It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...as the song goes

The place to be at during the Christmas season is Orchard Road, where it is decked out in decorations that bring out the mood of this occasion. Of course, the area around City Hall station is also decorated but the decor is simpler, with red balls intertwined amongst the lights.

I went down last week to have a closer look at the decorations that have been raved about by my friends and in the media. I like the Enchanted Forest theme thought of by Dick Lee, especially the coloured jewels hanging amidst the trees. Somehow, the theme brings back memories of having read magical tales weaved by Enid Blyton.

I fell in love with the 4 lighted trees situated at the junction where Hereen is. They are in colours of red, blue, green and yellow. They are really made up of fountains and coloured lights. They were beautiful and magical, a gaping sight to behold.

Those who have not gone down to take a look at Orchard Road, please do. It is worth doing it.

It's also exciting to look at the Christmas goodies sold. Cold Storage and Marks' and Spencer are my favourite places to go to. There are stollens, puddings, chocolates in Christmas-y packagings and Christmas cakes to name a few.
