I was looking for Christmas carols on YouTube and I came across this.
I can't help but to draw a parellel to Christmas in Malaysia. It's scorching sun and without snow, of course! However, in our little world, shaped by Hollywood, Christmas = snow, reindeers pulling sledge carrying big fat man with white beard and overgrown belly which can be shrunk to climb down the chimney!
Living in the States since 2010, I have never celebrated the so called "White Christmas"! Cold Christmas, yes! Snow during Christmas, no. But another thing which wasn't told is that, people here don't great each other with Merry Christmas, but happy holiday! They want to be politically correct! Bah Hambug!
On another experience celebrating Christmas here, we went Christmas caroling last Saturday!
We went knocking door to door at the neighborhood, singing Christmas carols and giving out cookies to people who open their door. It was cold, rainy but FUN! Some great us with joy but there are also a few who shut their door on us and few try to hide too! Maybe, pictures soon!
Anyway, I miss the old jolly Christmas celebration back home, where, the malls are decorated and people are out celebrating and countdown!
