Donald Duck On Christmas Eve

I don’t want to miss Kalle Anka (Donald Duck) so I thought of preparing everything for the Christmas Eve dinner earlier.  This TV show has been inscribed in my mind that Christmas Eve is nothing without Donald Duck.  Not until two years ago when I realised that watching Donald Duck on Christmas Eve has been a tradition here since it was first showed in 1959.  Who would believe such tradition exists in some parts of the world? And to think that Donald Duck is a show for children.  Weird but when the clock strikes 3pm, the streets are as quiet as the midnight hours when the people are asleep.  But guess what they do.  They sit glued in front of the TV watching Donald Duck, so do hubby and me.

Hubby has grown up with watching Donald Duck on Christmas Eve. To him it’s as normal as having a ham at a Christmas dinner. And many have passed this tradition to their children and grand children so that when some of them are asked what Christmas is all about, the children would reply, it’s about Donald Duck (Kalle Anka), lol!

All I Want For Christmas

I’m done shopping and wrapping gifts, thanks Santa for this.  And of course I do want to receive some gifts, I still have the child in me though.  Nowadays, it’s normal to ask and say what you want for a gift.  It might not be like this in other countries, but this manner can save time and effort.  Although I still prefer a little surprises in some occasions.  Now don’t get me wrong, cos this time I’m gonna voice out what I want and hope hubby can read this (he always peek on this site, anyway), hahaa!  He should have surprised me with that little Asus on my birthday, but he couldn’t find the one he’d been waiting for.  Did I cry? Almost, but the patience in me prevails, hmpp!  But my quest for mini-laptops didn’t stop until I saw this Lenovo Ideapad S10e.

My way of describing it – it’s small, it’s light-weight and it’s red!  There’s black and white, too.

Santa’s On His Way

Santa Claus
Santa Claus of Scandinavia

Have you got your presents yet?  I got mine today on our term’s final day. At last! I’ll be off work till the second week of January.  We finished earlier so I had time to look for gifts. I thought I should hurry now so that I could hand them to Santa who must have started to knock on doors already, lol!  It doesn’t matter if he’s too early, you still have to wait for the Christmas Eve before you unwrap your gifts.

I took a picture of this Santa Claus known as Tomte in Swedish which my boss placed on the platform.  It is how the imaginary Santa Claus looks like in Scandinavian Europe since it’s mythical birth to the modern Santa Claus.  It’s believed to be a small, elderly man with a full beard.  Now don’t get scared if you see a small creature on your doorstep cos it’s Santa Claus.
