Merry Christmas !
This is my first post when it comes to Christmas . And I call this , the " Christmas Edition Special " !
Yes . It's that time of year , where everyone comes together for the holidays . The time where we gather round a warm fireplace and a beautifully decorated christmas tree .
I doubt there's a fireplace in the residences of Subang Jaya . But , I think there's definitely those hardcore Christmas fans that will not only put up a decorated tree , but also a dummy of Saint Nick himself right in the center of the living room .
There's the Christmas turkey , Christmas socks hung above the fireplace , Christmas lights and eggnogs for all ages regardless its ingredients .
Stereos and CD players are put to the test as they play Christmas songs from the same CD over , and over again for the whole day .
Not to mention , the garden outside covered by a bed of snow with children playing snowball fights to as well as making giant snowmans .
Unfortunately , in Malaysia , that's rarely the case .
Nevertheless , I'm pretty sure that we Malaysians have our own special way of celebrating Christmas , Malaysian style , that makes our rendtition of Christmas that much more meaningful.
What about my family's Christmas activity ?
Well ...

For Christmas !
Today , I woke up with a fair and cloudy sky which means there is no blazing sunlight at all to ruin what's suppose to be a cool and cold day ( in Europe , it is ) .
Anyways , after treating myself to some of my mother's homemade Christmas pies , I played MapleStory for a few hours and later went to The Curve with my family .
As usual , like any other shopping mall the place was brightly lit up with decorations and Christmas lights galore!
The beauty of the mall can only be defined with the word " splendid " and " amazing " . No other words seem to fit the bill .
We walked , and walked till our feets could not . But , nothing could dampen the spirit of our Christmas shopping and so , we walked on and on visiting not only The Curve , but Ikano Power Centre as well .
When we first arrived , we had A&W as a light snack ( a meal totalling up to RM 40 is not really that light anymore ) . After that we dropped by at Harvey Norman to view furnitures and electronics of all kind . There really was a whole lotta' furniture there as we sat on almost every chair and sofa there is .
I even managed to find the ' Reclining Section ' where there are various recliners on sale . Of course , if you watched an episode or two of " Friends " , you will learn that recliners are quite famous in that show but , let's not go there . Shall we not ?
After that , had dinner at the Chicken Rice Shop . And my God .. the amount of food we ordered was simply attrocious .
I mean , seriously . We had like 5 plates of roasted chicken and a few plates of bean sprouts to go with it .
And we ate , and ate till' there was nothing left to salvage .
You know , I used to think that the Chicken Rice Shop was a non-halal restaurant , which turns out is not . Ah , how disappointed I was ..
Right after spending an hour or so continuing our shopping desires , we decided it's best to head back home to execute one of the oldest and most noble Christmas traditions available in my family .
and greetings to all a jolly
Merry Christmas ,

Hot chocolate while watching
Christmas movies .
Signing off with loveChristmas movies .
Unfortunately , we were out of hot chocolate so .. Milo will do the trick . Besides ,
There were homemade chocolate cookies too which means , an extra Christmas delight !
But I decided to skip the cookies for two reasons .
1 ) I wanted to keep my dear blog readers updated on my Christmas day !
2 ) There's still tonnes of chicken rice left in my stomach .
Overall , it was a great Christmas day . Full of joy and laughter . One would hope my life will continue this way for as long as I breathe .
Now you see ?
I did not eat turkey or drink eggnogs .
Did not have an oversized tree or a fancy fireplace to warm our buttocks at . But still ,
My family and I were able to make Christmas Day even more meaningfull just by laughing ( a lot ) and spending time together .
And if you ask me , I think that's what Christmas is all about .
