Christmas is once again approaching us, it is arriving in three days’ time; ppl are hurrying to get everything done before the holidays, which we can notice with the crazy traffic everywhere these days.
Come to think of it, it has been quite a few years since i last deliberately prepared presents for all my friends. As we age and grow older, we gradually forget all the festive rituals…at most it would be only at parties that we would hv the time to prepare one present for the exchange game. Seems like life and work has sucked away the time and energy needed to show our love for our family n friends.
At the beginning of this month, i stole a few days of holiday, n got the chance to get some small gifts for many of my friends. The presents somehow meant that i was thinking about them at various moments, and that is really what counts.
How about you all? How long has it been since u last bought christmas presents for ur friends? Well it is never too late…maybe we could try this: think of one person who is dear to you, then think of a small simple gift that u can get easily for this person, (could be a card, an orange, a book, whatever small thing that you could easily get but could show ur thoughts) and deliver it to him/her on christmas day.
Simple enough? Let’s do it!
P.s. I would be happy enough if someone bought me the freshly made 冰糖葫蘆, hehe!!!
yes. you are right.
sometimes we forget the true meaning of festivals…
If I have time, I like to D.I.Y. or write a few words (by pen but not typing)
heehee^^
Merry Christmas!~
haha…how come you type Eng then I reply in Eng???
Goo, 其實你最想收到什麽禮物?
我鐘意士多啤利冰糖葫蘆多d
無咁咁酸:P
I’m surprised you didn’t try to see your CD / DVD here ^^
I live overseas where Xmas is huge so we do tend to buy gifts for each other within the family. Right now I’m still pondering what to get for my mother in law… An eccentric old lady who lives with her cat… time’s running out and I must get her something before all the shops close the 25th ….
goo 真係成為免費代言人 啦 :p
北京的菇徒,去看舞臺劇時,都擧著冰糖葫蘆進場啊,哈哈
我最愛吃車厘茄的冰糖葫蘆!不知你有否吃過呢?(山葯的也不錯~ XD)
冰糖和車厘茄汁混合在一起真的很美味呀~ 說起來很想現在就吃到呀~
XDD
I baked the ‘so-called’ cookies (the package with all the ingredients needed) for some of my fds 🙂
though i’m lazy to really handmade them, i guess it’s the energy and love count 🙂
i enjoy seeing my fds opening the gifts, that’s so sweet and make me happy 🙂
i used to spend a lot of time on writing cards, yet i have given up this ‘habit’ since i went to college, plus i seldom receive any cards!! so i dun have the ‘time’ and motivation..sigh…
kee* but may be all the words hv already shown by actions, we need not to wait for any special festival to show our love to fds~ Action counts more! 🙂
買禮物俾人真係幾開心架~
最好就係送實用既野~如果唔係幫佢地捐錢都幾有意思~
寫卡就可以講d平時唔會講既野. 不過都真係好耐冇寫喇
如果我係北京~我會買俾你架~~哈哈~
good show呀~~
merry xmas! 🙂
買了也送了! 看到他們臉上驚喜又開心的表情 自己心裡滿滿的。(比收還開心)
(X’MAS PLAN IN TWITTER)
GOO GOO GOO
我平時見面都會送D小禮物 因為已經好少見到面大家太忙
呢個CHRISTMAS又會有機會聚埋~我已經買左野俾我D朋友喇!
因為無論送定收O個個都好開心
我都有樣野想送俾你架! 不過都唔知點先俾到你!
就係一個PLAYMOBIL CALENDAR!
我係一個UK書網見到架個CALENDAR!
唔知你會唔會有興趣呢或者已經買左呢
不過點都好我都想推介呢個買書網俾你~
http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/
佢係一個UK網 FREE SHIPPING!
SHIPPING時間就大約一星期 我訂左幾次都係一星期內到
依家POUNDS跌左
有時佢D PRICING真係好平 個別ITEM會有DISCOUNT
到大時大節開學聖誕又會有PROMOTION俾SUBSCRIBER一個九折!
