# Preparing for Christmas

We are gearing up for christmas too, and since our flat does not fit a huge christmas tree (and we can't afford one too), we ended up bringing the cute one back from Sainsbury.


As we congregated in my room to set up the tree, we realized this is in fact the first time we all decorated OUR OWN TREE! This is exciting!

We each chose an angel, and named them ourselves. So there is "Belle", "Ariel", etc etc.. from characters of Disney.


Then one of them decided to wrapped himself up with lights, hallucinating that he's the tree. (Somehow reminds me of a Paul Jennings' stories of the Toilet Paper Boy)


Ta-daa! There it stands, next to our router, in a corner in our kitchen. Our baby christmas tree is ready for the celebration!

How sweet! A baby christmas tree is better than no tree!

I have a similar size one in the office and it sits on the reception counter!

We love this baby! It's our 'first-born'! (ahem ahem)

After shopping for the decor n stuffs, we realized how costly a christmas can cost. hehe

Is it a real one.. or one of those re-cycle plastic type.

In Malaysia we try to bring "Christmas" home, bring it into some shopping mall, into our "world".

YD my friend, i think you can just walk out of your apartment and have "Christmas" :)

Merry Chrismas!

haha... robin, it is the nilon fibre one.. cuz we cannot afford a real one either.

I saw in a shop there is this 'christmas tree seed', which we can plant it n grow our own christmas tree (can reach as tall as 25m)

the catch is, there is a small print written at the bottom, 'make sure you live in permanent residence and have patience as tree may take long time to grow to the height.'

dear Low, christmas is in the air! everywhere! we will be doing our last shopping for our christmas dinner today. there will be a dinner at our place. :-)

They say that a Christmas tree grows when you decorate it. I think you just proved it. That is weird! The finished tree in the last picture looks a lot larger than it did when work was in progress!

Have you ever seen "A Charlie Brown Christmas"?

YD said...

oh! the little twig for the xmas tree! n it survives!

it's a touchingly sweet cartoon, but i haven't seen it, i just heard of it becuz of the issue about the coca-cola sponsorship, in which the opening and closing credits contain too much references to Coca-Cola. hehe.

thnx for sharing, moody!

Bah! Humbug. Live tree - waste of lumber or fire wood. Recycled tree - waste of possible useful item like a park bench. New plastic tree - waste of petro chemical resources.

Along those same lines:

Human being - waste of good carbon.

(Hey...that wasn't my original idea!)

If you want a nice winter solstice decor, bring
in some bamboo - then eat it on New Year's day.

That's Panda style. ;^)
