Wow, it's so awesome to read about everyone's Christmases! Christmas is my favourite Holiday of the year, and it certainly feels great to see that it is celebrated by so many people around the world. I never knew Christmas is as big as it is in Asia.
Anyways, I'll share a little something about my Christmas too. My Christmas Season usually starts on Dec. 1. That's when we start putting up the lights around our house and setting up the Christmas tree. We'll hang the stockings in place and put up decorations around the house. I also dig out my Christmas albums, and start playing them in the car. All these usually don't go away until the New Year. Now, from the begining of Dec to about 3 days before the big day, my life is filled with Christmas shopping, sending out cards, and planning the Christmas dinner. The dinner takes place on Christmas Eve, and it is very much a family event. We always prepare our own dinner, and the menu often consists of turkey, steak, ham, and various seafoods. Of course, what is a satisfying dinner without desserts? It is not after we fill our stomachs with cakes and pies and other delightful little treats that we will finally call it a night and wait for dear old Santa! |
