Yeay Christmas is just around the corner... 5 more days only to be exact
i know Christmas by right shouldnt mean anything much to me... shd be just another public holiday... since im a free thinker and besides S'pore has no such thing as snow, reindeer, burning fireplaces and big grand Thanksgiving dinners with enormous stuffed turkeys.
but i think its the mood of christmas that i like.... the feeling portrayed with living rooms with Christmas Trees (with heaps of presents underneath) with tables laden with hot food, all bathed in a warm and pale yellow light from the fireplace, while outside the window is all cold and white and snow is lazily cascading down... its the peace you feel inside when you hear children caroling....
christmas used to mean gg to big department stores like Isetan and Robinsons with my family and get lost in heaps of toys, checking out those Micro Machines and Zoids and pleading with my parents to buy them for me, while Christmas songs are playing in the background and Salvation Army ppl are ringing those bells of theirs...
altho most likely this christmas i will be staying home and watching lame to the max shows on TV, or maybe gaying around and clusterfucking with army ppl in town....hahahha thats utterly gay and sad case to the maximum
and btw i just noticed the nicest Christmas songs are also the saddest.... read from a website that most of the writers of these songs are jewish... and many of the songs are written during war... the song White Christmas (I'm dreaming of a white christmas...) was written by a Jew... his only son died on Christmas day... so every single christmas meant laying down flowers and mourning for his lost son...and when the song was released it was world war... its was damn popular with the soldiers away from home cos it contained all their homesickness and nostalgia... it hinted at peace during times of hostility and death... go listen to Bing Crosby's version of the song... really sounds like a funeral song la... also check out Silent Night/7 O'Clock News by Simon and Garfunkel... its utterly sad la... but also damn nice oso...
