Merry Christmas

I bet you Jimmy also buys apples for his teacher too.

Merry Christmas everyone! Oh how I miss those days when it wasn’t politically incorrect to say that phrase during the holiday season. Saying Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings just isn’t the same. I’m sorry. Just because you don’t believe in the Chinese calender doesn’t mean you can’t say Happy Chinese New Years when that time rolls around.

I wonder if children these days still sing Christmas songs anymore for their school choir in December since most of traditional Christmas songs are about…well Christmas.

One particular food item that always reminds me of Christmas. Shortbread cookies. From Grades 1-4, every year during Christmas time it was time to bake our very own Christmas-related shaped shortbread cookies with our own frosting and sprinkles. Yum.

Despite the immense commercialism that this holiday epitomizes at times, this is indeed still a joyous period of year spent with family and friends. Don’t you forget that because I know I do sometimes. =T

Oh and remember kids, Santa Claus only drinks Coca Cola. Milk and Cookies are optional.

Here’s a little something from Ol’ Blue Eyes for you folks.
