It will soon be September and in the Philippines, the country where I grew up, the Christmas season officially begins. While I bemoan the fact that my summer break is almost over, I too get excited with the thought of Christmas coming soon. Well, in four months.

I must say, it is my most favorite time of year and I just can't help it. To date, Marc and I have no plans of any travel for this season. We might just stay here in the US and visit Washington DC and New York.

Anyway, let me be the first to greet you a very Merry Christmas! Ha!
