Christmas around Singapore 2009


We took the boys out on a Sunday night in December. The forecast was snow. ;-) Our first stop was the Singapore Botanic Gardens where lighted and decorated trees from different institutions dot the walkways. Unfortunately, we had a cranky kid and didn't make it until sunset to see them lighted. Instead, we headed to the American Club for dinner.

After dinner we decided to make a stop for some snow fun:




Here it is! Every night- and I mean every night - Tanglin Mall on Orchard Road has a blizzard for 15 minutes. It's a ton of fun for the kids. Our kids were surprised.





Good times. I so hope they remember things like that.

Today, I took the boys out to lunch and a stroll on Orchard. Here are some of this year's decorations:


A lovely green green with red hearts:




But mostly Blue. We'll have a blue Christmas in Singapore:

At least the Hitler people are gone:




This is the new Ion mall with a large tree out front:

Merry Christmas!
