The Christmas Spirit!

It had been raining for quite a few days. Not the kind of heavy downpour, but rather wet and drizzle and stop and drizzle again and stop again and drizzle again kinda raining days. It made the weather very cooling and warmish all together at the same time. Ironic huh? The rain is making the air very cooling and windy at some times, making me want to curl up in my warm bed with a cuppa tea and of course my laptop and tv remote control, surfing net or watching tv all day long...Of course, that's my own little wish! Reality is that I have 3 monkeys with me all day long and with plenty of housework and cooking to do! Good thing is that exams are over and we are more lax with Hao's homework now and just doing our regular reading. I am also starting to coach Ee on his chinese writing and hope he picks it up over the holidays and get a better headstart in chinese than Hao did when he was younger. We always learn from our mistakes and I didn't have time to pay more attention to Hao's work when I was working back then, so I am trying to make up for that and get Ee to start earlier.

Ee can be considered fully recovered from the accident. His scar is no longer painful and he's behaving like normal. Only paranoid mummy here constantly asking him not to scratch or rub his wound, so afraid that it'll tear. The truth is that it isn't going to tear again and it's not hurting him anymore. We remind ourselves to massage him after every bath and also prevent his scars from getting too dried or too much sun. We can just hope for the best now. So here's how he looks now...

Back to the December rain and Christmas spirit. Have I mentioned that Dec is my favourite month of the year and Christmas is my favourite holiday? Well, that's because Dec is full of rainy and cooling days which make me feel lazy and cold and warmish all together, and Christmas is the holiday season that you can feel the spirit of giving and receiving all around you! Everywhere, everyone is getting presents for their loved ones and it's just so joyous and warm. Of course, there's also plenty of holidays during year end, and a lot of anticipation for the new year, and a lot of shopping for CNY clothes, new school year stuff, bonuses to look forward to (not me anymore), making resolutions for the new year etc. I don't think I need to say any more LOL. It's absolutely my favourite time of the year!!
