Like most other christians who celebrate Christmas, they begin the day at church.
I haven't been there in a long while, to be honest. But it really helps to complete the true spirit of Christmas. Its not just about presents and a make-believe-spare-tired-bearded-man-dressed in red who breaks into your home through the chimney, but the true origins of this heavily commercialised day is the birth of Jesus Christ, Son of God, Emmanuel, Prince of Peace and what have you. I sat humbly at church with my mother, younger brother, sister and Joseph to sing praises to the lord and hear people preach his word through song and sermon. I day-dreamed a lot during the sermon. Heh. But i got the overall message. 
I'm driven to Vivo in the ugly monstrous family goods van to meet Jenn. It took me sometime cos we were playing hide and seek in Daiso. I spotted her mum first before i met up with her. Haha. Then Nicholas, Jon, Jac and Clement catch up with us to watch The Journey to the Centre of the Earth 3D. I refused to watch Yes Man. Refused. The movie was cool with all the in your face 3D pop-ups. The movie itself was reasonably fun to watch. 
With the movie done, mindless window shopping was next on the list. But it didn't take long for boredom to settle in once again. So we decide to go to Raffles Place. City Link mall. But WRONG! City Link mall is at City Hall. Act smart la Jon? Haha. My intention was to go to HMV to check out stuff even if it takes me to drag my friends around. :P Jac and Jenn wanted Santa hats! Haha.
I take the train to my Grands, which pretty much completes the circle to my happy christmas. :)
Dinner is at home with the family, minus older brother. Ordinary dinner. But i managed to force my family to watch the beginning of Speed Racer. :D

Jaclynn! Thanks for the candies mate!
Jennifer! Thank you very much for the Speed Racer DVD!!! :D

Christmas is almost over. But the spirit of giving will linger a little longer.
