FMTSO: Christmas

Being a Muslim, I don't celebrate Christmas but it difficult to give this festivities a miss, as we can find Christmas decorations all over the place, especially the shopping center. Yearly, the whole stretch of Orchard Road will be decorated with lights and malls will have their facade gaily decorated with Christmas lights and ornaments. I didn't have a chance to go there during the nights but made 2 trips there in the daytime for some retail therapy .

Santa's waiting in Takashimaya store.

I love this decorations, simple but artistically done with only soft ,cuddly bears.


Something different in front of Paragon Shopping Center,a hot favorite among visitors there.


A traditional Christmas Tree inside Ngee Ann Building.

From 2pm today till the next morning, Orchard Road will be closed to traffic for some Christmas  festivities , which will be packed with people from all walks of live celebrating. I think I rather stay at home to avoid the big crush there.

I would like to wish my friends and visitors from around the world a Happy and Joyous Christmas!

Thank you Jama. I always enjoy your pictures, and you live in a very interesting culture that seems to successfully embrace several major religions.

Do they still have the fake snow? I think it was Tannglin Mall.
