What’s Under Your Tree?
It was three nights before Christmas when TS and I both decided to open our Christmas gifts for each other and see what’s inside our Christmas stockings. Even before then, I have been asking and pleading him to open it. Finally, that Sunday when I asked him the same plea, he said “yes” while he was making Pot Roast for dinner. He thought that we’ll have our Christmas dinner that night since we won’t be spending our Christmas Eve and Day here at home.
Our gifts were stashed in the corner of the living room beside our TV stand. (Speaking of tv stands, we need to buy a real one since the one we have is technically a smaller coffee table.) It has been there a week before Christmas and I have been shaking and feeling the ones that are for me to see if I can figure out what’s in them. But TS outsmart me since he put some cardboard surface on each item even those that are in the stocking and wrapped them individual so I won’t have a clue.
After having a yummy Christmas dinner (I was not into the meal portion as my attention was on the gift-opening), we proceeded opening our gifts. I made TS open his gifts first. I gave him 2 Aero shirts and an Aero body warmer. I also gave him a Gillette Fusion gift set, socks, tweezer, shaving gel and his 2 favorite candies – Junior Mints and Nerds. I also gave him what he always wanted – a Garmin Nuvi 350 GPS Personal Assistant. He loved it and the smile in his face is priceless.
There goes my excitement! I’ve been ripping the wrappers here and there and loving each one that TS got for me. Most of them are personal items and the ones that I always needed. He also got me a trimming scissor, static-free combs, nipper, and a ceramic-tourmaline hair blower. Then the big box is waiting for its turned. I was ecstatic like a kid opening a present from Santa on Christmas Day. I ripped it open and found something that was on my wish list. TS got me a sewing machine and a sewing book too! I could not contain my happiness.
The rest of the night was spent with me exploring and did my first project on my sewing machine. TS on the other hand was busy updating and getting more software for his navigator.
How about you? What was under your tree?

wow! lots and lots of Christmas gifts. hehehe daghan jud S hehehe… and TS got lots too.
About your question dear Jacy, yes girl, we will stay up until 12 MN to watch the countdown sa TV. Normally, we go to bed between 10pm to 11pm.
So I asked Winn if we are going to stay late tonight and he said, “yes”.
I am sorry that I wasn’t able to send you Christmas thoughts as I don’t know your home address…
Happy New year Jacy and Travis!

I remember receiving sewing machine and matching sewing book too from my Hubby on one our first Christmases together. S-machine would be a big help for you as it had been to me. You will learn a lot from it! It’s wonderful to receive a gift filled with love!
Take care, my sweet Jacy!

Wow! It seems like I’m following your footsteps Tita Beng. I will definitely explore my machine and will see what things I can come up with it.
Take care too, Tita Beng!
