Christmas Eve

Its Xmas eve... Let's see what happens on this very fortunate day.. fa la la la la la la la laaa...
People are frantically shopping for last minute food and presents
People are frantically cooking for guests/family tomorrow
People are frantically cleaning the house
People are frantically trying to guess what their pressies are
(Hmmm I'm starting to see a trend, and yes, I'm being very cynical about this :P)
But its sooo true!! Look around you... people are going psycho with excitement about the red, green, silver and gold streamers, ribbons and string!
Well, for me... in a few minutes, I'm going to be on a train to work: a 12pm-6pm shift - not too bad I must say, but I still have to get my work name tag replaced :S
Maybe tonight I'll get to talk along the steets and look at the beautiful xmas lights that seem to light up the cold dark nights (haha... like my poetics?)
But more importantly, think of those who aren't as fortunate... those who still have to think about their next meal or why their parents have left or the losses they've had to face thus far
I think that's what keeps us in check; to not complain about the wealth that we enjoy and the nature of 'not having enough'

Well, I have another dilemma for now... I've been invited to 3 (yes THREE!) christmas lunches. hehe.. its only coz I told people we weren't doing anythingon xmas day except sleeping in and having a perfectly normal day :) Which is all true.... coz we celebrate on Boxing day.
Sooo.. let's see.. there's Fran place full of aunties and uncles whom I don't know, there's Jian's place full of his family (relos whom i haven't met) and board games and rumballs... hehe, and there's Adam's bbq at his brother's place. I'll have to sleep on this one and wait till my subconscious mind tells me what I want :D

For now, take care and *HUGS!*
