That Elusive Christmasy Feeling

As I was crossing the bridge that linked the carpark to the main building, the wind was gustlier than usual and I can actually hear the wind howl. Coupled with the grey skies and droplet of rain sprayed in, it had indeed felt..that christmas is around the corner.

And the small surprise on the table from a colleauge when I reach office sort of hammered home the fact that christmas is indeed here :)

This was one of the rare years that I didnt manage to go buy pressies....

After a frustrating meeting..

"What day is it today?" colleauge threw the question as he continued typing onto his laptop without lifting his head.

"Eve of Christmas eve.."

"What?? This year really dont have the christmas feel"

Of course..we dont even leave the office for lunch. No way to get bombarded and brainwashed by all the commercialised christmas deco and carols blasting over the PA systems. Maybe tomorrow I bring my christmas CD and blast in the office to inject some christmasy feel. It's good to be brainwashed once in a while to think that humid Singapore can indeed have a "white christmas" and that there will really be a Santa who will give presents instead of shooting arrows which he think its his given right to do so *manic laughter*

okok..despite all the irritants, there may be that little spark of christmas spirit in me yet.

I love this christmas carol! Ok this is not the best clip that showcase how smooth Nat King Cole can be (see how the TV called him "the incomparable Nat King Cole" at the start of the clip?), but I ljust love the B&W that represents an era where I don't need to hear Pussycat Dolls sing about meeting Santa and calling him baby *bleh*

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,

To kids from one to ninety-two,

Although its been said many times, many ways,

A very Merry Christmas to you

Merry Christmas! :))))))
