It’s 2 days before Christmas, yet I don’t have that special feeling of Christmas. It seems that my Christmas mood is influenced a lot by the situation around me. In China, we don’t have holiday on Christmas day and not much Christmas atmosphere as well.
Yes there are Christmas songs played in the mall, and there are employees at those public places who are wearing santa hats. But somehow the feeling is not the same. In Indo, US, and Singapore, I would have seen lots of Christmas movies being played near Christmas day. I would see Christmas lights and festive decorations garnishing Orchard road. I would feel the Christmas spirit ushered in the church weeks before Christmas. I would see lots of Christmas goodies sold everywhere. I would maybe even see some Christmas performances on the street. Maybe the lost feeling is also due to the fact that my loved one is miles away and we cannot celebrate Christmas together. I sooo miss you, dear….
*Sigh*
Well, I should at least be thankful that this year I can celebrate a white Christmas, provided that the snow will be there till Christmas or if it snows again (though I hate the cold!). Having a white Christmas for me is not so common, even in the US, I think I only experienced 1-2 years of white Christmas. And at least this year I also have a small circle of friends to celebrate Christmas with.
And the most important part I guess, is to remember the meaning of Christmas, which is celebrating Jesus. I will try to keep that in mind. Regardless how Christmas-spiritless I am, I should remember how joyful it is to have my Saviour born into this world. I shall take some time on Christmas day to be thankful to Him 
Merry Christmas everyone!
