Today was my last day of work of 2012 :) I do feel a little bad leaving when christmas is so close and the shop is in a frenzy. But at this point, I can barely take care of my own affairs. Hong Kong is in two days, Ming and I have very little planned, we are both burned out from work, and we need to tonnes to prepare before we leave. Suddenly, having nine days to sleep, eat, see family, and go to places sounds like exactly what we need.
One of the many chores was christmas shopping, between work, cooking, and cleaning, we scrambled around town to get presents for both sides of the family. Then last night, Ming casually said, "Just so you know, I haven't got you anything for christmas." And I was like, "It's okay, I haven't got you anything either."
I think when you're planning for a second wedding, you're allowed to skip preparing for one christmas :) Last time, we had a small wedding with a lot personalized elements: the ceremony was barely 10 minutes long, the favors were homemade, and the food were sourced locally. This time, we're trying to achieve the same thing... with less time in our hands, and more mandatory traditions... but, trusting me being myself, I will come up with some whacky idea in no time, let's hope my mother approves of them.
