Thank you Natasha. Actually I am not a Christian but it had always been fun to get into the festive mood during this time of year. Where you celebrate an occasion is not as important as who you spend it with. Have fun in Malacca with that lucky someone of yours.

Hi Peter,
It must be really tough when your mum has been so much a part of your life. But if there is any reason for joy, it should be that your mum is in a place where every day is Christmas because she is in God’s presence. I have no doubt that you will have a very nice Christmas cos you have good company to spend it with. Cheers!

Hi Carol,
Thank you for the comforting words. It is tough indeed to have to go through this season when the grief is still fresh in my mind. I miss Mum so much.

It is messages like yours that makes it easier, and I am fortunate to have very caring friends who take my welfare into their concern in a time like this.

Everyday I pray that Mum is at peace where she has gone to. And I truly hope everyday is a Christmas for her.

Merry Christmas to you, Carol.

What a beautiful tree We’ve always put one up every year - although we don’t actually celebrate christmas (My family is Baha’i). For some reason, things have been too busy for any of us to think of bringing out the tree - but thanks for reminding me.

I hope you have a wonderful time with your friends. Remembrance of a loved one is all we can do, and sometimes we are left feeling like they really are here with us during those times. MERRY CHISTMAS!

Prema,
Holding on to the memory of our loved ones and praying for them is all we can do, almost. I am sure they would want us to be strong and will always be looking over us from somewhere up there. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
