A Magical Christmas at Hong Kong Disney

Disney Christmas

Dreaming of a magical Christmas at Hong Kong Disneyland.


Disneyland is a magical place not only for children but also for those kids at-heart. So you can just imagine going there during Christmas! That is indeed a double treat!

The Winter Holiday at Hong Kong Disneyland has already started last November 18, 2011 and will end January 2, 2011. All the attractions there have Christmas decorations. As usual, you can meet and greet the beloved Disney characters wearing Christmas costumes.

The highlight of your visit would be procession of characters where Santa Mickey will ride a magical sleigh. And of course, the end of the day will be capped with pompous pyrotechnics show at the Tinkerbell Castle. I dunno why they call it Tinkerbell because in the US, it is the Cinderella Castle but it is where Tinkerbell descends for the nighttime finale.

Well, anyway, you can also get special treats if you stay in any of the disney hotels in the area.

I am pretty sure that in all the Disney Parks all over the world, Christmas will be as magical as this one. After all, at Disney, dreams do come true.

WoolWorths UK’s Last Sale Before Christmas

Customers line up during the last sale of Woolworths (Woolies) UK. Everything must go before Christmas–that is the aim, for this is the store’s closing out sale. It was said that the sales generated from selling all their stuff will go to the payment of the company’s loans.

What I feel bad for will be the displacement of more than 30,000 workers. Woolworth has been in the retail business for 99 years and sometimes I wonder, for stores this big, what could possibly bring them down?

I just hope that the displaced employees will be able to find other companies that will absorb them. But the older group will have to have an early retirement and be forced to find desperation measures. Although they may probably have separation pay, this won’t last long as cost of living in UK is also very high.

I guess there is happy and a sad side to Christmas. This is one sad side to it.
