ANNOUNCEMENT:

Dear all,

I hope that you all know what the 'filling the cradle' game is about by now. For references, please look back to my previous post on this same blog. Anyway, Daniel and me are planning to set up the game by this weekend, so hopefully we will be able to start it by Monday or Tuesday! We will deliver a note to your doors to indicate the beginning of the cradle filling.

Basically, for each good deed done to you, you're supposed to place one straw in the cradle that will be built for baby Jesus. Lets all aim to fill the cradle by Christmas time! It's only 6 weeks left and Orchard Road is already lit up, so lets all light up the hearts of our friends as well :)

The straws and cradle will be located in front of my room, so everytime you feel that someone from CG did something good for you, or simply when anything good happens, just come down and place a straw in the cradle. It's as simple as that. If you're too lazy to come down everytime, simply make a mental note of how many deeds you receieved and just come down at the end of the day and place as many straws.

As I was writing this, it struck me that this game will also teach us to appreciate the small things in life that people do for us, be it helping us take fruits during dinner, or write messages to uplift our spirits. Such things may not be large, but I think they do mean a lot as they come from the bottom of the heart. It's also in line with the spirit of Christmas, giving with all sincereness. So, I'm hoping that this will help us prepare for Christmas in the right spirit, instead of getting caught up in the rush of buying presents.

Finally, hope that all of you will participate enthusiastically!

Cheers,

Julian
