Spending Christmas in one of the hottest countries in the world can lead to some weird stuff happening. Whether its overcompensating with way too many Christmas decorations or doing weird things with soap suds, here are some of the things that give us a giggle.
1. Crazy amount of decorations on Orchard Road and other shopping mall streets
Has anyone ever counted how many streets we have decorated? Not complaining, though.
2. Taking pictures with above mentioned decorations on the street

3. No snow, but a lot of rain
Rainy days means (slightly) cooler weather which kind of gives us the feeling that it’s sort of Christmasy, right?
4. Fake snow, aka soap foam
There’s always a few shopping malls that do this. It’s all fun and games until it’s everywhere and some poor kid gets it in his eye. Thirty minutes later, shoeprints are everywhere, the ground gets really slippery, and you can count the parents cleaning up their children at the nearest Mcdonald’s. Every. Year.
5. Not having a fireplace
Cute Christmas idea: How about playing a fireplace video on the family telly? You get an instant fireplace, minus the heat. Get on YouTube for a ten hour recording of a fireplace, complete with real live cackling sound effects too! Get the link here.
6. Having to downsize your Christmas tree
Since most of us live in HDBs, it means any space saving alternative is welcome. Save your poor brother/nephew/niece/sister the pain of standing over the presents with this guide to space saving Christmas trees.
7. Seeing cars with mini antlers attached to the hood
The people who tend to do this are cute!
8. Being too enthusiastic about Christmas; being told to calm down
There’s no such thing.
And that wraps up some of the things that happen when you spend Christmas in Singapore. Do you agree? Leave us a comment on facebook or tweet us at @herworldsg!
