No Gift Giving This Christmas
AJ Jorge December 6th, 2007
I just realized one good thing with living far away from friends is that you are not compelled to buy Christmas gifts for them.
Eversince college, me and Pen would trek to Greenhills, SM North or SM Megamall to buy gifts for loved ones and close friends. Pen would have a small notebook full of names with gifts for each. It would take us weeks to complete this task. From listing the lucky names, matching the gifts for them, braving the traffic and the crowd, buying the gifts and down to wrapping and giving them the gifts.
None of that will happen this year. Even with my new found friends here in Singapore, I’ll pass. We’d just celebrate Christmas quietly in Sydney. The only thing that occupies Pen’s list is the menu we’ll be having on Noche Buena.
