Christmas Eve
A month after Thanksgiving, it's Christmas coming, it seems like a festival which is more important than New Year because a lot of shops are closed on this day for celebration. It's a day to celebrate birth of Christ, but I see more commercial purpose are hidden behind advertisement nowaday.
In Woodburn Company Store, they advertised the last chance sale of the year on Christmas Eve, therefore SL and I took a few hours to Woodburn and did some so-called "last chance" shopping (well, radio boardcasted there will be another after Christmas sale in some places). Anyways, shopping is something that we can do during cold, rainy and short daytime winter.
Especially, SL and I will be backed in two months time, therefore we would spend some times to survey if we missed something out of our shopping list, so that I could "take care" of them.
Christmas Eve, the night before Christmas, another meaningful day in western country, every people would have party, reunion and gathering to spend the cold night together, talking and meeting.
Well, we just didn't have sure energy to organise because both of us are quite busy at work and our apartment is actually in a mess now, therefore SL and I decided to celebrate it just between two of us. Like what we did for thanksgiving, we made it the same for Christmas eve, we had our traditional way to celebrate it. Yeah!!! It's steamboat again, it is the easiest way to prepare and the most delicious way to have food in cold winter.
We chose spicy paste for our soup, it is so hot to taste, but I felt fullness. Compared with last year, we had a good dinner this time, which we didn't need to visit Wendy fastfood for our Christmas eve dining :)
