year-end festive line-up

For all intents and purposes, the year-end shopping season is already here. Well, now that the Mooncake Festival is over, we’ll be having one festival after another rolling up:

• Raya (mid October) – where new clothes, upgraded home furnishings and lavish dinners are customary
• Halloween (end October)- although not popular here right now is being promoted to kids, which means the parents have to fork out more money for costumes, duh!
• Thanksgiving (end November) – probably celebrated only me (blame it on my American education ) and a handful of others
• Christmas/New Year’s (December/January) – the gift-giving event of the year!
• Chinese New Year (January or February) – again new clothes, upgraded home furnishings, lavish dinners and gifts are customary
• Valentine’s – ouch!!

So are we all set with our bulgy wallets ??
