Christmas QuotesA Christmas candle is a lovely thing;
It makes no noise at all,
But softly gives itself away;
While quite unselfish, it grows small.
________________________________________
Christmas is the season
for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall,
the genial flame of charity in the heart.
________________________________________
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby,
keeping watch of their flocks at night.
An angel of the Lord appeared to them,
and the glory of the Lord shone around them,
and they were terrified.
But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid.
I bring you good news of great joy that will for all the people.
Today in the town of David
a Savior has been born to you;
he is Christ the Lord.
________________________________________
What is Christmas?
It is tenderness for the past,
courage for the present,
hope for the future.
It is a fervent wish
that every cup may overflow
with blessings rich and eternal,
and that every path
may lead to peace.
________________________________________
The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree:
the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.
________________________________________
May Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through!
________________________________________
I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.
________________________________________
It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air.
________________________________________
Blessed is the season
which engages the whole world
in a conspiracy of love!
________________________________________
Remember this December,
That love weighs more than gold!
________________________________________
At Christmas play and make good cheer,
For Christmas comes but once a year.
________________________________________
Great little One!
whose all-embracing birth lifts
Earth to Heaven, stoops Heaven to Earth.
________________________________________
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth,
good-will to men!
________________________________________
The earth has grown old with its burden of care,
But at Christmas it always is young.
________________________________________
Oh! lovely voices of the sky
Which hymned the Saviour's birth,
Are ye not singing still on high,
Ye that sang, "Peace on earth"?
________________________________________
"I will hold Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year."
________________________________________
"There's more, much more, to Christmas
Than candlelight and cheer;
It's the spirit of sweet friendship
That brightens all year.
It's thoughtfulness and kindness,
It's hope reborn again,
For peace, for understanding,
And for goodwill to men!"
________________________________________
Christmas day is a day of joy and charity.
May God make you very rich in both.
________________________________________
Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind.
To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy,
is to have the real spirit of Christmas.
________________________________________
Christmas is not in tinsel and lights and outward show.
The secret lies in an inner glow.
It's lighting a fire inside the heart.
Good will and joy a vital part.
It's higher thought and a greater plan.
It's glorious dream in the soul of man.
________________________________________
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world,
and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.
________________________________________
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play, and wild and sweet
The word repeat of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Made in ChinaThe whole world is scared of China made "black hearted goods". Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China ? Let me tell you...the first 3 digits of barcode 690.691.692 are MADE IN CHINA
471 is Made in Taiwan .
This is our human right to know, but the government and related department never educate the public, therefore we have to RESCUE ourselves.
Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products "made in china", so they don't show from which country it is made.
However, you may now refer to the barcode, remember if the first 3 digits is 690-692 then it is made in China .
00 ~ 09 USA & CANADA
30 ~ 37 FRANCE
40 ~ 44 GERMANY
49 - JAPAN
50 - UK
Do you want to try internet gambling? Sure, you would not know the ones you can trust, but that is what reviews are for, right? Casino newbies helped me a lot when I decided to give online casinos a try. It provided me with the knowledge from how to play, what to try and what websites to trust in gambling. You can not trust all of them. Some would just cheat you out of your money. Still, it is hard to search all casinos and try if they are user-friendly before visiting it regularly. If you are curious about why people visit casinos regularly, you can find out yourself. Especially if you live very far away from one. Or, there really isn’t one located in your city.
My friends told me that if I would like to try online casino games, I would check this out first. This site gives guides, tips, personal testimonies from gamblers and the best of the best online casino in town. I am thankful that I did, or else I would have been tricked out by other sites. The site is very friendly and accessible. Even expert gamblers can get tips and ideas here because they have list of top casinos operating online.
