17 December 2010
2010 has sped by and the Yuletide is upon us once again. It seems only a short time ago that I was writing to you about Christmas in Spain. This year I am spending Christmas in Singapore and I will be having Christmas dinner at Santa's house. I can imagine a few of you non-believers are saying "Santa lives at the North Pole" or worse, "There is no Santa Claus" so I am attaching photographic evidence that the jolly old soul himself is here in Singapore. His workshop and the elves are at the North Pole but Santa, like me, prefers a tropical climate. Another little known fact is that St. Nick is clean shaven most of the year and begins growing his famous beard in September.
I took some photos of the Christmas lights on Orchard Road with my new camera. As I stood waiting to cross the street I found myself singing along to "Last Christmas I Gave You My Heart" which was booming from loudspeakers along the street. The sensory overload of this shopper's paradise contrasts completely with the serenity of Antequera, Spain. BTW, if you are wondering where I learned the words to the above mentioned pop song by George Michael, it was at a Christmas karaoke party in Yamagata, Japan.
