🎄 Christmas Around the Corner: What's Your Year-End Break Plan?
With Christmas just a week away, many investors are gradually shifting into a year-end rhythm—slower trading, portfolio reviews, and a reset before the new year.
In Singapore, the festive atmosphere is already building:
Orchard / Tanglin Mall: Seasonal light displays and artificial snowfall
Marina Bay Sands: Christmas-themed installations with city skyline views
Jewel Changi Airport: Disney cruise–themed light and music shows, ideal for families
Holland Village: A more relaxed, casual option for a short evening break
At the same time, many choose to travel overseas during the Christmas—using the holiday to fully disconnect, recharge, and reflect on the year.
What’s your Christmas plan?
A️. Staying in Singapore for a low-key break
B️. Traveling overseas (short-haul or long-haul)
C️. Spending Christmas at home with family
D️. Not decided yet, staying flexible
🎯 Discussion:
Do you usually scale back trading activity around Christmas?
Prefer a complete reset, or light market monitoring during the holidays?
If you’re traveling, what’s your style: Asia getaway / Europe Christmas markets / beach escape?

From a markets perspective, I usually scale back my trading activity around Christmas. Liquidity tends to thin out, price action can be noisy & I find it more productive to use this period for portfolio review and reflection rather than active positioning. I still keep an eye on the market, but it’s more about monitoring risk than chasing opportunities.
For me, the year-end period is about resetting—reviewing what worked, what didn’t & setting a clearer framework for the new year. A calm Christmas in Singapore provides the right balance: staying connected to the market without being consumed by it, and recharging both mentally and strategically before January begins.

Christmas is a family affair as we head to church in the morning.
Then we head to my mother's house. This is where the real work begins - eating the glorious spread she prepares! It is a hilarious, loud and loving gathering of aunts, uncles and cousins.
Then this is followed by exchanging gifts and more laughter.
Beyond the gifts and gourmet food, Christmas for us is fundamentally about 2 things: Peace and Profound Gratitude.
It is a time to pause, count our blessings and cherish the simple incredible gift of being together in a safe country. This Christmas is about the quiet joy of family and peace in our hearts. 🥰🥰🎅🎅

我的选择偏向 A：留在新加坡，低调休息。不刻意安排远行，反而更容易真正放松。晚上到荷兰村吃个简单的晚餐，走一走、想一想，今年做对了什么，又在哪些地方太急、太贪。这种安静的时间，对投资者来说很奢侈。
圣诞前后我通常会明显缩减交易活动，把仓位降到“看了不焦虑”的程度。假期里不会完全断开市场，但只做轻监控，不盯盘、不追消息，更多是整理组合逻辑，看看哪些持仓值得带进新一年。
如果要旅行，我会更偏向亚洲或海滩型度假，节奏慢、压力小。对我来说，圣诞节的意义不是逃离市场，而是让心态和节奏重新对齐，为新一年留下空间。
