Yes..Its that time of the year again. With Christmas coming up, New Year’s around the corner, my birthday in January (for some reason, I no longer look forward to my Birthday (the gifts are ok!!). I think its an evil day where people remind you that you are growing one year older, are still single – and need to be married off ASAP!), and Valentine’s Day not too far away, there is absolutely nothing that can stop one from falling either into the holiday cheer, or a dose of self obsessive pity. Hmm..I almost feel like Bridget Jones…maybe I’ll be eaten by an Alsatian:)
Anyway, this is going to be my first Christmas here in Dubai, and from the looks of it I’ll be celebrating New Year’s here as well – although am still in the process of trying to convince the parents to allow me to come home.
Ok, so Christmas always brings back fond memories. Ever since we were young, we’ve always celebrated Christmas. My parents and friends would exchange gifts, and there would be parties to attend. This was especially wonderful, coz I’d get gifts for both Christmas AND my Birthday! (Ughh…still don’t want to think about that!) Those were fun days. Now however, Christmas has become a money making business. Exchanging gifts is sometimes soo superficial – way too commercialized.
Nevertheless, the spirit and cheer of Christmas always brings a smile to my face. Even in this desert country, it’s wonderful to hear the Christmas music following you down the aisles of the malls. Truly awesome!
Hmm…all this talk about Christmas just brought to my mind an old song we used to sing. Well, a 'lil twist to the old caroll – yet oh so perfect! This is how it goes…
Deck the Hall with Gasoline…
Falalalalaaa lalalala
Light a Match, and see it Gleam..
Falalalalaaa lalalala
Watch the School Burn Down to Ashes…
Falalaa Falalaa lalalala
Isn’t it Fun to Play with Matches!!
Falalalalaaa lalalala
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

Well people can make it as superficial as they like it-but the one who derives the most is the one who feels and enjoys the spirit of the season!
