Christmas is Nearby

As Christmas is approaching, many are busy planning their events.

The most common practice is the well-known Christmas fine dining. Most couples succumb to the outrageous price offered by these restaurants due to the special occasion. Those who refuse to surrender have their simple dinner done at home, either homemade or takeaway. Knowing how hectic the world is now, and given the practicality and variety in options of takeaway items, the latter is more of a feasible option.

Travel industry, too, participates in making the season merrier. A getaway package is an attractive alternative to traditional Christmas fine dining. Popular destination includes Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Harbin, Europe etc.

Those who are single would probably head out to community event, club party, or gatherings. Whatever the plan is, the basic idea is to be OUT –dining, partying, matchmaking, traveling etc– and NOT to be IN –worst, ALONE– during this special event.

This makes me wonder, what’s with Christmas and all these events? Why do we feel a MUST in creating a wonderful Christmas? What’s the impact of spending Christmas at home, with no fine dining, no romantic getaway, and just take it as a regular day?

After all, Christmas is just another day right? *wink
