Another fifteen or so days to Christmas. Have you planned your Christmas celebration? I wish I could. Christmas falls on study week this year round, so I must keep myself busy to get good grades, and in the meantime reminisce about my last Christmas.

Christmas is a holiday where we get to sit together and have a nice meal. Last Christmas my family came down to Malacca to enjoy the sight of lights in Portuguese settlement a fishing settlement of the Portuguese, and to have a seafood dinner there.

If you have been to the place you would know that you can opt to sit by the sea to enjoy the sea breeze, and there is a stall selling freshly barbecued seafood. They have scallops, oysters, and some shellfish whose name I do not know. :) You can even see the horseshoe crabs dancing on the the booth table.

Sometimes, it isn’t just the food, but the great company to dine with, don’t you agree? Nothing beats having a hearty meal with your nearest family members. Ahh, I wonder how will it be, this Christmas. :)
