christmas

christmas is over in a jiff.

there wasn’t anything exceptional about it, nor was i very happy to be spending the day. in the past, christmas was a special day.. because it will trigger the memories of mine some 13 years ago..

this year, there wasn’t any thoughts about those at all. maybe i have let those memories go. i spent christmas eve feeling a tad loss and distraught. stranded and sandwiched.

i thought about what i really want, but somehow.. i didn’t have a conclusion.

ushered the christmas day in with a midnight movie – I am legend. also went to pay respects to uncle on christmas day because he passed away on this day last year. and that was it.

nothing spectacular, nothing interesting. nothing happy about it.

but, the gifts that i have received have been overwhelming. i remembered i did a mobile post of the presents that was on my desk some days back. here’s a before and after picture of my desk.. on the 19 Dec before i went on leave and on the 27 dec, yesterday when i went back for the presentation.

and here are more presents that i got when i went to my manager’s house for a christmas party..

and here’s a list of the presents that i have received.. am really thankful for all that have thought of me.
