you awesome people! it is nice to b back. i had a tough time with my computer. hope things r looking up. i am fine here. though australian weather forcast tells us we r in summer i still feel very cold. waiting for the summer. by the by we in the southern hemisphere(hope spelling is ok!)have the winter in may to sept. summer in nov. to feb. pretty funny. so awaiting a hot x. mas. these days i feel so sad looking around . the main reason is it is x-mas season! or "Santha season". australia is full of santha. i cant see a tiny picture of jesus or nativity. Santha has stolen the show. together with him all the big multi national companies with their sales promotion. i think it is a pagan x-mas i am having here. i miss the beautiful crib and the nativity play we used to put up in our parish. also going for 25 days to attend holy mass every morning in advent.i miss the thrill of visiting baby jesus in the crib and offering him all the sacrifices you made during the advent. as the poet would say "so sad so fresh the days that are no more"
hope all of you r in the peak x-mas preparation. May the Little babe Jesus in the manjor bless us all and make us happy. val attam (tail end) OH, TALIBAN, COME AND TAKE SANTHA TO AFGHAN THAT WE MAY HAVE JESUS X-MAS EVERY WHERE. lov u heaps God bless jos mathew australia Send a newsletter, share photos & files, conduct polls, organize chat events.
