Christmas Party Games for Adult

I am in a Christmas mood now. It all started with my girls watching Barbie Christmas Carol 2 days ago and again today. Then they starting singing and humming the Christmas Carols, I watched movie about Christmas on Hallmark and reading about other bloggers preparation for Christmas.

Are you wondering what my Christmas preparation for this year is? Nothing except making sure that my girls got the courage to go up on the stage as sheep for the Nativity Play during Christmas service. I won’t be buying any Christmas present because the church I am currently attending does not practice exchanging of gifts. It is not a bad thing because to some, this might be a burden.

However some of the church members will hold Christmas party at their home. For the past few years, I only experienced one Christmas party where there are games for the adult. It was so much fun than just eating, chatting and watching the children play.

So, if any of you are going to have a Christmas part this year, please do prepare some Christmas games for the adult. No idea on what games to play? Check out the Christmas Party Ideas from Celebrations.com. I am sure your guess will never forget your Christmas party.

Still not thinking in BM

Hubby may be able to get use the BM/English service but not me. I am ok with the sermons in BM/English but not the worship. I just can’t worship with BM songs. Malay is my first language but now, it is no longer my mother tongue. I think in English most of the time. Whatever I hear in Malay, my brain will automatically translates them to English!

For example, yesterday when I was at the government clinic doing my first check-up with them, I was asked, “Suami kamu bekerja dekat mana?” My mind translate the “dekat” to “near” whereby the actual meaning of word that the nurse meant was “at” (i only realised it when i see my clinic book!). So instead of giving hubby’s shop address, I told her that he works near Giant!

I dunno lar. Maybe I did not try hard enough.
