Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year

Here is wishing all our Christian friends and readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as well.

Its a long weekend.  And for some the holidays extend until January 1st, 2017 - the new year.  So have a good break.

Drive carefully and be safe.

If you are overseas, you can read my complaining Blog for some feeling of homeliness.

On the Peninsula, if you lived around the towns especially on the West Coast or anywhere in Sabah and maybe Sarawak, come Christmas time and we were all extremely familiar with Christmas celebrations.  Even in the 70s and 80s decorated Christmas trees, the Christmas songs and music and Andy Williams Christmas specials (on RTM) were part of the Christmas season. 

I recall when I was living in the US throughout the early 80s,  Christmas actually brought a huge familiarity with home. The music, the songs and the Christmas trees were exactly the same - except some of their Christmas trees were huge. And you could hear Andy Williams singing Merry Christmas at some point. The only difference was the tons and tons of snow piled up outside in the Midwestern winter.

Let us all look forward to another new  year.   Our future will not change unless we ourselves intervene in our future.  So here is wishing all of us taking our future firmly in our own hands.
