Tis the season to be fancy

Hello my love,

And the Christmas season is here, malls and Orchard Road are decked in glitz and glamor. No such thing as a simple Christmas, oh no, the glitzier, the better.

I gotta say, Orchard Road, the deep pink, shiny wind chime looking things that hang off each Christmas tree wire formation that line the road, twinkling in the light as the wind blows at them, along with the silver....Wait a minute, is this Christmas or Deepavali decor? (

Metro at City Square Mall has several Christmas tree displays, lavishly decorated according to different themes. And how is it that the trees have not fallen under the weight of the over the top decorations? There's always tasteful and the other extreme, gaudy.

The trees are covered with ornaments and streamers, pretty large ornaments, glittery balls and masquerade masks just to name a few. The first thought that struck me was - Oh My God. Simple as that. Who puts masquerade masks and feathers atop a Christmas tree?

Oh puhlease, I'm no prude. But feathers, masquerade masks, big bells, streamers, glass balls - All on the same tree at the same time. There are just no words....

Happy Holidays my darlings, don't forget the glitter nail polish. ;)
