Cheese Scone

X’Mas is closer and closer. Have you put every X’Mas decoration? Do you get your X’Mas jumper? Or, do you start to listen X’Mas songs? When our lives become digitalized, those X’Mas decorations are digitalized as well. When I walked passed our neighbor couple days ago, I saw some scary things. I think, “Oh My God, don’t tell me I see the ghost.” Then I found out I was wrong. It is a light show. There are Santa, snowflake, firework… Those project lights are not always there so you will see some shadow. Technology!! It does make our life easy and make our life scary. Haha
