Christmas Card parade~

So, Christmas had passed and i can finally publish my Christmas cards cos they are all delivered to my beloved friends.(i have to make sure to give them a surprise of my lovely christmas cards XD) I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and had the best time with your friends and family!
Here are the christmas cards I made for my friends and relatives and I wanna share with you.

Inspired my the Christmas carol - Christmas is a time to love which I shared I the last post. the snowy top is actually tacky glue and sprinkled with silver and blue sparkles. I used my silver color ball pen to add a few sketch on the letters and I think that give a little bit of the snowy feeling. <3
P.S. I made another one with the same design but I used purple sparkles and purple paint which I think it also looks cool. But it doesn't have a Christmas feeling as the blue one does.

Papercut snowflakes - silver version =D

Papercut snowflakes - blue version =)

I made this with my little brother. I torn a stripe of golden paper and glue a line of red sparkles beside it. My brother drew the Christmas tree which I think it looks really cool though it is simple. But I always this that simplicity is beautiful and is the best!!

XOXO

Oh hi, Santa Claus!

Santa Claus is the most beautiful lie in the world. I used to believe in him. but I start to question few years ago.

Credit to Pea~ <3 thanks for the pretty picture!

Mum used to tell me Santa will come on 25th of December and he will only deliver presents to good children. He comes with reindeer and a sleigh and wears red suit, black boots and carries a big red bag which fills with presents. i believed her back then. I longed for Santa's present. And i did receive Santa's present every Christmas. Even last year. I got a snow flacks shape earrings which I saw in a small boutique in our neighborhood. I was really surprised. I told my mum that I saw that pair of earrings in that boutique and pretended that I was really surprised and happy.

I remember there was a Christmas Movie called "The Polar Express" on the theater few years ago. This movie is about the group of children went onto a train to the North Pole to find Santa Claus. There was a boy who doesn't believe in Santa but he starts to believe through the journey.At the end of the story, Santa gave a jingle bell to the boy for his Christmas present. There is a magic in the bell: only the people who believe in Santa can hear the bell jingles. I think this movie is so sweet and it is really a great movie for the holiday and it is so suitable to watch it with your 10-year-old-under brothers and sisters. They will love it. And so do I. I really love the story, first of all because I really love the holiday atmosphere, secondly, I am really into fairy tales and fantasy stories. ( I know I am still a kid! XP)

Sometimes I try to compare Santa to God. I think they are similar. Just that Santa is a character but I do believe that God exists. (opps a little bit off topic) I know I am greedy, I pretended to be happy when I got the present from "Santa". You are not suppose to get the present from Santa if you don't believe in him XDD. What I am thinking is that, if Santa is the symbol of love and he himself is lovingly, will he give his present no matter who you are and what you did? This sounds a little bit like Jesus. I really wanna tell my mum that I don't believe in Santa anymore, so please don't prepare a Santa's present for me. But I am afraid that it will affect the faith of my brother in Santa. So I decide to stay silence and see if I can still get an extra present this year.


I know I spoiled a little bit of the holiday atmosphere ...but anyway, Merry Christmas!

Christmas is a time to LOVE

I used to be a member of school choir. I sang the song "Christmas is a time to Love" in last year's Christmas night in school. I really wanna share the music with you <3.




Here's the lyrics<3, enjoy.

Christmas is a time
Christmas is a time
Christmas is a time to love.
Christmas is a time
Christmas is a time
Christmas is a time to love
We often start to worry
And people get upset
If things don't go alright on Christmas day.
What we should remember
In all the push and shove
Is Christmas is a time to love.


Christmas is a time
Christmas is a time to love.
Christmas is a time
Christmas is a time
Christmas is a time to love.


Maybe things don't sound right
Or look the way they should
And maybe they're not perfectly in tune.
It really doesn't matter
Lets keep our eyes above
Cos' Christmas is a time to love.


Christmas is a time
Christmas is a time
Christmas is a time to love.


Let's spread the joy and love to our friends and family in this merry festival.
