Dear Jeff,
if you don’t mind ,Now we are in Christmas time,I wanna ask you to explain the proverb:
Christmass comes but once a year.

I believe it is the best time to bring up such a question. Talk about perfect timing

if you kindly answer this very question post-haste ,it would be the best time to answer it.I mean ,talk about meant to be

my timing couldn’t be better ,I guess(LoL)

“Jeff” a religious person ,I highly doubt it!

He never sruck me as a religious person. That is why he sounds very upstanding.If he was religious, he would be …

He sounds more Agnostic than religious .I am not saying he is not a spritiual person.from the looks of things,,he is more in to science than religions. .Definitly ,he is a man of fait!

If you don’t believe me, ask Jeff ,or Lucy

religious , no frigging way

Hi Lucy:

I would love to have carolers knock on my door. Too bad that beautiful tradition is dying away.
Your explanation is so clear as always. I adore your writing style.

Hi Jeff:

I could feel you’re a religious person, and that’s why you’re so pure in the way you express your thoughts and opinions.

May God bless you both and your family a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year!

Hoang

I want to wish Happy New Year to everybody, especially to Lucy and Jeff and all people who works in ESL.
Also I hope that everyone who writes in this blog continued doing it and improved our English even faster (as Jeff would say).
My favourite song in this time is “White Christmas”, I don´t know why but the first sentence of this song I love it very much “I´m dreaming for a White Crhistmas…”, maybe because I has never been a Christmas with snow in my childhood. Nowadays, all my Christmas are white because I´m living in mountains…and I think, this is a dream became true.

Happy Christmas and Happy New Year from Spain!

Three days have past still Christmas is in the air.everywhere you go you see happy faces .you see people walk in groups trying hard to enjoy themselves.seems like the world as we know it gives way to something beautiful ,something passionate.
people who were my arch-enemy yesterday are my close friends today.homeless people who were ignored yesterday are fully attended today.churches that were deserted yesterday are packed today.seems like ,all of a sudden , people remembered fait and God on the top of it.

I wish, every day was christmass ,and I wish, all the beauty in the air lasted more than the life of a dew on a leaf.alas,this is a dream that no one can live!

By now

Hi everyone , it is just a few days separating as from new year, i hope new year becomes year of happiness and make wishes and achieveing un achieved objects and aims, i ask you to become more comfortable and happy. for me 2009 is year of surprise and self education and getting more life and professional and academic experiences, the worest thing happened to me was unexpected death of my mother the pillar of my life and my personal backbone, when i remember her i feel with deep grief and keen sorry that i could not make her happy for at leat just a few minutes.she was a person with full energy of life and creativity and knowledge and ambigious attitude,her an achieved message in life which she took her with herself forever is still a live in my heart and my mind, i will do my best to practice it in the my life and career and my personal strategy.
