Any plans to travel? Party?

Me, I would love to see that this year's theme is going to be. If anyone is kind enough to take shots of Orchard Road this year, please share?

We are trying to save enough money to go skiing this December. It'll be the first time for the kids. Our first attempt was sabotaged by a snow storm. We're all so excited! Now if my boss would be kind enough to give me 3 days off.....

wow. how good it is to be satisfied with what you have, but usually my greed gets the better of me.

No travel plans here.

Except for several trips to the local Wal*Mart on the 26th to stock up on the half-price tins of Kjeldsen's Danish Butter Cookies... Embarassed

it's Christmas time
there's no need to be afraid
at Christmas time
we let in light and we banish shade
but in our world of plenty
we can spread a smile of joy
put your arms around the world
it's Christmas time

but say a prayer
a prayer for the other ones
at Christmas time
it's hard but when you're having fun
there's a world outside your window
and it's a world of dread and fear
where the only water flowing is
the bitter sea of tears
and the Christmas bells that ring there
are the clanging chimes of doom
well tonight thank God it's them
instead of you...

and there won't be snow in Africa
this Christmas time
the greatest gift they'll get this year
is life
where nothing ever grows
no rain or river flows
do they know it's Christmastime at all?

here's to you
raise a glass for everyone
here't to them
underneath that burning sun
do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the World
Let them know it's Christmastime

I have to work too. Retails stinks. BTW, did I tell you? I'm trying to apply for the same position at my local Home Depot. Sian of the Sears 100% commission system. Tired of co-workers taking my customers when I'm not at work. At Home Depot, since it's not commission-based, you have to negotiate your hourly from the start.

somehow, hisk manages to turn even Christmas into something.. uhh.. almost unpalatable Neutral

but this is probably one of the things i love about Christmas.. it says everything Very Happy

it came upon a midnight clear
that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth
to touch their harps of gold
peace on the earth, goodwill to men
from heaven's all gracious King
the world in solemn stillness lay
to hear the angels sing

Smile
