Motivational Mondays – December With a Difference

It’s finally December and I can’t believe it, we’re into our final month for 2013!

Unlike the other years, there are no travel plans for us this time round. But I’m not complaining since we did went for two family holidays to Taiwan and Hong Kong earlier this year.

The year end is always the best time to catch up with friends and relatives whom we have not met for some time. And this year, I finally started the Christmas tradition of setting up an Advent Calendar so that I can share with Sophie the meaning of Christmas in addition to some Christmas activities and treats 🙂

I’m glad she also knows the reason for the season when she told me that Christmas is because Jesus was born as a baby after her second attempt. Her first answer was, is it Santa Claus’s  birthday?

This Christmas tree was simply made with washi tape, twine, mini clothes peg and cardstock paper. Took me less than 15 minutes to get it up, so it’s totally doable if you’re thinking of getting your act together for an Advent Calendar.

But as nice as this looks, we’re still going to put up the Christmas tree. After all, this sit above our sofa so there is no place to put our present under this Christmas tree 🙂

Another meaningful thing that I’m doing this December is to make greeting cards and gift tags with a bunch of mums this Christmas to raise funds for charity. We had fun making the cards and more importantly, knowing that we are making a difference to a group of unprivileged in our society.

I know you’ll be most willing to support this cause right? So do stay tuned on the blog for more details. But meanwhile,  do drop by my Facebook page to see the available designs and let me know if any catches your fancy.

Who’s ready for December?

I am!
