After 16 years, this is the first time that I spend Christmas in Singapore. Gone are the cold temperature, white snow and melancholic atmosphere. Wearing shorts on Christmas? How special it is. Economic woes? The crowded in the streets deplete any impression of that. Christmas here means big celebration, equivalent to a new year’s eve party. There are enough decoration lightings in the streets to win over Las Vegas.
It is unimportant if most of the people do not know the meaning of Christmas. (as with Halloween, Deepavalli etc) No problem. If consumerism is the main driving force behind all these, let’s bring it on. We are Asians! We like everything involves shopping and celebration.
