Christmas

Wondering what would I get for my Christmas pressies?

It is undeniable that Christmas is a season where everybody wants to have a valid reason for getting pressies. Children are ga-ga over Christmas season - fair enough cause it's the time for them to ask something they wanted - from the mythical Santa Clause when the pressies are actually from our parents. I used to be there, too.

Don't you think that me, Specky, is one of Santa's gift to you? *smiles away cheekily*

Christmas is so overrated. It used to be a time for people remembering Jesus' birthday, not giving away pressies. It's the time for us to forgive. Time for us to spend some really good quality time with our families. Time for bonding. A time to be thankful for all the good things we had (and no, I'm not refering to Thanksgiving) after Jesus' coming into this world. All thanks to Santa concept, everyone only thinks that it's a season for spending money and getting something in return. It's not that I'm against the notion of Santa. Santa helps us to understand that doing good is so much better. To be more accurate, I'm refering to the giving and taking nature. Now, Christmas is all about:

1. Spending money.
2. Packaging pressies.
3. Lie about Santa (when you are the one giving it) - especially to little children.
4. Enjoying the holidays.
5. Time for exploitation - for profit-making reasons.

Just like the Christmas tree behind me. It's a Celcom-Christmas tree. It's something like telling that buy Celcom = get yourself a happy Christmas kind of thingy. Hmm, it's like everyone is taking advantage of Christmas. We have Christmas sales. We have Christmas stalls. We have Christmas makeups - yeah, like the ones M.A.C. is promoting right now, The M.A.C. Christmas 2008 Collection.

Anyways, all I wanna do here is to wish everyone a Merry and Blessed Christmas in advanced. :)
