I like to collect Christmas cards and  as I look back I am happy that I did that, because now the trend of sending Christmas card is no more popular and in time to come we might not even know how a Christmas card looks like. I also like to buy Christmas card when I travelled, this pack of ten cards was purchased at one of the stores in Edinburgh. It is entitled Christmas With Dickens. It has that classic feels and it's my favourite.

A Christmas Poinsettia, this plant always reminds me that the holiday season is near. My family plant a lot of it and I grew up knowing it as a Christmas Plant. I like its jagged red bright leaves. Some people grow it as an indoor potted plant but in this part of the world where I lived it is sunny all year round so we grow Poinsettia out door. There are artificial Poinsettia flower too and it is just as attractive as the real plant.

My favourite corner at our family home is this wooden chair hand made by my dad. He was a trained Hospital Nurse during the British colonial time but I noted that he has got a capentry certificate too. During his life time, he like to built Garden hut, table, chairs and cabinet. My mom always complained that there were no place left to store all the handy work he has created but then we were never short of cabinet and table, that was the beauty of it. When Christmas time comes around I always like to look at this nostalgic corner and think of dad.
