This Christmas 2025, I had a busy month at work and taking very little leaves to rest or prepare for Christmas. For Christmas Reflections, songs are still the best way to be instantly teleported into the depth of Christmas feelings. This year, the following two songs came out as very special and spoke to my heart and soul in a very deep manner.
SOMEWHERE IN MY MEMORY from Home Alone, the lyrics are very comforting to recall of what Christmas means to our family. Altough we do not give lavishly but gifts exchange is very common. The last of the song is very meaingful :
Precious moments, special people Happy faces, I can see
Somewhere in my memory Holiday joys all around me Living in my memory All of the music, all of the magic All of the family, home here with me
正月十二,our caretaker 邢谷鴻伯爹 invited the dang deng troupe to perform in our Heng's village house. It is equivalent of "caroling", bringing good news of a prosperous year to every households.
