Of Christmas Decorations, Surprise Gifts and Frabelle Foods Honey Glazed Ham! :)

I can’t believe it’s almost February! Like I said in one of my earlier posts, we plan to take down our Christmas/Happy Birthday Jesus decorations on February 2, the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord (or Candlemas)— well, that’s just around the corner — next Sunday! We’re going to miss our simple but meaningful decorations! Hopefully though, we won’t ever forget what they symbolize — the joy and hope and wonder of Jesus’ birth! 🙂

Anyway, you all probably know that during the holy-day season, I was on a sort-of-blogcation. I limited my posts to being focused on Christmas and New Year, and the days after, including our wedding anniversary. (I somehow feel like I still have a hangover from that blogcation, hence the lack of posts here! Added to that, it’s been a really busy month for me — busy BUT blessed! 🙂 Read more about it here, if you like!)

That’s why I wasn’t able to write about SO many other things I wanted to write about after Christmas Day, like the wonderful surprise gifts I got from some blog partners, namely and Mayumi & Me (though I did post photos on !) — they sent me these goodies just because. (Thank you, ladies, you really made my Christmas oh-so-much merrier!)

Medela goodies! 🙂 Perfect for when I give birth and start breastfeeding Baby no. 3! 🙂
Thank you again, dear ! 🙂

This came at JUST the perfect time, when I was wishing that I had a planner!
I was planning to buy the Mommy Mundo’s Mom 24/7 Planner then I got home to find this sweet gift
from ! (God’s timing!) Thank you again, Armi! 🙂

I also wasn’t able to share that a few days before Christmas — just in time — we received a package on our doorstep: a 1kg bag of Frabelle Foods Honey-Glazed Ham!

This came JUST in time, too! 🙂
Because we hadn’t bought ANY ham to complement our Christmas dinner! 🙂

This was a pleasant surprise because I had no prior knowledge nor notice that we’d be receiving anything from Frabelle! 🙂 (God is awesome that way, you know? He even provides for the seemingly “little” things in our lives!)

So how did the ham taste?

Well, Anthony and I thought it was very good! 🙂 (It actually became one of our ulam or viands for breakfast and lunch {and snacks} for a few days! Don’t worry though, I did my best to balance our meals with vegetables and fruits! Umm… “try” being the keyword! Yikes!)

Apparently, Frabelle’s honey-glazed ham tastes the way it does because it’s prepared the classic way — it’s naturally smoked using imported wood chips, and is infused with pure honey that is blow-torched! The ham is made from fresh premium whole-muscle meat (from the pork leg), which makes it really tender.

Of course, the ham didn’t last that long in our household, since we used it to make sandwiches for breakfast and snacks! 🙂
