I think it was the last Wednesday morning of the previous month, I was going about my work diligently (ahem, am using this term rather loosely… ahem…) when the familiar polyphonic Christmas tunes from the Chrismas tree four-coloured running lights back at the home in hometown suddenly started playing at the back of my mind. I was immediately brought back to the night scene of the dimly lit Christmas tree in the living room…

Back home, for the few years before I came to the big city to, uh, work (gave up on most of the rest of the reasons already, sigh…), I assigned myself to the task of decorating the Christmas tree at home, a task which I actually reveled in. *blush*

And on some nights, I would switch off the living room lights, leaving just the Christmas tree running lights on, with the lights’ polyphonic Christmas tunes playing softly while I lay myself on one of the living room sofas, my mind occasionally drifting to that Christmas scene some 2000 years ago where it all began…

Oh, how I miss the tranquility…

Man… Made me miss celebrating Christmas at home even more… T_T

I miss going for Christmas carolling… I miss the annual Christmas procession… I miss the Christmas masses, especially the grand hallelujah song… Oh, the nostalgia…

Everything is so different and strange here in the big city. I don’t think I’ll ever adapt to the way things are organized here… I really do feel so out of place, most of the time…

Perhaps I should make it a point to go back for Christmas every year too…

Or just go back for real.
