Silent Night and Merry Christmas!

Esther and Olivia returned after mid-night yesterday (or very early this morning) after spending 6 days with two other families in Los Angeles. As you may notice from the news, Southern California was storm-raining in the past week and 6 counties were declared in emergency state. One of them, the Orange County, i.e. the location of the Disneyland where they spent 3 days walking around under the heavy rain. The good news is there are not many long queues and one can proudly remember this trip some tenth of years later claiming it's a once in a life time opportunity to meet Mickey and Minnie Mouse in their home during such heavy rain period. One of the photos showed that they were eating lunch outside, and the soup they were trying to drink keep filling up. With their raincoats on and sitting in the sides of the road, it also reminded people of our fellow citizens in East Hasting of Vancouver. All smiling and laughing happily! Environmental conditions aside, it's really up to what inside of you to define what your emotion at that specific moment. One thing for sure, rain storm doesn't last forever, same as sunshine, or cloudy sky. They come and they go, only memories stay! And after a while, even bitter memory becomes not so bitter and later on become sweet memory. 

This evening is the Silent Night and tomorrow will be the Merry Christmas. It's a season for everyone to enjoy, for friends and families to gather, to share memories of the year (both good and bad). Life-O-Life, it can't be better!

Having a soup in a rain is a wonderful experience. Try it and you would know!

It is NOT me who is in the middle of Esther and Olivia, though we look alike!
