I hope you will enjoy this one.Now i am logging off to get a life. I mean sleep and dream on sleeping on a sleep number bed. tomorrow I have to wake up early. Will send the kids to their grannies' place. yehey. i and hubby are going to have a date.

The Real Twelve (12) Days of Christmas and Advent

So.. when does the season of Advent begin?


The season of Advent begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, and for nearly a month Christians await the coming of Christ in a spirit of expectation, singing hymns of longing. Then, on December 25, Christmas Day itself ushers in twelve days of celebration, ending only on January 6 with the feast of the Epiphany. Exhortations to follow this calendar rather than the secular one have become routine at this time of year. But often the focus falls on giving Advent its due, with the Twelve Days of Christmas relegated to the words of a cryptic traditional carol. Most people are simply too tired after Christmas Day to do much celebrating.

So on the 25th Day of December starts the first day of Christmas. Not on the 1st of December. I got a bit confused with the dates as to when and how last year. Putting up the advent calendar on the 1st day of December was right after all. So 4 days more to go and our Advent Calendar and Christmas tree will be up.

i just took out my juicer. it has been in the cupboard for 3 years. we got it from the real rewards. peter has accumulated points that entitled us to get something. we chose the juicer. i only used it once and i kept it in the cupboard. but last week, i took it out. i prepared it for the dinner we had for our wedding anniversary. i prepared some celery, carrots, green apple and red apple. celery juice was a hit for me. i tried searching about the benefits of celery juice and i found out that celery juice with honey can suppress the appetite, especially taken right before meal time. this is a great news for me as my appetite has been so big these days.i actually had been searching for some fat burners and found Anoretix. hehehe. not sure whether i wanna use it or just drink celery juice. hmmm...
