I'm back! After a long sabbatical leave from blogging, I'm back to writing again. It's not like I got into a blogger's rot (well, maybe), but after a couple of blogs that got me into trouble, I thought I needed a break and a breath of fresh air. What was meant to be a "critique" of iPad (which I received as a birthday present) offended my friends who gave it to me and my blog came off as a complaint from an ungrateful spoiled-rotten individual. Another blog expressing my side of the story in a whirl wind chaos with a friend (or ex-friend) was construed as an attack on my part and is now being used to further put blame on me in addition to what I have been accused of doing.
Well, maybe by staying quiet for some weeks would put everything behind me now. At least, I'm hoping. Christmas is in the air. I can feel it with the soft snow flakes falling, smell it in the fragrance of pine trees, see it in the excitement of my kids for the presents Santa would bring. The Christmas tree is up with silver trimmings, the season's greetings are mailed out, the kids have been to Santa's workshop and have given him their lists, and the presents are wrapped under the tree.

Maybe it's going to be a peaceful holiday after all. Enough of the drama! I'm counting the days before Christmas, ready to celebrate, sit back and savor the memories of this year. More importantly, I am looking forward to our homecoming to the Philippines. Nothing beats a grand celebration with the whole family and kin. Okay, now I'm really excited!
