A Funtoystic Christmas and Farewell 2010 !


This is my last post for 2010. 
Thank you very much for your visits, comments, encouragement and support.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR from Malaysia! 


The pictures are from the Mid Valley Megamall shopping centre in Kuala Lumpur. Their theme for Chirstmas 2010 is 'Have a Funtoystic Christmas'. I have also selected some quotations which I hope will motivate and inspire you just as they had done the same to me.

This is my 201st post, 236 followers, 90 000 clicks and 4,836 comments after 1.5 years of active blogging. TQVM (thank you very much) to my blogging friends!

May your 2010 Christmas be as magical as you'd like it to be
and,
May all your wishes come true!


"From home to home, and heart to heart, from one place to another.
The warmth and joy of Christmas, brings us closer to each other".
- Emily Matthews


"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning,
but everyone can start today and make a new ending"
..... Maria Robinson 


"The difference between school and life?
In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test.
In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.
..... Tom Bodett



" I expect to pass through life but once.
If therefore, there be any kindness I can show,
or any good thing I can do to any fellow being,
let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it,
as I shall not pass this way again."
..... William Penn


"Health is the greatest gift,
contentment the greatest wealth,
faithfulness the best relationship".
..... Buddha
 
 

"Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love,
of kindness, of understanding, of peace.
Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God
- the rest will be given".
..... Mother Teresa


"I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph."
..... Shirley Temple



Do you still believe in Santa Claus?
Do you still want your children to believe in Santa Claus?
Do you have a special Santa Claus story to share with me?

My greatest Santa shocker was the song, "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus last night!" As a little kid, I really didn't want my mom kissing anyone else except my dad, not even Santa!

Until then, see you in 2011!
Cheers!!!
Autumn Belle


MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR !

聖誕節快樂, 新年快乐, shèng dàn jié  kuài lè, xin nian kuai le!

Maligayang Pasko, Manigong bagong taon!
Ein glückliches neues Jahr!

  6. Merry Christmas to you too - you megablogger!

    I stopped believing in Santa when I realized my mom was grabbing junk around the house to put in our stockings - little Chinese snacks, oranges, etc. Santa does not give Chinese snacks!!

    My older daughter believed (strongly...because we strongly encouraged it) in Santa until she was ridiculously old - like 8 years old or something. She's not stupid, just really into the season and magic. I started to feel bad - she was old enough that I felt I was lying to her. Anyway, it was a very sad year that year and the next, but I think as a 12 year old, she once again loves "Santa" and the feeling this time of year.

    Enjoy your break!!

  7. Hi my dearest friend in blogscape. Merry Christmas to you too and i really treasure our "small friendship" developed here. I certainly learn a lot from you, been inspired by you and been happy posting because of you, haha! I thought at opening you coined that term 'funtoystic' and i lol at it, i said you are so clever, but found it's the mall's idea. So my 'Virtual Friend', i will be waiting for you at the end of the holidays. May you be fully blessed.

  9. Dear AB,

    The photos of the funtoystic event were awesome! I feel like a kid too. :-)

    Parts of India that receive snow get affected; otherwise, it's fine expect chillness during early mornings and late evenings.

    Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

    Regards,
    Asha

  48. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Autumn Belle! Those are pretty amazing decorations at the Megamall. Seeing them brought back memories of childhood, when my family would take the hour-long train ride north to Boston (Massachusetts) at Christmastime each year to look at the animated displays in the department store windows. To my child's eye, they were magical, as I imagine these gigantic toys would also be.
