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,


mmm , well, my family "celebrates" every holiday there is in my country but I find it stupid.. Xmas, Carnival, East Term...!! I don't even have motivation for it.. I wish goodness for everybody and that's it !!!

Oh? you can buy yourself some ZhongZi even in US? that's amazing. I didn't know people can buy everything in US.

As for me, I don't think ZhongZi tastes good. plus, it surely can put some weight on you. but that's not the reason I don't like it. Very Happy

They are very difficult to find in the US. I have had them every time I went to China and Taiwan.

I have also made them. I'm a little clumsy wrapping the sticky rice correctly in the bamboo leaf though. They are always too fat or too skinny. Embarassed

To celebrate is good to your health. That means you still have some feeling for sometjing. so just do it , when you are touched for the day deserved. By the way of celebration, your friends would know your wishes for them, right?
