Blessed Christmas
It’s Christmas time again. A time to wish for peace and joy in this increasingly uncertain world. Climate change is perhaps the newest kid on the block that is cause for worry for most governments.
There is never a white Christmas in Singapore, where you can see and enjoy the snow.The closest you can ever get is to get down to Snow City (where artificial snow awaits you) or be contented with a frozen indoor ice skating ring square located at Novena Square’s Christmas themed Snowscape Christmas.
While snow does fall in countries like nearby Hong Kong (hey, they are now having the winter holiday packages right? I know L is there enjoying herself now), Singapore is at best experiencing a wet wet Christmas. It’s been raining perpetually every day since the last 3 weeks. And the rain’s been pretty punctual too – always in the afternoons,and sometimes in the mornings and evenings. So much water so close to home, but rain never succeeds in spoiling my Christmas mood.
It’s that time of the year I guess where you can take things a little easy, be generous with yourself (after all, you’ve worked hard for the last 11.5 months, haven’t you?) and take stock of what you have accomplished this year. December is always the time of reflection for me.
It’s also the time where I try to plan as many activities into the last week as possible. Going through my list, I see names of friends who, like me, have been too busy with our own lives to squeeze some time to meet up for a meal or drink. This is the time to play catch-up and meet all the people whom you’ve always wanted to meet but never quite found the time to before the year is over.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
