but being a predominantly Muslim country, there aren't many pre-Christmas traditions/happenings that are observed. Sure, there is the departmental store sales, the lighted streets and commercials on TV as well as Christmas songs on radio stations, but that's almost about it.
That's why it's so thrilling to be somewhere where the whole Christmas experience is maximized. Granted, some of it is the result of a lot of commercialism and economics, but still, there is no missing the Spirit in the air..
Today, we joined Cindy at Church for Breakfast with Santa, and I had my picture taken for the very first time with the Jolly Man in Red himself ( but as Elizabeth, our 5 year old niece whispered to me, "Well, you know he isn't REALLY Santa"), had pancakes and sausages and decorated Gingerbreadman cookies..
Unfortunately, my cookie fell on the ground and poor Gingerbread Guy broke his left arm..
Watch this space for some Christmas Parade Pictures soon!

Anyway, we have lots of pre-Hari-Raya celebrations here.

Ahhh the poor Gingerman. The humanity !!!!
Wait, it's a cookie? Nevermind.
Hmm send some of the Christmas spirit this way Letti. I seem to be bogged down with trying to find gifts, crowded shops, being torn between family who want me for christmas and the like. Kind of takes the edge of Christmas.
Thanks for helping me get in the Christmas Spirit. I needed that.
