Today I helped decorate the Christmas tree at Grandma's place. The rest of the night was spent writing Christmas cards to some of my friends overseas. Wow, the Christmas spirit's really getting to me now! Yah, its kinda late, since decorations have been up for more than a month, but better late than never! I guess I've been too caught up in work and all that to really appreciate that Christmas is coming....
Anyway, I actually drove past (in my friend's car) the Orchard Road lightup on Friday. I've seen it before, but not the full thing. Somehow it feels lacking. There's lights and glitz and all, but the feeling of warmth is not there. All those tents, gazebos and stages by the roadside kinda spoils the mood. And the stupid ribbon thing on those banners across the streets? That's just an eyesore! The best Xmas decorations I have seen are actually not those put up by department stores or the tourist promotion board. The best Xmas light up I've ever seen was driving down a street in Albany and seeing all the homemade decorations adorning everyone's yard and the glitzy white trees inside. Now that's what I call warmth! Sometimes less is more....

Amidst those bright lights, decorations and commercial tents.... something is missing...
The Christmas spirit is missing... Even Santa Clause doesn't look right anymore nowadays....
All we need is love...
