Christmas

I guess Christmas has much lesser meaning for me compared to say, 60% of my friends. A rough estimate, but I seem to have much more Christian/Catholic friends than those of other faiths. I digress, again.

My mum's been nagging at me to send e cards to my relatives which I have just done. *phew*
Among them, those from yinsha.com were good and cute, americangreetings.com ain't that bad too. So I've stumbled upon an eye-catching term which I've neglect for 20 years.
"The Spirit Of Christmas", what is it?

I googled for it, as usual. I expected something heartwarming, nice and theological, but hey, I got a Southpark cartoon, man. I think it's graphic Southpark movie clip, still d/ling now.

What's Christmas to me?

1. Orchard strolling
2. Photographing Christmas festivities
3. I used sing carols and I miss being in the choir, probably joining it in NUS. Haha.

The whole hype of Christmas has sadly made me conclude that I lead a boring life. Seems like everyone's having fun out there with friends and their loved ones. My friends are, definitely, out with their loved one. So Christmas is spent with my loved one : Mum. Haha.

I don't know why I got my mum to buy those cheapo x'mas hats with running led lights and super low quality carolling tones. A kid is a kid, that my mum says.

I've been walking along Orchard quite frequently these days, looking for books, clothes etc. and I always see a family selling toys, toys that have little market demand. I guess it's a family lah har...
They take turns to play yo-yo with their tentacle surrounded rubber ball which emits red, blue lights when played. I haven't seen the little girl do the advertising yet (in my fragmented mind), I only remember seeing her once, fiddling out some SMS or game on the phone.

I'm not sure if this family's enjoying it or feeling great about having to sell stuff on X'mas.
So I partially conclude that not all can really celebrate x'mas, sometimes circumstances don't really allow one to enjoy this priviledge. But I guess we can all be nice and loving to each other so make it a special day. Right, I copied that from the South Park clip that I just finished watching. Heh.
