We have started decorating the house slowly. First it was the Christmas wreath that was hung on the front door. There was really no need to redo this since the decorations are just the same year after year 
I just clean the stuff before I put it away.
Then last Monday my BIL gave us the tree that they have been using for a few years now. He got a bigger and newer tree from a client of his, for free.
I really had to start decorating, I told myself.
I was dilly-dallying before that because we needed to get a new tree and I am glad that we haven’t gotten one yet. So now there’s no excuse but to put up what was given to us and bring out the decorations. So that Monday itself when we got the tree, we put it up.
The children were enthusiastic because last year, we didn’t put up a tree.
To keep myself busy and my mind not thinking about Sparky our beloved dog who passed away last Wednesday, the younger children and I busied ourselves doing some crafts as tree ornaments and additional personalized Christmas gift tags.
So now I am sharing some photos for a glimpse of Christmas in our home, some photos that I took during the weekend:
I have plans to spend a frugal Christmas this year.
That includes preparing the menu that won’t be too expensive but still delicious enough to make my loved ones happy.
Should I have some diet pills ready then? I hope not.