所以有時真係可以好平!
一本MOLESKINE POCKET都係60-70HKD
但係有時佢D 價會無啦啦貴返
不過如果係佢ADJUST個PRICE之前放左入BASKET呢就唔會有影響
如果你有心機同時間 仲可以睇埋EURO, CAD, USD 個PRICE邊個平D 哈哈
試過EURO個PRICE仲平過GBP! 又可以平一截!
我平時係呢個網買TEXTBOOK架! 可以SAVE到100-200HKD!
可能TEXTBOOK又唔同其他消閒書啦 消閑書又未必平到咁多
不過都希望個網你會O岩用啦 AMAZON計埋SHIPPING真係好貴我覺得!
佢仲有一樣野叫affiliate scheme
好似有得俾你放ADVERTISEMENT LINK過去!
如果有人買書就有COMMISSION咁
但我冇認真睇佢講乜 唔知可唔可以再幫你個BLOG増加收入呢?

講左好多野添…..
最重要係GOO SHOW! 加油呀! 係北京過一個開心聖誕!
I love 冰糖葫蘆!!! When I was in Beijing for 5 days, I had to have at least one everyday although I am fat and shouldn’t be eating so much sugary stuff! Hahaha…
I try to hand-make my X’mas presents to my closer friends every year, and again this year too. Painstakingly wrote out heartfelt messages onto it for them and I could really sense the delight in those who just received the presents, and that made me really happy. Share your thoughts about gifts and giving exactly. It’s our way of showing them our love, and that we are thinking of them. And giving is indeed a greater happiness than that of receiving.
take care=)`
Be Happy=)`
thank you for sharing the 冰糖葫蘆 with everyone, great gift to us,
有一種扁扁的冰糖葫蘆最好吃~~
送給你啊,
可惜我不在北京。T。T
“P.s. I would be happy enough if someone bought me the freshly made 冰糖葫蘆, hehe!!! ”
喺咪啊…?…我要即刻飛去北京買冰糖葫蘆比妳食啊…!!
順便買多幾打返黎送比人…見你食得甘鬼開心..哇哈哈..
Thank you! That’s really wake my memories up! You know what ? I have met a friend this moring which we haven’t seen each others couples of years. She’s with her son~
own you a 冰糖葫蘆! hehe
好贊成
” life and work has sucked away the time and energy”
收工鬼咁累,
好似都無咩心力去為身邊的人去做事,
嗯…. Christmas都係趕唔切,留番農曆新年先啦…………….
AGREE! love to spread the warmth to my loved ones!
i bought chocolate for my friends =)
plan to buy yr previous concert DVD for one of my friends,
coz he has watched u recent concert,
and wanted to know more bout u zn2
i dun mind to help him out la as a gootoe =)
CC啊其實我想同你講好耐啦,你要進軍大陸市場,你學國語一定要努力努力再努力啊~~~
例如有個詞,以前聽,到依家聽,你一直講錯,都無糾正過,“傳聞”個“聞”,應該系 “chuan wen”, not “chuan meen”~~
yea, presents for friends & family esp. christmas. Thks for reminding …mmm.. wat 2 get ar?
yummy foodies, will do !
冰糖葫蘆!叫我如何不想它!!!
我年年都會每個fd買一份X’mas gift架~~
雖然今年唔可以係X’mas比到佢地~~
但都希望可以係2010年前比到佢地喇!!!
因為大家都忙…所以仲未搞得成個gathering~~
希望可以快D見到班best fd喇!!!!!
話哂都fd左around16年….真係希望可以係一世o既好朋友呀!!!
