About Me

I have done a lot of things in my life and have also worked in many different jobs to make a living and to experience life. This blog is just some of my musings, sometimes funny, sometimes inspirational, sometimes sad, sometimes angry, sometimes simple but all the time, it's just me.

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

Time to put up the Christmas Tree.

So, had a some friends over and ask each of them to bring one decoration each, so there is now a part of them on the tree.

Angel brought a gold Angel bearing a gift of a wreath, Kupps brought 2 red gold stars, JoJo brought 2 origami socks that she decorated herself and I put up a Merry Christmas sign decoration.

I made eggnog which tasted a little too strong of rum, gluehwein that actually tasted good, some sandwiches, some mashed potatoes, some minced fruit pies.

We also had some cookies.

The evening ended early as Mack's mum just came over out of the blue and she had to go back.

I am glad they showed up though and really appreciate everyone who came and made this special. When wifey comes, she too will add her deco and hope that whoever else comes will also add some of their own personal thing.


Mack and her lil Angel. So cute, both of them.



JoJo and her self made Origami Christmas socks, as bright and beautiful as the person.



Kupps and his gold red star, like a lil boy who got a star from his teacher.



Me with the look the reindeer has when he sees the car headlights approaching.

The tree came with a cheap looking plastic star which JoJo and I managed to remove and replace with this classic wire and bead star.



Al E, my lil boy contributed too, he gladly put up his bone on the tree.


O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
Not only green when summer's here,
But also when 'tis cold and drear.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
How often has the Christmas tree
Afforded me the greatest glee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me.

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
From base to summit, gay and bright,
There's only splendor for the sight.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
Thou bidst us true and faithful be,
And trust in God unchangingly.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!

Take care and be well.

Our boy, AL-E looks so cute...He looks so well behaved (I am sure this shot took a toll on you or whoever the camera person was...knowing AL-E antics of not staying put in a place/belly-dancing all the time..he he he).

The tree looks better with lights on (based SKYPE view this morning). Our tree in Bangsar looks splendid too (with or without light). Took me two days to put up and decorate. Well I am only 5' 4" and the tree is 7' plus plus. Cheers.
