Christmas comes early
Singapore always welcomes the Christmas season with nice decorations everywhere. Well of course, it’s the time of the year when lots of tourists come and visit simply because they want to take part in the whole Christmas celebration (read: shopping) here.
As I walked down Scotts Road today, I noticed the decor on the ceilings. The slogan says,
‘It’s all about ME this season’.
Well, is it? Is that what Christmas is all about? Shopping, gifts, self-indulgence and more of me me and me?
Christmas and all its commercialism has unfortunately gone far from its true meaning. I do still hope though that one day Singapore and the whole world can celebrate, be thankful and remember why it’s called CHRISTmas in the first place.
