When you visit Singapore and go down to Orchard Road specifically, you may be mistaken to think that Christmas in Singapore is all about lights, people and shopping. You will be dazzled by those lights which were put up one week before Christmas. Frenzy buying starts and continued till the eve of Christmas. Hordes of shoppers and non-shoppers thronged the streets and shopping centres and one will not fail to feel the spirit of holiday.
However, is this what Christmas is all about? One should not forget that this day is a day of celebration as Jesus is born and thus is a significant day for all of us believers. The lights and shopping and gifts are all external trivials.