窩心的提醒…..如你一提, 好慚愧我無在聖誕節送過禮物俾朋友, 除咗女朋友之外…..但經你之前在面書建議我哋買SUPERGOO CD俾朋友及親友做聖誕禮物後, 我決定今年買SUPERGOO LIVE DVD送俾朋友同阿哥, 因為佢哋都係欣賞你的人, 咁有眼光, 要我花少少錢送俾佢哋又點話~
真係咁簡單送份禮物就可以令對方開心?
很多時候都忙到忘記要送卡。。
今年難得醒起。。前幾個禮拜淨係走郵局都走幾轉。。
但係辛苦得黎又幾開心嘅~^^
哇!!冰糖葫蘆啊!!!我好中意食
聖誕卡年年都有送, 但成日都懶得買禮物~
不過你上次一講完送禮物俾人見到佢既反應時會好開心時, 我今年就算考緊試都走左去買禮物呀!!! (其實某程度上係唔想溫書,哈哈!)
我都幾肯定佢地會鍾意, 淨係諗到呢點, 就咩都值番晒!! 🙂 好野 !!~
冰糖葫蘆?細個時望倒好想食,覺得會好好味,點知到真係攞尼食嘅時候係兩回事!i don’t like it!(同埋小心果邊d野食,d街邊野就……. 🙁
年年都冇買禮物尼個習慣!得交換禮物(公司–位位$200禮物)!~
我think唔倒邊個XD
MERRY x’masssssssssssss
去年寫左好多張聖誕咭比同事,本來打算今年不寫了,
但星期日返完教會後…都係決定繼續做啦,寫呀寫呀寫….
哈哈,我的禮物早之前就寄了,不過只怪自己手腳太慢,他們收到聖誕都過了…不過我相信他們不會怪我的:p
其實唔知由幾時開始,每一年我都會買聖誕禮物俾幾個好朋友~~
唔單止佢哋收到會開心,連我買果陣都好開心架~~
Keep the practice of sending X’mas Card, especially to those who do not see very often or even for years. It’s a time for me to think of them.
life is a gift,that’s why we call it present
圣诞快乐,菇~~~
上次在河南,我们没来得及准备什么,但我们,还有好多好多菇徒都在心里为你送上了圣诞礼物:健康 快乐 心想事成^^
我小时候喜欢送礼物,但随着人长大了,自己越来越“懒”,许多节日都被我有意无意地给忽略了……..明天要出去办事,我想也许可以顺便准备点“惊喜”送给身边人,呵呵~想想我自己也蛮期待的….
GOOOODNITE~
我的一個朋友在聖誕節過生日,
我今年準備買一個姜餅小屋送給她,
她聽說、吃姜餅的話心上人會出現在身旁的,
所以就買個送給她,祝她心上人快快出現咯~~
今天是冬至,按照傳統慣例要吃餃子誒,
GOO,你吃了嗎?不吃的話媽媽說要凍耳朵的哦。
哈哈,阿诗预祝你圣诞快乐!
原来你系一个内心颇浪漫和细心的人!我feel到的
今天12,22日是冬至啊,冬至快乐
过冬大过年,中国的习俗来葛
一切顺利!“` … “`
Cold, cold cold and cold in Beijing!!!

I have brought the christmas gift to my best best best friend 😀
Hope she’ll like it !!
See you goo on 1st Jan 2010 at hall5BC !!
以前讀中學時都仲有交換聖誕卡.真係人愈大就愈唔去重視節目.重視ge只係放假.而家真係只係送俾身邊ge人.好少整野俾朋友(除左生日~).但我仲好珍惜我地幾個朋友仲會定時出黎食飯,行山咁~大家仲keep到呢段關係真係好好.
p.s. 我已經做緊小禮物lu~咩工具都出哂咁滯~
好想試下冰糖葫蘆係咩味…未食過
i like this post !! meaningful..
meanwhile i just bought 1 gift for a friend only… getting more gifts for others soon… =]
从小到大还真没有说为某个节日专门为所有朋友都准备一份礼物,只零星的送过。也许可以试试,呵呵,比如送个糖葫芦
