Hohohoho... Tis the season to be jolly....

Merry Christmas to all! Its Christmas eve and i'm here at home blogging. Hahaha. Enjoyed myself immensely today. For the first time in 3 weeks i had an experience of Christmas shopping! Headed down to Parco as soon as i booked out to buy super last-second presents for my whole family. Some things never change dont they? I am only always perpetually continually consistent in getting things done only in the final moments.

But what i find strikingly absent this Christmas is the glaring lack of Santa Clauses in the malls. As i thronged Parco today with other fellow hundreds of eleventh hour shoppers, i sadly did not see a single Santa Clause ambushing kids with their bagful of candies. Whatever happened to the spirit of giving??? Where is the distinct eternally embraced low-pitched sound of "Ho Ho Ho"?
Perhaps we Singaporeans are living a perfectly healthy lifestyle now. But there are always pillows and cushions that can be used as a substitute for bellies right?

Then again, Christmas is not just about shopping and Santa Clauses. To me it is more about looking back at all the things that God has given you and taking this special few days to appreciate and thank the people who have made a difference in your life through a tangible manner. Christmas is also a time for me to look back at all the things that when by through the year. Be it good or bad, be thankful that God has brought you through it. While looking at the events that flew past this year, it is also imperative that we try to draw lessons from all the events that impacted our lives this year.

Christmas is indeed all about giving and sharing. What better way to let your loved ones know that you still care for them then to suprise them with armloads of presents on Christmas day? To all dear readers, it's Christmas. Let the ones you love know that you still love them. Do not assume that they know. If it's one thing i've learnt this year upon enlistment is the dangers of assumptions. Now is the time, and probably the last time this year, to do something if you have not done anything for your loved ones at all.

Therefore i urged all of you, my friends, my bothers and sisters, my fellow countrymen, my dear readers, GIVE ME ALL YOUR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS!!!! Haha. Just joking. Ps. "But i dun mind if you all really do".

Ok. I've blogged my Christmas eve peace. Its time to crank up the radio and soak in all the Christmas carols while hiding presents for your loved ones under the Christmas tree. Eat drink and be merry people! And may all your Christmases be white.
