CHRISTMAS 2025 IN SINGAPORE

 The breakfast buffet at the Marriott Tang Plaza is crowded and hectic, but bountiful and wonderful.  I had two courses  The first, ramen,

The second, more traditional for the Western world.

After just resting from our late breakfast, decided to walk around for awhile to see what the sights would be in daylight.

We were greeted by my Blue-bar Pigeon.
Ion Plaza.

Then went to the Executive Lounge for 2 hours of of drinks and eats to begin our Christmas Eve on Orchard Road, for the Great Singapore 2025 Christmas Eve Street Party.


Walked 4472 steps today.
We spent Christmas Day in Singapore mostly resting.  Won't even bother you with a great buffet breakfast.  Walked around a bit, for stores are all open here on Christmas.

Had a fine time in the Marriott Tang Plaza Executive Lounge.
Australian Sauvignon Blance, Shiraz and champagne, plus a Chivas Regal 12 on rocks,
Went for a second course.
Walked 2877 steps,

What do Singaporeans do on Christmas?  Here is an ultimate guide for 2025.

  • Best places for lights and decorations
    • #1 is of course Orchard Road, where we went last night.  About two miles, from Tanglin to Dhoby Ghaut.  The Marriott Tang Plaza is right next to where this all starts.
    • #2 is Christmas Wonderland at Gardens by the Bay.
    • #3 is the Christmas Train Show at the Flower Dome.
    • #4 is Changi Airport
    • #5 Marina Bay Sands.

A Christmas Eve Playbook for adults suggests as #1,    Gardens by the Bay.

#2?  Orchard Road for their Christmas Eve Walk.
So we were fortunate enough to stay at the Marriott Tang Plaza for Christmas.

Hawaii today celebrates King Kamehameha the First Day as a public holiday.  Next Monday, June 19, or  Juneteenth,  is a Federal holiday.  However, 22 states, including Hawaii, do not recognize this as a public holiday.  Four of these will begin to honor this day next year, not Hawaii.  Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery.  Here are the Hawaii holidays, and note three that only we have: New Year’s Day: 1st day in January Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day: 3rd Monday in January Presidents’ Day: 3rd Monday in February Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Day: 26th day in March Good Friday: Friday before Easter Easter:   Calculating Easter Memorial Day: Last Monday in May King Kamehameha I Day: 11th day in June Independence Day: 4th day in July Statehood Day: 3rd Friday in August Labor Day: 1st Monday in September Veterans’ Day: 11th day in November Thanksgiving Day: 4th Thursday in November Christmas: 25th day in December There are  11 paid Fede...

HOW TO WATCH NETFLIX SHOWS

But first, maybe  President Donald Trump's 20-point Gaza Peace Plan is showing some progress .   No one expects the Hamas to accept all of them, but they did agree to release all captives and the act of handing over administration to Palestinian technocrats. So far, in the Gaza Strip, 66,288 have been killed and 169,165 wounded.   On 7October2023, almost two years ago, 1139 were killed in the initial Hamas-led attack. About my topic of the day, I've long been lamenting the overflow of watchable films and series available on Netflix and Prime.  Why expand into the plethora of other streaming options when I can't keep up with what I have, which costs me around $30/month.  And, of course, why venture out to a movie theater to end up watching a film that will cost me around that amount of money, when you add the popcorn, drink, gasoline cost, time it takes to get there and back, and the risk of a car accident or worse.  Oh, also getting infected with ...
