| Christmas, Personal

I put up this decoration in my cubicle on Thanksgiving week. Since then, every single day I hear people going “Oooh~!” “Aahhh~!!”. It’s been super fun so far.

The Christmas tree with 800 lights was $10 at a garage sale.

I bought the train, stuffed reindeer, and a red scarf from Costco.

I’ve been playing Christmas music for the last 2 months. Christmas is now only two weeks away. I already feel emotional that the end is near. I would like to enjoy more and share with more people.

Merry Christmas. Happy holidays.

Costco Shopping – December 7, 2017

I went to Costco for Eneloop batteries ($19.99 after $10 instant savings). It was a quick in and out shopping. As I was taking a brisk walk to the batteries, I passed by 2 sample stations. Look what they gave me. That’s a lot of candies. I was so happy.

Christmas is a few weeks away, and Costco is already taking down Christmas items as usual. I noticed all the big items, such as the big snowman, were gone.

I wish to enjoy the holiday season before it’s over. I would like to get out and fight traffic, mix with crazy shoppers, and stop for pumpkin spice coffee. I shall enjoy this magic moment.

Happy Thanksgiving 2017

This is my 8th year baking turkey alone.

I have places to go every year. I thank them, but I refuse to join them. Nobody, including my family, matches the comfort and joy that I have when I bake turkey alone.

I want to bake my turkey. It’s so much fun.

One of my coworkers enjoys visiting my house on Thanksgiving day for a few hours. Because I provide comfort and joy… a lot of good stuff to eat.

I just woke up. I shall take a shower and start the day with coffee. I cleaned my kitchen last night and put on some Christmas decorations. Look at my beautiful kitchen. I came a long way. Remember when I was poor? Now I feel awkward (guilty?) to show pictures because I remember not having good things like these.

Life’s been fun so far. But one thing I envy the most is people who have families of their own. You have the best gift. It makes me want to cry when I see father and son walking together, etc… It looks so beautiful and I wish I have that.

Happy Thanksgiving. I’ll talk to you soon. Have fun~!!

OMG, I am getting better at baking turkey.

Keep checking for holiday savings

I am enjoying special holiday savings at Costco. I am keeping fining some good stuff this year. It’s been fun so far.

This hooded sweatshirt is very fancy for how much you pay ($15.99 after $4 off). It’s high quality. They are by Buffalo David Bitton. I guess it’s somewhat of a fashion brand.

These jackets will hug your body. They are for fit people.

I also bought 3 pairs of Buffalo brand jeans with $15 total savings.

They have some good holiday stuff this year.

Winter Clothes

I like this fuzzy shirt. It’s cozy and warm. Actually, it’s a little too warm that I can only wear it when it’s very cold outside. It was only $11.99 with $3 Holiday Savings. The price will go up to $14.99 after November 16th. But $15 is still a super value. I am thinking about getting one more.

Last few weeks, I bought a few more Winter items at Costco. Winter (trail) boots were $23.99 after instant savings of $6. Insulated gloves were $16.99.

The boots are too cheap for my standard, and they smell of rubber (very little). But, It was $23.99, and they have leather tops. It’s a pretty good price for what they are. So, I bought a pair just to keep it. I may need them once or twice a year, but when I do, they will save my day. Because I didn’t have a single pair of Winter shoes (hiking boots).
