Holiday preparations

Christmas is my mom's thing. I have been celebrating Christmas with my family all my life and I always look forward to what my mother have come up with for Christmas. She likes fixing the house and making it very 'Christmas-y' by putting up decorations. From the tree, to the wreaths, to the scented candles; my mother would carefully plan how to put everything together as an equestrian would carefully choose equestrian helmets.

This year, everything changes. The turn of events last year had made my mother not to do the usual things she loves to do. Like reading, for example. And making sure the house is squeaky clean all the time. I am the one who's tasked to handle the preparations this year.

I started with going to the mall and buying things for the table set-up. I asked mom on how she wanted everything to be arranged. And the things she wanted to be on the table. The mall was packed with last-minute shoppers but I was able to get everything she wanted. Plus some more that I thought that would make her smile like a Jasmine-scented air freshener, new floor mats, and new place mats for the table.

The next goal is to clean the entire house and change the curtains. Tons of things to do. I am hoping I'll be able to pull it off, like how my mother wanted it.
