Merry Christmas! : Holiday Giveaway Winner
Yup this happened guys, my little bundle of joy Bentley, licked his nose in front of the camera as we were trying to shoot pictures for a Merry Christmas photo greeting. Come to think of it, it’s a gross thing to do, licking your nose, but he makes it seems sooo adorable. I know that most of you are busy today so let me just quickly wish you all a Merry Christmas and make a special announcement.
Fa la la la la
Christmas here in the Philippines is quite different from how most countries celebrate it. We stay up the entire night of the day before Christmas, and welcome Jesus’ birthday at twelve midnight with a huge delicious feast we call, Noche Buena.
Here in our home, we did it quite simple. We had a couple of good dishes served with our favorite Christmas ham and the best-dessert-ever-invented – Tiramisu. Then we went to open our gifts together in the living room, shared a little talk, and went to bed in the morning, while the rest of the world wakes up and celebrates Christmas. How did you celebrate your Christmas? :)
Before this special day ends, I am thrilled to announce the winner of my blog’s first giveaway…
Congratulations Diana for winning! Diana is one of the bloggers that I recently met here in the blogging community. She’s very supportive of my blog and I also like to read hers, especially since we share a common love for Harry Potter and several beauty products.
I have to say, it was very exciting for me to wait and see who got picked by Rafflecopter. I never thought hosting a little giveaway would be so much fun and fulfilling. Thank you to everybody who joined and once again Merry Christmas! :)

Merry Christmas Shayne!!
I had Noche Buena, Christmas lunch, and then Christmas dinner with my family and relatives. And then went to mass with my family late in the afternoon. I felt like all I did was eat the whole day lol Merry Christmas, Shayne! God bless! ♡ :-)
I still can't believe that I won. Thank you very much <3
Christmas here is quite different. Not only in therms of food ( codfish with broccoli and cabbage) but also with the presents. We didn't wait until midnight because of my grandparents (they like to sleep earlier, so wait until midnight is off of their plans). It was a nice time spent with my family. I got to watch Avengers on TV and finish Casual Vacancy from our beloved J.K.Rowling (can't wait to reed the Cuckoo's Calling!)
Again, thank you very much! Merry Christmas! (it's still December 25 here :3 )
Take care, have a wonderful day!
Awesome he its so cute Merry Christmas doll.

Merry Christmas sis!! :)
Merry Christmas sis! Aww Bentley is such a cutieee <3
Thank you again <3
Oh no, not at all! The worst thing we can do is reading that book and thinking “this is by the author of Harry Potter” because the style isn't the same. She critics the medium-high class a lot. O dare to say that she even makes fun of them. We still have the very detailed scenes, but in therms of language and story, it's totally different (there isn't magic or unexplainable things that could make us think about magic)
The book is nice, but in the end, it's too little. But I think she made it on purpose, to make us think and apply what we would want to complete that void in real life. After all, she once lived those experiences very close.
How fun to celebrate Christmas like that! Adorable Bentley too! ^__^ Merry Christmas Shayne!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! :) We didn't really stay up until morning because I was soo sleepyyyy and tired of all the window panic shopping. Haha. Nevertheless, it was a Christmas spent with my immediate family so I was joyful! Hope you have a great new year's celebration Shayne!
