It'll be Christmas Eve today. Happiest Christmas to everyone!
Being in Taiwan makes me nostalgic for when the shops were decorated with ribbons and bows and all December was a countdown to the night of "Santa Clause" (a dubious character at best, but let that slide for now).
Still, the true meaning of Christmas needs no decoration and is with us wherever we go. It warms the heart, and maybe being in a place where my favourite holiday is a foreign import makes the Christmas message strangely more accessible, more prominent.
At least there isn't any eco-unfriendly wrapping paper getting in the way.
It's lovely Christmas Island for us.
