Merry Christmas from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia!
We celebrate Christmas here in SE Asia and we do it right.
No one has ever heard of happy holidays here.
As of December 1st, all of the Christmas decorations came out in the Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu businesses in my neighborhood. One day it was November and the next day it was Christmas! Boom! Only 10% of us here in this country are Christian, but so what!
I was in Thailand last year at this time it was just the same. Christmas is like I remember from the 1960’s and everyone was thrilled to see my white (not Caucasian) face so they can wish me a Merry Christmas.
Last week in the mall, I waited to use the bathroom stall in the ladies room while listening to a traditional arrangement of Joy to the World like you would here at a Christmas Concert. The place was packed and I was surrounded by Muslim ladies with veils and headscarves and their kids.
I had a big smile on my face in awe to hear such music in a public place. One lady smiled back at me looking a little a little puzzled that I would be so happy waiting to pee. I pointed up to the speaker and said “Music” and she said “It’s Christmas” and every body smiled.
Joy to the World indeed!
