I don't celebrate Ramadan.

I don't celebrate Christmas.

I don't celebrate Hanukkah.

I don't celebrate Kwanzaa.

I don't celebrate the Winter Solstice.

What I do celebrate is the best wishes, the kind thoughts, the good will, the yearning for peace and hope for the future so many cultures share and express as we pass through this season.

I wish you all health, joy, peace, prosperity, and a joyous celebration - whatever it is you celebrate - in this holiday and in the coming year.

Love you all. No, Really! I do.

Spread it around a bit,

I learned Chinese because I study Taoist philosophy.

I like to share. Smile

The other reason why beancurdturtle learns Chinese is that he loves Chinese girls. Especially hot Chinese girls. if he dosen't learn Chinese, how can he get what Chinese girls talk about?

The first Chinese characters beancurdturtle learnt were: 我爱你!
