With the last stocking stuffed...
Let's keep the beautiful yuletide stories and legends alive.
Post Office restaurant, Leura, Blue Mountains NSW | Jeff OoiImagine Santa Claus as someone who took it upon himself to fulfill the dreams of many a kid around the world, that he will ride the reindeer sledge to deliver Christmas presents in snowy weather, year after year, Christmas after Christmas. The little girls and boys just need to be good the whole year round, think of the sacrifices of Jesus on Silent Night, and they will wake up to a stuffed stocking placed by their bedside.
It's summer in the Blue Mountains and the sun sets way after 7pm. I was waiting for dinner at the Post Office restaurant at the beautiful little town called Leura, and this Santa in solitude struck me.
I was looking at the last parcel of the Christmas present that Santa must have kept for someone dear to us.
Could it be for Obama so that the US auto industry can be saved with the US$17.4 billion bail-out that Bush will hand over to him next month, and that in return, the whole world doesn't have to go broke in bailing out US in the year to come?
Merry Christmas everyone!

2009, a year that's laced with a dreaded "worst is yet to come" catch-phrase...
BUT what matters is how we have conduct ourselves so far... with our family & loved ones & with the community at large... and how we can support/help the leaders we have placed in power...
How content we are in our present state determines how we react to changes in the coming year...
How harmonious we engage with one another influences the way we react to individuals in scenarios that arise next year...
May we have wisdom in all areas to deal with whatever situations that crop up in our lives in the year 2009...
A belated BLESSED CHRISTMAS & an intriguing NEW YEAR ahead !!!!
