Getting Ready for Christmas

Decor hung over the street

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas🎅 here in Singapore. Soap sud snow⛄ is flying and tinsel is in abundance. Even though only 19% of Singaporeans practice Christianity, the Christmas Holiday is still a big commercial deal here.  Bustling shoppers throng (and I mean throng) the shops and malls looking for that perfect gift. The stores are all decorated with Christmas cheer and wherever you go you can hear the sounds of carols playing on public speakers--even out on the sidewalks!

There are bright, sparkling, twinkling lights everywhere.

A forest of twinkling lighted, star topped trees

Each large brightly decorated Christmas tree is trying to outshine the others in style and colors.

I know I can't take a ride in this sleigh just yet … gotta get my steps in first --you know!
Meanwhile the baby polar bear, who looks exhausted, is getting a much appreciated ride from a helpful reindeer.

Planting a big smooch on Rudolf's red nose.

Even the "super trees" at Gardens by the Bay are lit up festively!

Don't think that this would fit into my suitcase for the trip back to the U.S.

NOPE, no cake or pastry for me!!  Although I would like a refreshing ice kachang or chendal! (like a snow cone) because it is still HOT & HUMID here!

We are wishing you and yours a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!! from Singapore
