During the Christmas season, I enjoyed watching lights show than fireworks display. I am not sure though if this comes with age, lol. Or maybe because I am more concerned with the effects of fireworks in the environment that have me pick another option.
Last Christmas season’s Light Show at TriNoma was a hit with the kids, We even had to delay eating our dinner just so the kids can watch again. I’m sure others won’t mind hauling big, bulky and nor necessarily cheap musical instruments to and fro the area if they were asked to play live music.

I love the Christmas tree at my MIL’s home. The photo here does not do justice to how it looks so nice. Sitting on the sofa and cushions on the floor, what we need is a fireplace to make the room more Christmas-y than it already is.
At home, we didn’t do an elaborate Christmas tree decoration. In fact, it was the youngest child who did the tree so ours was without lights. I was not much into the swing of things about Christmas last month because of something that happened.
We love going to tiangge or bazaars but we usually don’t do much buying especially with the toys that “smell” aka toxic fumes and high lead content.
Last Sunday however, we went to a place with lots of bazaar stalls. We went before lunch thinking that parking would be a breeze due to the boxing match but I guess people were not really interested that much to watch anymore but parking was full and we were on the rooftop parking around lunchtime.
People were carrying all sorts of bags in the bazaar and I’m pretty sure the big boxes contain appliances, cpu carts, and furniture. The smaller bags had clothes, shoes and trinkets.
As usual, the husband can haggle better than me.
We got a few items for the children. I got … nothing for me, as usual
