Festive Spirit

It has been over a decade since I spent Chinese New Years in Hong Kong, and I must say that I really do miss the festive spirit in the air. Being in Canada for such a long time, I had forgotten how exciting it was to celebrate new years. Not only because of the abundance of good yummy food, I also get to see all my relatives and friends on a day-to-day basis during the holidays. Family dinners on new years' eve, 2nd day of new year, 3rd day of new year.. etc. The past few days I have been engrossed in shopping. It's almost an illness that I have now! Everyday I come home with bags after bags of clothing, food, and most importantly electronic gadgets. I suppose this is to make up for not spending any money when away..
