Christmas come and gone.. in an old fashion way

So it's Boxing day today, which is also my niece Jeziel's birthday. Christmas has come and gone just as i expected, in the blink of an eye.. Sigh..

But yesterday was awesome. Though it was a smaller crowd than usual at my grandfather's house, but it's nothing like spending Christmas with family. It brings back nostalgia, and the reasons why we expect and await Christmas every year. Yesterday was laid back and idyllic as usual. We visited a rest house by the beach where an old couple ran. It was simple, beautiful and serene. Gosh.. It makes me want to retire like them when i grow old. We also visited the old bakery which Mersing folks have bought their bread from for decades. Where the bread is still baked by coal, and the quality and price at an unfaltering pleasant satisfaction. Who the hell sells a whole loaf of freshly baked bread at RM1 anymore?? or melting butter cake and super stuffed buns at RM0.60 still? When it comes to the holidays, anything traditional is still the best way to go.

And then the cousins did our regular walk by the beach at Mersing. Well, though the beach was polluted and really, pretty disgusting, it was our thing, and i wouldn't walk at any other beach other than this one...

So christmas came and went, and now another 365 days to wait for it.. Sigh.. Good times always roll...

Merry Christmas everyone..Cheers and lots of love!
