Where can we soak ourselves in this festive seasons and celebrate Christmas, where else but in our very own world famous airport, Singapore Changi Airport! This Christmas, Changi Airport will transform into a winter wonderland, bringing yuletide festivities to life and experience a touch of Disney Magic with the very popular Mickey Mouse & Friends.

This month is a busy month for us, we have been going to the airport many times as our relatives and friends from overseas have been coming back to Singapore for holidays and to celebrate Christmas! Each time we will go to the Christmas theme displays to take pictures and look at the lights shows.
