Post Christmas Thoughts

Still in the spirit of Christmas, I'd like to share with you that this is my favourite time of the year, as a small young. Christmas time, of course, kids do get all the goodies like gifts, presents, carols and candies. Laughter is in the time for the whole month of December.

That was when times were pure and innocent. As I grew up, the feeling faded and that yearly family get-together just never get to go on as a tradition. It's a pity. But as I've aged, it seems like it's become more about the commercialism. Gifts this and gifts that.

That's when the fun of giving at Christmas started to leave for me. Not to mention for the next several years out of college I was broke and couldn't meet the expectations of giving to some people.

Thinking back, I could have made gifts with my own hands to give it to some closer buddies or to the college girl I was fond of. Things could be totally different if I had done that.By that it doesn't mean you won't spend any money, but you might spend a lot less and you put your time and heart in it.

On ending, I hope that we can take back Christmas to make it about true giving rather than superficial giving.

I wish you all Happy New Yearin 2010~!
