It was early Tuesday morning, the angels woke me up as i dream of an old Christmas song.
"Christmas isn’t Christmas
Till it happens in your heart
Somewhere deep inside you
Is where Christmas really startsSo give your heart to people
You’ll discover when you do
That it’s Christmas, really Christmas for you!"
The KLCC shopping mall was excessively packed with last minute shoppers last sunday night, the area where the parking ticket vending machines located were so crowded that the queque looks like a maze to me. Well, its not like i have any issue with it cuz its vain just to say things like that and then swim right back into the sea of shoppers (opps!).
Although christmas has been commercialized nowadays (to the extent i'm quite agree with that). However, i always think that Christmas is not just about gifts and christmas party. Its about the SPIRIT of christmas!! How the christmas songs can lighten the mood, how the sight of the shinning christmas tree able to make your inner child running out, how the surprise christmas gift will makes you cries out in glee, and how the Christmas Mass draws you so nearer to the baby Christ.
Christmas time these days really stir up a lot of my emotion, it really reminds me that growing up is fun. I brought up in traditional Christian family, and as a child, i've always love Christmas season, cuz its my once a year 'happening' moment where i get to wear up my shinning white dresses and become the angle who declared the good news of the birth of Jesus Christ during the caroling. it just oozes such a warm fuzzy feeling everytime i reminescence on those innocent days. Although now i have jumped out of the traditional frame of the Christians, I still harbor a lot of these similar feelings for Christmas.
While i'm writing these, my heart is singing with the excitement of wanting to share all of these feelings out bluntly with no reserve. people asked me shouldn't we do these at all time instead of only once a year, people also criticizes those consumers who falls into the fake Christmas tranquility putting up by those smart business man. what i really wanted to say is whether we like it or not, living in the city itself makes us get too caught up in our lives and forget about what's the thing which matters the most. So is it that bad if we have some nice holidays to remind us what we should be doing more often, and if not, the purpose of what we celebrate? The civilizations had created special occasions to bring people together, and why not we take full advantages of it instead being defensive and critical?
I was reading a friend's blog yesterday,
"以为我能习惯 一个人的安全感
圣诞节即将来令 我还是讨厌一个人度过
我还是讨厌在新加坡度过
无话可说。。~Lyon"
my dear friend, you will never get used to celebrating Christmas alone, cuz its never Christmas until you celebrated and share it with someone. I wish that someone will be there for you during this season and tell you what, don't let it slip away as soon as the 24hour occasion is over.
Merry Christmas in advance to everyone!
