Christmas Eve
When you get older, Christmas lost most of its meaning. All I want is some soothing music by my ears. Nice slow Christmas songs : Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra and Marvin Gaye. Christmas Eve is no different from any day. The house is still 3 rooms. The 2 bed rooms and the living room. The doors of the 2 bedrooms shut. Everyone asleep by 11 p.m.
Christmas Eve night was cold and i made it cooler by directing the fan towards me. The cooler the surroundings, the warmer your heart gets. No christmas tree for almost 10 years. The tiles are white though so that could be snow. And so Christmas is up to your imagination. Imagining things and remembering things that will evoke a little smile. A nice, sweet and warm feeling.
So I seek warmth in my little bed. Cover myself in sheets like I always do. Think about something sweet and wonderful. You need to start imagining like John Lennon. Things will look more beautiful. But when things are too beautiful, a poignant reminder of the not-so-beautiful things in the world surface.
So the music must carry on. Nice soft beats, a melodious voice, a catchy tune that warms ur heart to forget all the unpleasant things in the world. Then you immerse yourself in the story you created for yourself and never wake up from it.

Hopefully you had a good day. Mine was overflowing with cynicism. But anyway, the main point of my comment was: Your picture very "十一月的蕭邦" leh.
