Christmas Spirit in Dubai

Christmas is the most exciting time of year for many people. The feelings are really hard to even put into words. The whole atmosphere of the world seems to change to joys and celebrations.

Festive decor certainly puts people in the spirit, it creates an atmosphere and an ambiance that is festive again. Being out and about in the big city on Christmas is an experience worth treasuring.

Warm and wonderful wishes from Raymond & Michelle , MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

A Simple Joy

It's Raymond's Birthday today, 9 Dec. We decided not to throw a big birthday party . In fact, we had a simple and warm birthday celebration at home. Just the two of us

A popular dish on birthday.
Longevity noodles - symbolises a long life

Even though it was a simple birthday celebration, we appreciated the little things and felt happy and contented with such. What matters most is the every previous moment and joys we shared in our life.

Hubby, I would not let a year pass without handing something to you be it simple or exquisite. I promised, we will have a romantic dinner of two plus a special birthday gift one day! I can see a wide smile on his face now.
