Merry Christmas

Seasons greetings from Singapore!

Last night (Christmas Eve for us) Alan and I walked around and looked at the holiday lights that are up on Orchard Road.  I'm not sure if you recall the craziness that they called decorations last year...click here to check out my post from last Christmas.  I actually like the theme that they had this year.  It is mostly just Christmas trees and sparkly lights.

It seems that Santa may have even stopped by Singapore for me...

I actually couldn't find a way to get inside my present so I left it for everybody else to enjoy since it was so pretty.

It certainly doesn't feel like Christmas here since the temps are in the upper 80s and a nice tropical breeze.  I'm not complaining since I know it is very cold where most of you are and am actually a little jealous that you are or will be seeing snow.  This is the closest I could come to snow...

And to keep with the winter theme we decided on ice cream for dessert...

Gingerbread on the left for me and red velvet cake for Alan on the right.  Mmm...  Think anybody from Singapore actually knows what a real red velvet cake looks and tastes like?

Since it is already Christmas morning here I'll take this opportunity to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas.  I hope you have a relaxing weekend filled with good food, laughter, family and friends.

p.s. If there is snow where you are please go outside and play a little in it for me!
