Photo Journal/ A-Z Photo Challenge: Z is for Zuper Duper Merry Christmas to One and All

We are celebrating Christmas with Frizztext’s A-Z Photo Challenge. Letter this week is Z and I am conveniently greeting everyone a Zuper Duper Merry Christmas from my family to yours this 2012. Our Christmas here in Singapore is extra special because we have family friends who have come over to spend the holidays with us all the way from the Philippines. And because Christmas should be “a time when there won’t be a single place dark or unhappy” as noted by e.e. cummings, we celebrate the season with light, love, and laughter.

A Zuper Duper Merry Christmas from my family to yours!

“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.” 
― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

“The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.” 
― Bob Marley

“It’s the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.” 
― Marlene Dietrich

“The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.” 
― Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez

“You must remember, family is often born of blood, but it doesn’t depend on blood. Nor is it exclusive of friendship. Family members can be your best friends, you know. And best friends, whether or not they are related to you, can be your family.” 
― Trenton Lee Stewart, The Mysterious Benedict Society

Warm blessings to you and your family! Merry Christmas!
