O. Henry: The Gift of the Magi. The saddest Christmas story of all time?
No I am not saying O Henry was humbug However I thinkyou need to re read teh story especially the last part. The meaning is lost on you. Christmas is a time for Christians to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We usually do that for a couple of hours in church. It is a time to remember that this man was born to spread the word of God and possibly ALLAH. Buddhists believe that Bhudda did this as well. It is a time for families to get together and enjoy a meal as best they can afford. Much the same as people do at Chinese New year, Ramadan, and Hannaka. It is also a time for children. To me, as a child, there was nothing more enjoyable than waking up and going out to see what was under the tree that Santa, my parents, and my grandmother had bought me. Then after opening all the presents heading out to play hockey with my friends using the new sticks [ucks and skates that we usually got. Talking about the hauls we made out with. As an adult Christmas was always abut giving to others. The look on a family when we would drop off a Christmas hamper with a turkey and stuff so that a deserving family would have a great Christmas. As a parent, it was the look on my daughter's face when she opened her presents and found things that she thought she would not get. Then going to her grandparents to celebrate Christmas with her aunts uncle, and cousins, Here in Thailand, it is the looks that I got and the enjoyment that kids had when they woke up and found a present on the fence. The looks were not in anger but in joy, and they were trying to convince me to admit that I did it. To celebrate Christmas is easy. It shouldn't matter the price of the gift but that they gift was given and he meaning behind it. For many there are reasons that Christmas may not be as bright BUT I will guarantee that if you look at the good in people you will see the blessing of christmas -

Why is the AU$ so low.
The Aussies are not the brightest business people. They seem to invest mainly in the housing bubble more than businesses. Their economy and dollar is linked to digging holes in the ground. The mining companies are mostly foreign owned so the profits go offshore. When what they dig out of the ground falls in price, so does the dollar. Without the holes in the ground they would be a third world economy. They have been lucky up until now, but the whole thing is about to collapse. Their dollar will keep falling. Other countries are digging holes and do it cheaper and can transport it cheaper. They are more interested in playing sport than doing business. Simpletons. -

Woman Dies After Being Set on Fire in New York Subway
Worse, a NYC cops just walked by her and did nothing. Jesus, we learned "Drop and Roll" and "Smother the flames" in freaking grade school. Yet even NYC cops do nothing. America is a shadow of its former self. This is beyond sick. -

Japan dethrones Thailand as top tourist spot
I never came here thinking I would stay, it was only supposed to be temporary, I sucked it up for my family's sake. Now after the pandemic we find ourselves stuck here, it's like a cruel joke, but it's not....this place is about as close to Hell as I have ever been.
