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.

ON THE MATTER OF PUBLIC HOLIDAYS

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...

THE ENIGMATIC PHIL SPECTOR

The first presidential debate of Donald Trump and Joe Biden ended up in a near tie.  Both lost.  However, it was an unmitigated disaster for Biden, who just might be too old to win this re-election. For Trump, it was a reinforcement of what he does all the the time, lie.   There will be significant calls for the Democratic Party to work out "something" to replace Biden as their presidential candidate.  Suddenly, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom and Michelle Obama are added to the spotlight.  But what can "legally" occur at the August Democratic Convention? The situation is different on the Republican side, as Trump is the Republican Party, and no matter if he gets 4 years at his felony sentencing on July 9, or even if the Supreme Court determines he is not immune next week or later, he will be the presidential candidate. Trump is a damned boastful liar and convicted felon, but that is the only option for Republicans.  His vice-presidential choice now become...

THE NEXT TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE

There are 4 types of solar eclipse. Total  Partial  Annular  Hybrid  About the above graphic. On the left is a total solar eclipse. In middle is an annular solar eclipse. A hybrid eclipse appears as either a total or an annular eclipse depending on the observers location.  These only occur once in a decade. A partial eclipse is to the right. A total solar eclipse occurs about every 18 months.  However a specific location will see a total eclipse only once every 375 years.  So if you recently saw one, you'll need to travel to see another.   My wife was born on July 11.  She found out that there would be total eclipse over her Big Island on that day in 1991, so off we flew to Kailua-Kona and stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel.  Turned out that if we had just watched from the hotel beach, we would have had the best view.  But we had a friend who lived high up on Mauna Loa, so off we went to join him.   But it was so clo...
