my oh my, it really has been a really really long while.
this holiday is one filled with activities. overseas- hk, thailand, malaysia. then there were the church activities- old queen street, baptism service.
i'm still bummed out that i cant make it for yc camp this year. oh well, so be it. spending time with my favourite literature textbook- pride and prejudice- is absoulutely necessary.
this holiday break has gone by in a flash. one moment i was still anticipating the hk trip and the next is already christmas. what a season.
christmas. its really getting overtly commercialised by producers. we as consumers on the other hand willingly get sucked into this vortex. blame consumerism for irradicating the true meaning of christmas. i think many (no offence) dont realise what the real occasion christmas is. either that or it simply slips out of their mind and they get caught up with shopping. its really more of a routine or an unwritten rule that you gotta buy gifts for people during christmas. you dont really want to be labelled the christmas scrooge. perhaps its time we should remind ourselves what christmas really is.
i dont need fancy gifts
i dont need pretty frocks
i dont need santa claus
i dont need a christmas tree
i've got the greatest gift of all- Jesus Christ

merry christmas folks and happy holidays.
