It's coming to the end of the year again with lots of celebrations going on. People celebrating Christmas, New Year's Day, Lunar New Year, following closely with Valentine's Day et cetera. For me, I prefer celebrating Christmas to any other festival. I enjoy doing the plannings and making the effort for surprises, to make somebody else's day special and memorable. Usually.. My surprises comes in forms of gifts.

| Christmas 2015 |
In 2015, my mum kept complaining about her phone (Samsung S3) not working well. So I got her a new smartphone - Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (I'm not a very stingy person, at least not to my family xd). But then to keep it a surprise, I had to buy a non-contract one (It is like way more expensive) which I did in the end anyway. It was like 998 SGD, can't quite remember. And for my dad, he likes to use Nokia brick phones and refuse to 'upgrade' for some reason (Old people's thingy) but I thought I will just get him a smartphone too. I got him the Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace at 198 SGD only I think. The phone is easy to use and most importantly the screen is big enough. As for my sister, I got her the large duck (She named it 黄黄 LOL) at like 20 SGD cause it was on sale. She had been like "THAT DUCK IS SO CUTE" whenever we pass by Kiddy Palace or see little kids dragging their smaller duckies in the malls so I got her the large one as a surprise and hid it in the box (She thought she wasn't getting anything since I've already spent a lot on my parent's gifts).
That Christmas is probably the most memorable one because they were all really surprised and none of them would have ever expected me to get smartphones as Christmas presents. Reason being, I'm not loaded and was 'only' 19 years old, and that we are not even Christians in the first place so celebrating Christmas should really just be simple giftings. But still, my family and I spent about 1800 SGD that Christmas (Mum got us Guy Laroche wallets ^^ ).
Oh and if you realise the super cute mini Christmas tree drawing (LOL), I pasted it there so that we can put the gifts on the floor since there is no way I'm going to buy a Christmas tree to put there once a year.

| Christmas present for my sister |
The pictures say it all. This year I got my sister a MacBook Pro for Christmas. She had never dreamt that I would get her a MacBook Pro so just imagine how blank she looks like when she opens her gift (LOL). Few days before Christmas we went shopping for my parent's gifts and she was all like "WHY ARE YOU SO STINGY JUST BUY ME A WATCH IT'S ONLY $300+??" as I had no intention of buying anything for her on that day. I have actually bought her a few watches this year, so she kept grumbling about how I just refuse to get her another Fossil watch or the Adidas NMD Shoes for Christmas. At a point of time I almost told her that I do love her and have actually gotten her a MacBook Pro because I felt really bad that I wasn't going to buy that watch in the showcase which I would if it weren't already 'too much'. Well aside from love, reason why I've decided to get her the MacBook Pro is because she did really well for her exam (Proud sister here).
As for my parents, we got 2 shirts for dad and 2 belts for mum and all the gifts I got were tops (I actually like them alot). My sister got me a Reebok top (Prolly the most expensive gift she has ever given me LOL) when I asked for a PJ. By the way something about my family: we really hate getting gifts for each other. We have no idea what to give cause really, we have everything we need already.
So ye this is how I celebrated my Christmas this 2 years. What about you? =D
May the peace and joy that Christmas brings always be with you and your family, Merry Christmas!
