-Christmas-

Christmas. A time of love, joy and peace. A time when you remember your loved ones. A time of remembering why Jesus died for us.

Every year, Christmas is one mad whirl for me. Why? Usually I have to juggle serving for the church's Christmas services as well as find time to have a family dinner. It's weird but even though my mum isn't a Christian, she insists on the whole family coming together to have a Christmas dinner.

Herein begins the tricky part. How in the world am I to squeeze out a day for dinner when at the moment I have totally no idea what day and time support is?? To complicate matters furthur, I have a chalet with my GB girls this year. Haha..

However I have always loved Christmas. The refrain of the Christmas carols as one throngs the malls in search of that elusive present always cheers me up. Even now I can still remember coming together with the girls (literally!!) to do Christmas presents for my section last year. The sweater that I laboured over and which could be very well languishing in someone's cupboard now. The cookies I baked 2 Christmases ago for the entire section...I honestly have no wish to re-live that!

It might be early but I've decided to start early this year and start writing down my list of recipents. It is a pure frenzy if I leave my Christmas shopping till the last minute again this year. So my dear friends, I'll be shopping for your presents soon. And you will also get a handmade card! If I succeed in learning the art of card marking! =)
