Now that I have my new gnashers, I can speak properly without the slight lisp I had, so here's wishing everyone: A MERRY XMAS AND HAPPY AND PEACEFUL NEW YEAR !!!
For the despondent, every day brings trouble; for the happy heart, life is a continual feast. Proverbs 15:15 I think this wise proverb epitomises the spirit of Christmas, imho.
I was actually wondering whether as an eastern heathen, it was appropriate on my part to wish a merry christmas ! Then I recalled that the three wise men from the east where the ones who first celebrated Jesus's birthday with him and gifted him toys. So that was pretty cool and brought me contentment. Merry Christmas to all.
