This year is our third year to celebrate Christmas in our home in Manila. This home has been good to us during the trying time, being sanctuary for our family. Back in March, it felt like eternity to get to December. Now we’re here, it’s hard to believe that the year 2020 will be over soon. We all have been anxious about putting a closure to this year and moving on.
Having decorated my home with Christmas decorations this year seems more meaningful than usual. I wonder how I will feel when I look back on this post of Christmas decorations in 2020 after many years. We have so much to be grateful for, though. For me, being able to celebrate a holiday season with my husband and our children means so much every year.
As for home decorating, as you can see, the way I do is simple. I try to make decorating easy to fit our lifestyle of moving every 3 years while I try to make it as festive as possible with the limited amount of decorations. I try to keep the amount not too much, not too little. The key to simple decorating for a holiday is removing your usual decorative pieces and replace them with Christmas decorations. Less is more.
There are some items I have purchased in Manila. In case you would like to know, the vendors are listed under the photos of the items.
Hopefully these photos of Christmas decorations at my home will bring joy and inspiration for your holiday home decorating.

I changed one thing about the decoration on the buffet. My middle daughter has been asking me to do, so I finally did. This was the same style as in Christmas decorations in 2019. Can you tell what I did?
Fairly Lights: S&R
I found a set of 4 fairly lights with a remove control at S&R in Manila and they are awesome!
