I’m Buddhist as well as another 95% of Thai people so Christmas is kinda nothing to us. However, if you have ever visited Thailand especially Bangkok during Christmas or the New Year, you might think I’m a liar as faked Christmas trees are widely seen around. What missing there are a family party, a turkey and other real Christmas ambiance.

I’ve never experienced Christmas, thus I have no idea what REAL Christmas is like. As I’ve seen in many movies, I can imagine when Christmas comes, people will be very joyful with a great party in a house decorated with lights and a lush Christmas tree along with loads of presents under it. I always believe that Christmas is not perfect without snow as the snow makes Christmas a romantic and magnificent night.

The Thai are not excited with Christmas presents preparation as the influence of Christmas has not been rooted that much yet. What impress us during the festival are lightings and large Christmas trees adorned with some lovely gadgets. Most of the trees are not green as they are usually made from other materials like plastic but still created in a tree shape. Some are gold, silver, white, violet, pink and so on. Although they don’t look so real, their elegant looks really stun us.

Anyway, does Santa Claus really exist in the North Pole? Is it possible to send him a mail?
