A nice feast with the family and openings of presents.. it really puts a smile on peoples faces doesn't it? :)

The other thing i really want is snow! Christmas wouldn't be complete without it!

Christmas I'll probably be in Ko Lanta snorkelling with Sandee, and New Year's, no definite plan yet, but probably not in BKK. Maybe Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai? Maybe even Angkor Wat :)

I'm just curious... how many Thais on this board do something for xmas (= christmas if you don't know)? I mean, it's not a Buddhist festival LOL, and the only reason it is popular in non-Christian countries is because stores know that by promoting it year after year and getting people to celebrate it, they will make money! Dec. is definitely the top month for the retail business in most western countries. And that is how Mother's Day and Father's Day have become such a big deal at home: intense marketing campaigns every year. I mean, it is a nice idea to honour your parents (and with just one special day, are you allowed to forget them the rest of the time? :P ) but there is no need to go into a shopping frenzy....

In Singapore for example Xmas is crazy along Orchard Road. Singaporeans don't celebrate xmas traditionally, except for the Christians there. But now the shops have whipped up the season into high hype, without there being the traditional values associated to xmas that make xmas more bearable at home: time with family and friends, time to forgive and forget differences over the year, religious time if you are a christian, time to eat too much and drink too much :P, "spirit of xmas" kind of stuff.... In Singapore xmas is a Shopping Holiday... buy people you know gifts... buy them gifts... BUY THEM GIFTS!!!!!! :P But, maybe the people who have begun celebrating it as a response to marketing drives will also start to attach themselves to some of the nicer traditions surrounding xmas like, as I said, a time to spend with friends and family etc. No need for the religious association.
