Last Christmas

Nope, this ain't about Wham's "tacky" (according to my gal pal Renata) Christmas song. But this year marks my last Christmas in this country, at least for this tenure.

And, yeah, another non white Christmas.

But Christmas is not time for self-pity. It's not time to whine.

Neither it is merely about gifts and parties (though I wouldn't mind them. Anyone inviting me?;))

It's about joy (not in materialistic term), and love, and the celebration of humanity. It's about giving thanks for the life granted to us. It's about giving back the Love that has created us.







As I mentioned earlier, Christmas is the time of giving. So maybe it's about time Santa's (hm, judging by the look, I suspect it's Zwaarte Piet posing as Santa Claus!) clients be the giver and do a favor for Santa -- spare him a dime, for instance ;).

Merry Christmas everyone! You may or may not celebrate it, but I wish you all - regardless your background - a joyous time!
