I had my best Christmas ever. 
My nephew’s home from Melbourne so I asked if he would come with me to take mother out for a couple of hours and he said yes. So we borrowed a wheelchair from GT Heritage and took mother to Ikano and The Curve.
We shared a hot chocolate and chocolate cinnamon roll at Starbucks. LOL …
There was a clown on stilts at The Curve who saw us from a distance and walked over to wish mother a Merry Christmas. He made her a balloon flower, all the while chatting with her. A family came along and he told the kids they would have to wait their turn as his priority was this por por (Cantonese for grandmother). Nice clown.
Took her back to my sister’s where she had lunch and then I sent her back to the home. Ethan and Val visited (just to meet mother) and before they left, they prayed for her.
I spent the rest of the day with her till after dinner.
My best Christmas ever.

No, Tai, this is NOT the way to get out of the tub!

… and I have little presents for the people who mean the most in my life. *points to category above*
Yes, they’re really little presents, but it’s the thought that counts, not the size or the price tag.
And since it’s Christmas Eve, here’s my little Christmas greeter bearing my best wishes for a blessed Christmas and bountiful New Year to all of you …
Yup, our very own panda Santa.

When Tai first learned to walk and climb the little rock structures in his “home” , he didn’t know how to get down once he got up one of those rocks. I have a video showing his first “descent” (courtesy of lakhun). After looking at the ground and trying to get down this way or that, he decided to jump … and landed on his face.
Just now, I saw him on the pandacam. He was on a higher rock and the descent down to the next one was steep. But instead of jumping (I’m sure he learned his lesson by now), he flattened himself close to the surface and put a paw down to the next level. Slowly, he moved his whole (fat) body down, but then he seemed to have trouble bringing down the last paw left on the higher ledge. After a bit, he turned and climbed back up. He next went to another face of the ledge and climbed down where it was less steep than the earlier one.
Smart panda!
