Hello people,
Christmas is one of my favorite festival, even though I don’t celebrate it. Especially since moving to Dubai I am doubly excited just looking at the huge ass displays they have at the malls and other central places.
And we are going on a three holiday starting tomorrow (read again: we don’t celebrate Christmas) to Fujairah. There are technically very few places to visit (or that is what Google says) so we will be enjoying our stay at the resort. I will be sharing the photos in my next Sunday post.
On the other news, I am all geared up for the New year and I am well equipped with plans for the blog. Yes that is plural and you know I tend to go overboard with the scheduling bit. Of course, the real problem comes with the execution, but that is a topic for another day. So yes, I have planned it all for January and I will keep planning.

Thanks Kal and I hope you are all set with your goals to be put into action.
Wow, that’s a mood. I have plans, but wow, that execution is going to be difficult. 😂
Right? I hope they turn as good as the plans!
Enjoy your three day holiday and also I am glad you could enjoy looking at all the displays. Christmas is one of my favourite holidays too. Probably my all time favourite one. Also, I love that you are so scheduled and planned ahead ready. Me too 😉
I can’t wait to see your blog plans for the new year!
I know what you mean about the execution of plans. LOL I always have big plans and struggle to keep them. Have a lovely vacation!
Have a great holiday season! Enjoy your plans for the New Year, and thanks for visiting my blog.
Hey! Someone is all set out for the new year😄 I like the fact that you intend to blog more, I wish I can say that too,
Enjoy your holiday.
I hope you enjoy your vacation! A resort stay is always nice 🙂 Happy New Year!
Thank you and same to you!
Happy holidays, I hope you’ll have a great time and safe travels! 🙂 x
Thank you Marie. Hope you are having a good time too.
I have a bunch of non-christian friends, who love Christmas. One puts up more decorations than I do. It’s fun to look at all the fanfare. I hope you have a wonderful and safe trip. I eager to see those pictures, because I have never been there.
Happy Christmas even though you don’t celebrate.
Enjoy your travels! I’m all excited for New Year plans too but already pondering how many of them I’ll achieve, lol!
Ooh, I’m excited about the plans 🙂 oh, thank you for sharing my post! <3
Happy holidays even if you don’t celebrate Christmas – actually I don’t celebrate the religious Christmas either, just give me all the Christmas trees and lights and the opportunity to spread the message of kindness to the world!
And yay for being organized and ready for New Year!
Enjoy your holiday break and have an awesome New Year too (I can’t believe it’s almost New Years)!!!
Safe travels, I’ll be looking forward to see the photos you take from your trip. Have a lovely week.
