First of all, to everyone out there and all around the world, 
To my families, relatives and friends, 
Have a blessed, warm, and loving Christmas in this holiday season, take care and,
Have a lovely 2014 ahead.

This year is the first time, I'm able to celebrate Winter Solstice, Christmas,
New Year, Chinese New Year with my family and friends. 
Maybe it's a good sign, and hopefully 2014 will be good to me.
Since I went to overseas for studies,
I've been celebrating all the exciting events with my friend. 
It's a different experience for me, yet it's heart warming and unforgettable too.
Celebrating all these exciting events with family will be memorable to me.

Every year, during this holiday season, I try to have like flash backs of my childhood,
How I celebrated Christmas, and I try to blog it every year's Christmas.
Well, Christmas is a season to give, where everyone has a present for themselves, or, 
a present for someone. For me, Christmas is not about Santa, is about giving love to everyone you love.
I still remember receiving presents from relatives, families, friends and of course, Santa Claus.
Looking at all those wrapped presents, thinking what will it be underneath all those wrappings.
Maybe its what I want? Well, here's one of the stories to share.

My uncle is the one who always, without fail, every year, organised like a family reunion on Christmas Eve,
where he takes maybe a month to prepare and organise, from the menu, to the guest, 
very dedicated and thoughtful. Of course, mouth watering menu as always.
Turkey, warm hearty soup, finger food, a small cheese corner, dessert like pudding with warm custard.
Oh...and also the Christmas tree he puts up, and decorated with colourful ornaments, bells, 
and the shiny star at the top of the tree, and under the Christmas tree, full of presents for all us.
Christmas songs played all night, everyone jokes around, telling their own childhood stories.
It's nice to have relatives gathering around, although there's no fireplace, definitely not snowing outside.
However, everyone enjoys it. Laughters fill the room, and when the clock strikes midnight,
Everyone toast for a better year ahead, and just like that, the year ends with laughters and happiness.

As I grow older, of course, it's not compulsory to have Christmas present,
However, I'm still happy, and as I grow older, I start to help my uncle in the kitchen,
and the desserts too. Up till today, although this year's Christmas will be a little different from before,
but this little flashback still remains in my mind. Doesn't matter how many years have past,
Christmas is still Christmas, where kids are happy, because Santa Claus is coming to town with presents, 
Everyone busy preparing dinners and reunion party, and welcoming a brand new year.
I hope, one day, I can celebrate somewhere with snows and sleigh rides. As everyone says, it's very different celebrating a white Christmas...

Once again, blessed Christmas everyone...
