Time flies.

Time flies, it's end of the year again. I have seen the Christmas Tree being set up in my workplace in early November. Retailers have been working very hard for this Christmas season with all the greatest promotion of the year. I just wonder, since when Malaysians are so keen to celebrate Christmas.

However, this year Christmas is slightly different. I used to feel like I have no money to spend at all during Christmas time when I was still a student. Nobody would expect a Christmas gift from me. This year, I started to earn my income, and I am really excited to get my family members some Christmas gifts. One for each person. Hooray!

So, I wrapped the Christmas gifts on Tuesday and wondering if Santa also feel happily "broke" every year. Well, in Chinese family, it's not the only gift-giving season, if you are married, you need to give some money in the red envelopes for the children and singles in your family and those who come to visit you during the Chinese New Year. So, it means, when I get married, I would be broke twice a year, once during the Christmas, once during the Chinese New Year which normally falls around January or February.

Giving is greater than receiving. So, it's ok to be financially broke sometimes. I still wonder how my dearest ones would react when they see the gifts, as I was happily wrapping them in wrapping papers, ribbon and cards.

Merry Christmas to everyone. God bless ya.

(As there are only 10 more days to go in year 2010, I was reflecting on what had been going through this year. Thank you Lord,..and I could not stop thanking You for all the wonderful blessings and little miracles You have given to me.)
