Merry Christmas to all Christians
Have a twinkly tinsley time and a frolic filled new year!

As I am agnostic, I will be celebrating the pagan festival of "Noel" this year which involves NO religion, eating a lot of wonderful food, drinking mulled wine, having a christmas tree covered in twinkley lights, singing "Santa Claus is coming to Town" and giving and receiving lots of presents .....

....strangely enough, most of the Christians do the same

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.


Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.


Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.


Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.


You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.


Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.


With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

Thanks Kaf
I usually hate that kind of thing, but I really love that. It is unsentimental and wonderfully true

"hallgassatok rám, jákob házának minden maradéka, a kiket magamra raktam anyátok méhétől fogva, és hordoztalak születésetek óta, vénségtekig én vagyok az, és megőszüléstekig én visellek, én teremtettem és én hordozom, én viselem és megszabadítom."
erős várunk vagy te, kinek neve áldott áldásában. oltalmazz bennünket a sötéttől, mert te vagy az örökkévaló, világegyetem ura. áldva légy te, istenünk és atyáink istene, ábrahám istene, izsák istene és jákob istene, hatalmas erős félelmes és fenséges isten, legfőbb isten, jó és kedves dolgok cselekvője, mindenek Ura. áldva légy te, ábrahám pajzsa, fekete tűznek atyja. mindörökre, így legyen.

boldog karácsonyt.
