Christmas is at our doorsteps once again. After 265 days, it is back again. The hours we spent to prepare for any event on the actual day and the time shopping for gifts. It is a hectic period for almost everyone, with all the Christmas parties lined up and gathering everywhere.

But I feel that Christmas has lost its true meaning. The day where our saviour Jesus Christ was born and his heavy burden that he carried on him. But everyone had already forgotten about him and substituted him with another character that is more popular than Jesus. I guess Santa Claus has already appeared in our mind. Don't worry, I am not here to preach. My point to make is that we have all forgotten the true meaning, even Christians alike.

This year, I am quite reluctant to celebrate Christmas. In fact, I am working on the eve of Christmas. So I guess I won't need to spent money on buying presents for people this year, because I won't be seeing them. Anyway, it is not about gift and all. I detest the idea of Christians exchanging gifts in church on this day as well. They can spent the time buying gifts but not the time inviting someone.

I am going to have a sad Christmas this year. Having to work even on the eve of Christmas is unsound. But I rather go for work then to go into church and see all the Christians eagerly exchanging gifts and talking about where to go after that. It is just so ridiculously insulting.

Anyway, it is coming to the end of the year. Another year have past and we are getting a year older. Time for a new set of realistic resolutions again. Things are no more what it used to be.

But all this being said, I would still like to spent this festive occassion with some close friends. I would like to end the year with the person I started the year with. I want spent the christmas with all those who impacted my life and a nice turkey(which I have no idea why turkey instead of chicken). Wishes wishes. Wonder when will they come true...
