Xmas is in the air …. but why is there no Xmas mood?

Xmas is definitely around the corner … you can hear it, see it and maybe even feel it … The shops have began their yearly Xmas decorations … maybe not as lavish as few years back .. but the decorations and lightings are definitely up. Every where you go, shops are blasting away songs that you will only hear during this festive period .. Sounds of bells jingling, songs like Rudoff the red nose rein deer etc are finding themselves on the air after a 11 months cold storage. And last of all, you may even start to feel the pinch in you wallets as you start to go around buying gifts for your dear friends or for the annual gifts exchange …BUT personally there is something seriously missing… for me at least ….. the festive MOOD…

Yes I can see the decorations and hear the songs … but the mood is not there … thanks to a certain MLM company … stupid company with stupid compensation plans all set to ruin my Xmas mood big time. Have been working hard trying to unravel the mysteries of the numerous inter-companies’ transactions, the ubiquitous yet completely baffling compensation plans …. and the list goes on and on …

Yea well … as you can see .. I do not have a general good impression of MLM companies … Passive income is well and good … but to earn it at the expense of others … nope .. that is not for me. The only form of passive income I can accept is you owning a big company and people work for you and you pay them wages … For MLM … you gain $ but there is no cost on your part … to me that sounds very very dodgy indeed.

Well … enough about the company … back to xmas … I was out shopping last weekend when I started to get a little bit trigger happy .. (with a SLR you cannot help but be trigger happy I guess) Here is the loot .. a picture load of Xmas trees …. And if I cannot make it on time for my next blog … Merry Xmas !! Yea I know it is a bit too early … but high chance I will not have the chance to blog again before Dec 25 .. Enff talk .. enjoy the pics ..

This is my favorite tree … the most dazzling and not to mention the most expensive. Introducing the crystal Xmas tree

 

The traditional yet ever golden tree ..I could not help but to take a pic next to it .. 🙂

 

Next we have the true blue tree ….

Then the most normal looking xmas tree

And of course … what is xmas without the giant holy laurel of leaves and mistletoes?

And here ends my field report … Xmas mood … come to me soon !!
