Happy birthday Jesus, eventhough your birthday was months before!

We were listening to Christmas music from Alexa until a birthday song came up. Lil’Tuesday favourite hit mix: but I was like “ok that’s not what I was looking for,” I then was told that technically it is Jesus’ birthday. I had a light bulb moment there 😂😱

We were actually having a candlelight dinner while listening to the music. Lil’Tuesday insisted we blow the candle 😅. Luckily for us, it was actually at the end of our dinner.

Oh how I love the vibe of candles and lighted Christmas tree in the corner of our dining room, with my mom’s signature black pepper lamb chop paired with our pond grown watercress (accidental farming 😂 seems like the koi is fertilising the watercress TOO WELL). I always loved candlelight dinners, but personally never had much of them because… Hey who needs candles when there’s electrical light right?? Mojuju is a very practical man….and he also LOVES SUPER BRIGHT ROOMS. (it gives me migraine sometimes so I bought dimmable bulbs now).

Our amazing watercress which I basically threw some seed into empty pond pot and forgotten about it for a year. 😂

I really made this year’s Christmas extremely exciting for Mr. Monday and Lil’Tuesday this year. Partially because last Christmas we were skint AF and made it a small Christmas with limited gifts. This year, I passed my exam and got a massive salary raise!! 20% raise 😭. Thank God I only took one attempt at it… So the salary raise didn’t cost much 😂

Yes Santa is super generous this year and you know what, Mondays and Tuesday definitely deserve it!

Some may say that I’m totally spoiling my kids. I don’t usually buy them gifts so I really think it’s well deserved. Monday and Tuesday was wiping all the cabinet and window clean yesterday, as well as moping THE ENTIRE GROUND FLOOR. You might think that a 5 year old and 2 year old probably didn’t do it well…. But no it’s seriously sparkling clean 😂. I’m really impressed with Lil’Tuesday. She sprays with (water which she thought its detergent) and really wipe everything really clean. Monday and Tuesday are also always showing so much affection to Mojuju and I, and they are the sweetest lil thing. They really deserve to be spoilt!!!

I still hope that bloodshed stops worldwide, and human can find a way to peace. I pray we escape from all suffering. And I pray the world would stop and appreciate the beauty of earth, and dissipate all hatred in their hearts that are holding them down.

I’m not a Christian, it didn’t stop me from loving a Christian man. I didn’t stop me from celebrating Christmas. Every festival are worth celebrating, because life is all about celebration and being in a community together.

Merry Christmas and stay safe everyone ❤️❤️❤️💕😘

I never thought I’d one day actually sell my works — let it be a painting, craft, or food. I’m just never the entrepreneur kind of person. I mean there’s literally 7 billion people out there who are better than I am; why would anybody buy my works?

All I wanted was to decorate our house for Christmas. On my own I wouldn’t have bothered; but having children means giving them a childhood to remember. I wanted them to grow up with not just culture but memories. Hence why I put extra effort to make rice dumpling on Dragon Boat Festival and bake mooncakes on mooncake festival. I’m not Christian (Mojujuju is), so Christmas was never a celebrated holiday for me. My parents would simply continue working while my sister and I binge on Anime at home.

Unfortunately the only Christmas wreath I ever own/bought is in a pretty bad shape. Not sure where the pinecones are or even the bell who decided hotglue gun just isn’t for her had went. I was scrolling through Amazon for a new wreath, and something just came to my mind.

Why am I buying fake wreath full of plastic and unnatural material when we are surrounded by an amazing garden that never stop giving?

I then researched on wreath making and found out that 90% of the materials are literally right in my backyard! “This will be a nice project for Mr. Monday and I!” (or so I thought). 

Pinecones was one of the main material that I simply did not have. Where do I find a pinetree?!?! I asked around on ZeroWasteNW facebook group (yes, I’m bloody hippie I know lol) and was informed that we could find a massive pine wood right beside Formby beach! How convenient! Mr. Monday could have his fun at the beach and we could then go collect pinecones in the woods. (or so I thought).
