I really meant to bring our camera to the mall to find the littlest, cutest Christmas tree for this week’s theme, but because I’m so busy, I didn’t have time to do that. I don’t really need to look far, however, to join Mommy Moments this week because we have a teeny-weeny, green and glittering Christmas tree right at home.


Our little Christmas tree has been standing tall and proud at the top of our kitchen cupboard since two Christmases ago, together with its little buddies, Santa and Frosty. Actually, those three are the only Christmas decorations we have in our house since 2008. That’s because our one-bedroom condo unit is too small to accommodate a bigger Christmas tree and other Christmas trimmings, so I didn’t bother decorating anymore.

Yesterday, my son asked me, “Mommy, where are our Christmas decorations?” I pointed him to these three tiny Christmas figures, and he said, “No, Mommy, the Christmas decorations on the wall. We don’t have those.” I just kept quiet because I don’t have plans of buying anymore, next Christmas, maybe. So that’s the story of our little Christmas tree.

To encourage family participation in their Christmas presentation on December 12, all the students at Justin’s school were asked to make their own family Christmas tree on a white cartolina that will be used to decorate their stage. Neither my husband nor I had the time nor the talent to do it, so we commissioned Justin’s Ate Ayie to do this project for him. I gave Ate Ayie money to buy all the materials that she will use while all three of us (Justin, his daddy and I) went to a kiddie birthday party last Saturday. When we came back, our family Christmas tree was all up and ready to go.



Good job, Ate Ayie!
