Christmas Day

Firstly, i would like to festively wish everyone a merry christmas! I hope you are all out there, spending the most joyful time with your family, eating roast chicken (as i prefer to - i don't like turkey), cracking christmas crackers, and playing charades or scrabble.
As only some places in the world are prone to having a white christmas, i know that those that live in the much more warmer regions may think that this will affect their christmassy spirit - especially those who originate from the colder regions, and have migrated to areas where snow is not a possibility. However, as i've stated before, i believe that in order to feel that spirit, you only need the love from your family and maybe a board game to bond over..., but that is all. As to the current economy crisis, debt should not effect your vibe. And how do i know this? Well, as a child, my grandad introduced me to the best possible christmas movie ever - A Christmas Carol. Now, i'm talking about the black and white original one, not the latest jim carrey one, but if you can't get hold of the original, the jim carrey one isn't that bad etiher. And the plot i think, is based during the victoria era.. if i'm not mistaken, where the difference between rich and poor was immense and poverty levels were just absurd... well from what i know of by reading books based during the time, during my english classes (i'm useless with history, seriously). Yet, in a christmas carol, Scrooge's assistant, forgot his name but his sick son is called tiny tim, well, he was quite frankly poor, yet he had the time of his life at christmas, and that was because he was with his family...

Anyway, i will continue later, as i am about to spend my christmas at a mall, in jakarta, with a bunch of muslims.
