Merry Christmas, my dear friends!!!!
It is christmas time again.... my favourite season of the year..... although this year I am not able to reward myself as much as before (cos no bonus... on no-pay leave... :( )I am feeling extremely blessed and loved.....hee....
A strange phenomenon had happened this year..... I have continuously been receiving gifts of things that I already owned.... some of my poor friends had to exchange my gifts for a new item that is unique to me..... it is also through this strange experience that I realised how blessed I am.... it made me realised that I already own most of the things that I really liked.... also.... it allowed me to realise that how great my friends are..... they actually bothered to spend time thinking about what I would like for chirstmas!!! In a commercialized world like ours, gift-giving had lost much of its meaning for it is just like a meaningless gesture... everyone is in a buying frenzy and gift exchange has became like a part of a social custom that is kept just for conforming to the environment.... I really appreciate the thoughts that all my friends put into the purchase of my gifts.....whether it is a gift that I favour or even whether there is a gift or not is not important as it is really the thought that counts... thank you all my friends for keeping me in your thoughts...... here's to a great 2008 to all of us..... Merry Christmas and keeping you all in my thoughts!!!! :)
