The Things I Like About Christmas...

Whoo~ Christmas is just about a month away. After coming in contact with snow for the first time in my life, I have never been more excited about Christmas than right now. I'm totally 'dreaming of a white christmas' (but that obviously won't happen here in Asia, so note to self: the word is dreaming).

Even though I'm not a Christian or a Catholic, but I totally love Christmas! And these are the reasons why I lurvvvv it so much!

The decorations everywhere are just so lovely and beautiful. And for once I won't hate the red and green colours.

The screening of old christmas cartoons on tv is certainly something to look forward to. Even if I don't usually wake up early in my adult life, I won't mind doing it just to watch Donald fighting with the chipmunks or Mickey getting ready for Christmas. Ha ha ha...

I just put up a Christmas tree not measuring more than a meter together with my housemate. Its small, but still fun hanging the ornaments and all.

You get to see all types of Santa Clauses. Fat ones, skinny ones, tall and short ones. Its weird and very confusing for kids especially those who like to believe that Santa is staying in Antartica with his whole bunch of elves and a toy making factory.

Christmas shopping can be a hassle to some but also joy to some others. Its 50/50 for me. But its nice shopping during Christmas because you get to see alot of interesting items on display.

I've also made an exception to enjoy wrapping presents for Christmas. Queing up at departmental stores for free wrapping is obviously the easy way out. But I don't mind sitting down with tapes, scissors and wrapping papers for just this once in the 365 days. Anyone who needs the service can kindly proceed to contact my mobile. I charge per present, unless you have one whole load of it, maybe I can charge you package deal instead. *winks*

I've been lucky enough to be able to celebrate Christmas with my aunts and uncles in Singapore. They usually get together over a Christmas dinner, involving salads, roasted turkey, a whole huge leg of ham, potatoes, BBQ-ed chicken wings and other mouth watering dishes.

But I'm sure anyone would agree with me that the most anticipated part of tis' season is the spirit of giving, which means presents. Presents are the most important thing during Christmas. It really doesn't have to be an expensive gift. Its the gesture of exchanging gifts that makes it meaningful.

There are so many other things I like about Christmas. Anything and everything about it just gives me a very warm and fuzzy feeling. I hope my friends and family will enjoy it as much as I do.

Merry Christmas! Ho Ho Ho~
