On the Christmas of 1999, the little kid in me woke up early as usual, and raced downstairs to get the first glance of the Christmas tree. The lights glistened and dazzled like a kaleidoscope filled with treasures and delights. A smile filled my face from ear to ear, when I feasted on the sight of all the brightly wrapped presents that lay before me, like sleeping bears waiting to be released from hibernation.
