-Christmas Day 0-

Last minute rush to get some Christmas presents in order! Gosh, had to rush to Tekka Mall. LOL. Had dinner at Julius' place! Fun! I love the gift exchange theme this year! Anyway, attended Christmas mass at St Anne's this midnight! Nice nice! Love the Christmas songs! Sang a verse of 'O Come All Ye Faithful' in latin (Adeste Fideles). Love it when everyone walks out of church while singing and clapping in tune with Feliz Navidad. FUN!

To think I almost wanted to skip midnight mass cos I was too lazy and wanted to go tomorrow morning instead (which takes a much shorter time period) but figured that I really have a lot of thanksgiving to do this Christmas (starting with the most important - saving someone very close to me from near death; the gift of friendship; examination results...) I've never felt this rich in my life (not in money cents - pun intended)! Here's a sneak peek into St Paul's Cathedral... Hark the Herald Angels Sing.. The final hymn for today's mass at St Anne's!

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?
