Indeed, the lyricists of 'Sleigh Ride' couldn't have said it better: There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy. Christmas time has always been special to me and even though it's boxing day, I still can hear the bells ringing. Suffice to say, my experiences that led to December 25th have made this Christmas mystical. It started in end October and here it goes..
- Compiling 'Absolut Christmas 08'- The rock style playlist of my top 25 songs
- Listening to 'When a Child is Born' a few hundred times on repeat and singing it while taking showers
- Plucking a twig of Holly for a very special someone
- Watching Santas stream down Park Street in Harley Davidson motorcycles
- Attending a magnifique candlelit Christmas service in Bristol
- Witnessing Park street being dressed in holiday style
- Starbucks Toffee Nut Latte
- Strolling along Oxford Street
- Sporting a red outfit at the Christmas dinner at Arlington Villas
- Hardcore shopping for Christmas presents which involved alternating between Takashimya and Paragon; the piped in carols made the whole experience all the more bearable
- Chilling in the car for 10min carol relief
- Making a pit stop at the 10 dollar coffee shop (Cova) for rest
- Wrapping a present and writing cards with interesting messages
- Enjoying the Christmas cheer at the sheer expense of sleep
- Ice skating just outside the British Natural History Museum
- Sauntering through the streets of Bath
- Capitalizing on the Christmas sales!
- Christmas eve roast with family
- Waking up at 1am and bolting to Luke's stronghold to havoc at the Christmas party
- Had an instrumental role in finishing the keg of beer and playing pool thereafter
- Being a pseudo Zoolander
- Leisurely walking along the Singapore River and enjoying a quiet drink at Fullerton Hotels Post Bar
- Exchanging gifts on the Elgin Bridge
- Offering to help a random couple take a picture
- An insane midnight coffee rendezvous at TCC with patrons irritating us with very bad singing (was worth the laugh though)
- Celebrating the Triumph of Friendship with my fellow amigos
Now that Christmas is over I can't wait for the big time new year celebrations that await us. In the meanwhile, I should do some Boxing Day homework and wrap up my arguments for my essay. Happy Holidays!
