Sleigh Ride

Whenever I listen to the radio these days, it's full of christmas tunes, ranging from traditional orchestral and choir setting, to the contemporary N'Sync and Brtiney Spears. They keep on reminding you how Christmas is the time of year for celebration and loving one another. It's definitely the opposite for me for the last 5 years. Celebration? Nah. I remembered that these years I was just siting in front of the desk and doing nothing on Christmas Day. How cheerful can that be?

Christmas just reminds me of the days when I had parties with my cousins and relatives. Here, I just spend this so called wonderful time of year with my family. No parties for me at all. I guess people that I know don't like having parties.

Seasons like these reinforce the idea that human relationships are so fragile. For one minute, two people can be so close with each other. The next minute, they become complete strangers. The only stable relationship in my life right now is probably my mom. Thanks, mom!

I am glad that I can temporarily leave this place and spend the 2002 Christmas in Hong Kong. Enjoy the sleigh ride!
