I think I will go to the southern island of Korea (jeju-do) with some of my friends. RedRose. I don't like winter because of the cold, but I love snow. I love snowboarding a lot!!! When I was living near Shanghai, there was no snow. I missed it soooooo much !!! But still, I don't like the cold

Maybe last year was a warm year. I was living in Wuxi, in JiangSu province. There was no snow all last winter (except one time, but it melted so quickly). I guess I was just unlucky Snow is so beautiful!

I miss the christmas that I spent with my friends in my home land.

Spring festival is for the coming of spring,and all human beings living on this earth must be going through spring therefor it makes sence that non-Chinese enjoy this festival.But Christmas is only a religion one,for celebrating the birthday of Jesus who gets no relation with people who don't believe in him,its popularity just delies on its overspreading by colonialism and cultural propaganda(invasion?),nothing more need to explain.

Then I wonder why I always waited for the Santa Clause in my childhood during Chrismas.

Considering the recent blowing up of bird flu,no eggnog will be ok and I am all for it. but cookies is needed for every hungry afternoon

[element105]

I was saying seriously

i'll probably celebrate christmas with my mom so that will be funny
But i also think - if we want to get philosphical - that christmas really needs to get back to its original meaning. here it's just like this 2oh, in 6 weeks is christmas, what will i get for present?" it's awful.. not that i don't like getting presents but that's not the idea of christmas.
some friends of mine had a brilliant idea. because bavaria is mostly catholic, it's custom to go to church on christmas. the idea was, that my friends will go to the church, too, and sit down widespread all over the church and then at the end of the sermon one (it's decided before who) will go to the priest and hug him. that's then the sign for the others to stand up and hug their neighbours so they will be animated to to the same with their neighbours until everyone hugs everyone see, that's more like the idea of christmas and charity and love and peace and friendship
what do you think of that idea? would you act like this, too, in your home church and collect some friends who also do this?
greets

Christmas has become a general fun day for a lot of non-christians, too.
And among the Christians there haven't been so many who celebrate it in the traditional way, I suppose, because I see a lot of guys being more interested in the Santa Clause/ presents/ parties/ alcohol.

But according to the question: It's seems obvious that I am a communist (ok, approximately...)
Consequently this question seems unnecessary for me to answer.
