out some papers may sounds easy yet a little tedious to do. As I do not want to simply crumple them and throw straight to the waste basket. I had to do the sorting out. Believe me I am not even half way done. Why did I have to do these? When my mother was hospitalized and we finally brought her to her resting place. I had rearranged some important documents. I had to put them back in place. While sorting out my personal files I was tempted to sort out more.

I found out some are old letters, Christmas and birthday cards from friends. Some are from my family members. I had to discard some.  To loosen my cabinet for space I would need for the most important documents. You could probably guess all those items I had left behind. Some photo negatives took me a while to sort out. I need to peek at them one by one. I am planning to bring those photo negatives to a photo shop. They may have a way of putting them in a CD or DVD. In this way they would be easier to keep.

Here is one old photo taken inside a shopping mall that caught my attention. At our background is a fountain. This was taken years back with my nephew and two nieces. The small cute girl is the sister of the boy. They are children of my older brother. The bigger girl is daughter of my sister. I smiled at the thought of this photo. They are no longer kids as you see in here. My nephew and the bigger niece are now young professionals. The smallest girl is now a college freshman. The shopping mall was renovated. The fountain does not look like this anymore. My sister took this photo. I am glad I had kept this through the years.

Golden memories…They are worth to cherish…♥
