A month ago when I was still brainstorming for gift ideas for the holidays, it was such a big challenge looking for that perfect gift for my Uncle based in San Francisco. He’s the one who used to love going to Las Vegas because of the allure of the casinos as soon as he retired. [...]

Our holiday cards are still perched on the desk. This year, although, I ordered personalized holiday cards, I made sure that the holiday greeting (text) is going to be handwritten by me.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here in New York. Take a look at the giant Christmas tree at the Rockefeller Center: the world’s most famous Christmas tree.

She has [...]

Not that I’m demanding one, but as my husband puts it: he goofed this time. Yes folks, this housewife did not get a present from Santa. Do I feel bad? No, not a bit because Santa’s excuse is acceptable. And Santa is for sure going to make up for it, and he will big time!
What [...]

Today is Christmas Eve, and no, we’re not going to be isolating ourselves this time, unlike Thanksgiving day. We’re off to Long Island, at my sister’s house for dinner up till Santa gives away the presents. Yes, it has been a tradition every year ever since I started living here in New York. How about [...]
