今天是聖誕節翌日，12月26日節禮日（Boxing Day），香港稱為「聖誕節後第一個周日」。一般而言，如果26日是星期日，節禮日便會延至12月27日。
香港聖誕氣氛非常濃厚，早在11月中旬，四周已有各式各樣的聖誕燈飾及佈置，而我今年早在十月已開始張羅籌備，忙個不亦樂乎！
在香港普遍誤傳12月26日為拆禮物日，以為所有聖誕禮物必須等到此日才可開封，因此這天在香港又稱為「拆禮物日」。其實其他國家並沒有此傳統習俗，以歐美為例，所有聖誕節禮物早在聖誕前夕（12月24日聖誕夜，中文又名平安夜）或12月25日聖誕日早上已經可以拆開。不過，相信很多朋友一定急不及待一收到禮物便當場拆開來看，甚至即時使用！你拆了禮物沒有？

Music, Movie, Musicals and Me
Music and theatre have had a close relationship. Theatre can associate with movie or musical theatre (musicals) and I love both of them. I sing theme songs in some Asian movies, such as“When I Dream” (theme from “Dragon Squad”). It easily recalls people not only from scenes of the movie, but also from memory. I love theme music from movies as well as songs from Musicals, especially Broadway. I remember I have fallen in love with Broadway since I was 12. Musical films characteristically contain elements reminiscent of theatre; performers often sing and dance as if there is a live audience watching. Some musical films were adapted for the stage after their great success, such as “The Wizard of Oz” and“Fame”, while successful musicals also definitely received movie adaptations, i.e. stage-to-film adaptations, such as“Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Evita”. We can share our moments after all these years by passing through “Over the Rainbow”, “Out Here On My Own”, “I Don’t Know How To Love Him”, “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”, “You Must Love Me” ……
“Moon River” (theme from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”) has to be selected in my new album "Theatre" although it has been covered by hundreds of artists all over the world. I sing it each time, it seems like a live performance accompanied by the pianist just in front of the audience.
“The Way We Were” (theme from “The Way We Were”) must be selected because it was the song of one of my favorite singers that influences me most, Barbra Streisand, and I won the singing contest with it!
“For All We Know” (theme from “Lovers and OtherStrangers”) was selected, of course, in tribute to my forever idol, the Carpenters.
