Christmas Tidings

"Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas."

-Calvin Coolidge

By now, everyone in the office is busy clearing leave and making plans for the holidays. No one is really in the mood for work; students are having term tests and the year is winding down to a slow and steady halt. Even I am anticipating the impending food fest with my friends and am looking forward in doing more explorations in Singapore- visit new places and hang out in my favourite haunts. 

Working on the Christmas skit was a challenge since I have no inspiration whatsoever. Anything that appears on stage on the 25th is all God; I'm not even trying to be modest here. I put it off for days, weeks because I had writer's block. I have no inkling how I could make it work and so I did the next (the only thing, actually) best thing. I waited.

A 5 minute skit may not seem like a big deal but it is to me since I've always (confession time!) had issues with skits from previous years and so I better bring it. Still, I trust that it will go down well because it's simple, straight forward and tongue in cheek. Looking behind the scenes gives me brand new perspective at the huge issues making connections between the sermon and the skit (it's crazy man) and so I purposely address that (kinda) in a round about way. Something like an easter egg for me if you will.
