The annual light up at Orchard Road

People in festive mood gathering here by the lorry loads

The Christmas lights that sparkle at night

Here the city comes alive and it’s such a beautiful sight





Christians who congregate in churches to attend midnight mass

Start of the Christmas celebrations that for 12 days, will last

We hear Christmas carols being sung in many places

We see goodwill being spread amongst the different races





Children all excited decorating the Christmas tree

The smiles on their pretty faces are a sheer delight to see

"Santa Claus is coming tonight!" all would say

For surely the gifts St Nick brings will make their day





As in many cities, the Christmas feast in Singapore is an annual tradition

Here family and friends tuck in on meals that are prepared from mummy’s kitchen

Providing for the poor, sickly and less fortunate people in Singapore, is an annual affair

During Christmas, volunteers raise funds for them because they care and share

For the true meaning of Christmas is to give with our hearts

This for many will for the New Year, be a good start

Sincerely,



Raymond Anthony Fernando
