The church is flowery decorated and "Father" presents to every family with a small gift. When I opened it, there were 2 sweets and a small magnetic prayer that read "God answers prayers" . It can be stuck onto the fridge's door. But I stuck it near me, i.e. the desktop's hard disk just right of me so that I can see it every moment!
This is the way, the church here does its way.. we all love the surprise gift and no doubt, Father here always bless the children before the end of the mass which is exceptionally different and each time, it gives me lots of lifting spirits when the children song is sung.
At the end of the mass, I took many photos and of course we all shaked hands with Father to greet him a very blessed "Merry Xmas & happy NY".

Pre Christmas Gathering (23 Dec 2011)
This year, didnt call back all students who leave before the Xmas season. Thus leaving a few and some parents to come for the party cum gathering. With this type of small figure of people, it is more close in a sense!
We have home cooked food and our party started at 6:40pm until 9pm. Every one left with a small christmas gift from me.

Simple life
In every Christmas Day, I try to assess myself when can I live more simply?
It was one of my emails with my sis-in-law, ie my husband's only sister who is a very simple lady with a very kind heart. She is a devote buddhist. She wrote that she wanted to donate most of her clothings and things to associations to all those in need.
She wanted her new home with simple things and live very simply. She didnt want to buy extra furnitures and extra things to make the house messy and need so much time to clean or arrange them but rather her time to be devoted to all those needy in her surroundings.
When can I be like her? Can I throw all the things that belong to my children that were kept by me for so many decades already? Can I just simply throw away all books and any clothings that are not in use now? I am still skeptical about myself then, throwing away can just take a few minutes but what if I need them? Am I going to buy them over and over? Isnt it another wasteful thing?
Undecided!.. When can I live as simply as possible like a "nun"?
