Christmas love
Christmas songs had been on and on since this morning. I was wondering where it was from, then found it was actually from our top floor. My dad had been listening Christmas songs under sunshine the whole morning. How enjoyable he was! He always loves to listen Christmas songs during this period of the year.
Many shopping plazas are filled with choir singing Christmas carol. Hong Kong is always a place tapped into various culture and festivals. People love staying at home for Christmas in the west, but Asians love celebrating Christmas with families and friends in public place. People here love the crowd rather than being alone. Therefore, expensive Christmas Eve dinner and non stop partying are the major activities all over Asia during Christmas. Christmas decoration light watching and Christmas shopping are the major activities people won’t miss in Hong Kong. I just feel it’s an excuse to treat yourself a nice gift by end of the year.
My parents did take us out for Christmas Eve dinner when we were kids. We were so exciting of choosing restaurants every year. The whole family went to see Christmas lighting in Tsim Sha Tsui right after dinner until mid night. This is what we loved to do. The weather of Hong Kong was much colder 20 years ago. The Christmas atmosphere was much stronger because of the cold. The weather here is getting warmer and warmer every year, so the feeling is no longer the same.
Well, Christmas is another holiday for me to enjoy. I cook, eat, smile, laugh, dream and love……….
