I always make parinig nah te other day he said we will get xmas decors from the garage but he realized we had some grocery in the car :crying: :crying: :crying: I will make sure next year everything will change because I want my son to appreciate and love the xmas season even in a small way :star:

I see. So you have Christmas decors in your garage? Why don't you pick those up and start decorating? You can do it yourself and that will surely surprise your husband :)

me and hubby decorated it.... and we put santa also in the side .... :)

That's a BIG Santa you got there, but the tree is bigger :D Beautiful tree! Nice job on that :thumbs:

I hope my hussband will read this thread coz i really want to have xmas decoration here :crying: :crying: :crying: nasa garahe lang ang xmas tree :crying: :crying: :crying:

Hi girl, why don't you tell him about what you want? Iba pa rin ang athmosphere pag may Christmas decorations lalo na Christmas tree. Not yet too late for you to put up decors. Tell your husband, NOW!!! :)

I always make parinig nah te other day he said we will get xmas decors from the garage but he realized we had some grocery in the car :crying: :crying: :crying: I will make sure next year everything will change because I want my son to appreciate and love the xmas season even in a small way :star:

If parining to him doesn't work, try to set up your Christmass by yourself..lets see what he gonna do :D

I bug my husband so many times to get a Christmass tree..this is our first Christmass tree so we are both excited.

I hope to see your Christmass pic uploaded here.

Goodluck,

Evelyn

Its really nice to see that all of you set up your own Christmas Trees!! Early this month I told my husband that I want us to have Christmas Tree here in our place to feel the Spirit of the Holidays. He just laughed and he said that Christmas is not a big deal here( obviously coz not all American family get together during Christmas unlike in the Philippines).

But just early this week I was telling him stories of what we usually do during Christmas.... my Christmas in Iloilo, in Bohol and in Manila. He said its ok to miss those times and he would love to experience our celebration of Christmas in the Philippines.

Then one day, he did not get a Christmas Tree coz we don't have enough space.. he brought home wreath so that we have a little Christmas decoration in

our place. Its not that grand but its something.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!

Getting a wreat is a good sign. It means he's open to Christmas decors. Hopefully next year you will have decoration all over your house including a Christmas tree :)
