As I love both Summer and Christmas, thought of combining my Santa Fe photo with some Christmas effects to reflect an image that means Celebration to me!

Everytime I’m at the beach, I’m on my happiest.

Since it’s Christmastime, here’s wishing everyone the best of the Holiday season. Have a great one!

How about you? What events or things that mean Celebration to you?

    Christmas at the beach, now that is something!
    I am more used to an indoor Christmas – with hopefully no snow outside. Sometimes there is, and it looks beautiful, but it hopefully melts very quickly :)
    It is one of my favourite times of the year. thanks for sharing!

    • aRVee says:

      Christmas at the beach – yeah maybe I am anticipating for our company Christmas party which is actually happening by the beach, it is indeed something, haha…

      I can just imagine how cold it is on winter time at your side of the world, you must have been used to it. As for me, maybe I’ll froze, I mean literally, haha but I believe you have heaters to warm your already cold winter…

      Thanks for dropping by pix… & … kardz :)

      cool, yeah it’s beautiful there. the island is not very commercialized, so if you want a quiet place, it’s great there, otherwise there is Boracay, it’s the opposite but still beautiful. Thanks for dropping by :)

  17. Every time I’m at the beach, I’m happiest too. That plus Christmas plus family-phenomenal! Here’s to a blogger friend who shared a lot of beautiful thoughts and images with me!!! Today I celebrate you for being the generous and cool person you are. Happy Holidays my friend. May love , joy and peace be with you and your family.
    P.S. The Sinulog picture was wonderful. That was some artistic Christmas Tree!

    • aRVee says:

      Wow, my friend, I’m flattered. Thanks for those positive adjectives. Glad you like the Sinulog picture and the Christmas tree photo.

      I wish you well and I have that same wish that may joy and peace be with you and your family too. Take care my friend and stay blessed! :)

    Nice image Arvee. I am also happy to be spend some time in beach. It gives me peace of mind and also gives enough empty space to see in my dreams with open eyes.

    Enjoy this holiday to its fullest. Best wishes.

    • aRVee says:

      Thanks Arindam, glad you like the beach too and I so agree that there is just so much peace at the beach.

      Best wishes to you too and Happy Holidays (to the fullest, as well) :)

    I’m salivating for the beach now, Arvee. Reading this intensified the hunger … for beaches. ;-)

  28. I love the photo Arvee. Snowing at the beach is cause for celebration! That looks very relaxing indeed. I can relate to the photo (minus the snow) because that pretty much sums up our Christmas landscape here in Florida. The gentle ocean breezes, the palm trees swaying and the warm sunshine are a way of life here. By the way, that photo looks like you have the beach all to yourself. It looks like a tropical oasis. I wish you warmth, peace and happiness to you and your family this Christmas. Happy New Year too! :)

    • aRVee says:

      WWP, yeah the beach is in Santa Fe in the northernmost part of Cebu, in the island of Bantayan. Indeed, when you’re there it’s as if you all have the beach all by yourself. Not so commercialized like Boracay (though, I still love the place as well), you’ll definitely love the place if you are a beach person which I suppose you are.

      Actually, it will always be minus the snow here in the Philippines, as well, haha…

      Thanks for dropping by and I wish you and you family the best of the holiday season. Merry Christmas and a bountiful new year! :)

    • aRVee says:

      It’s not as what we have here as well in the Philippines. It’s just my way of interpreting the weekly photo challenge. Thanks for dropping by MadMan, nice to have you here. Happy Holidays! :)
