Two Sundays ago I went to Flower Street (花墟街) , that’s located in the absolutely crazy, but oh-so-Hong Kong district of Mong Kok (旺角), and came across this shop by the corner selling all sorts of Christmas decorations. One step into the shop and you couldn’t help but be infected by all that Christmas cheer. It felt like Christmas Wonderland, and even the most cynical of souls would have forced out a smile. I was feeling miserable that day because of something, but stepping into that shop and spending an hour and a half in there with my friend, deciding what to decorations to buy, really cheered me up.
So here’s what I’ve done to my little abode with the decorations I bought that day.


My tiny Christmas tree in the corner


My Christmas tree is a rather interesting and beady version of the actual one. I love it. 🙂 It has green, red and silver beads at the end of each ‘branch’ which is bendable.


A snowman on the door knob that only cost me HKD16 which is approximately SGD3. A pretty good and cheap find!


A Christmas garland with fake red berries and small little pine corns (these are real) hangs by the entrance to my room. I had intended to hang it on my front grill but decided it added more cheer inside the flat where I could see it.
So even though I don’t celebrate Christmas in a religious sense, I’m pretty happy with the little Christmas cheer I’ve brought into my tiny abode!
