A Winter Forecast..

It was October, and the Native Americans on a remote reservation asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like.Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.

But being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is the coming winter going to be cold?""It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold," the meteorologist at the weather service responded.So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.

A week later he called the National Weather Service again. "Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?""Yes," the man at the National Weather Service again replied, "it's going to be a very cold winter."The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.

Two weeks later he called the National Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?""Absolutely," the man replied. "It's looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters ever."

"How can you be so sure?" the chief asked. The weatherman replied, "People are collecting firewood like crazy."

Some words that I loved sharing!!!


"And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow,Stood puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?It came without ribbons! It came without tags!"It came without packages, boxes or bags!"And he puzzled three hours, `till his puzzler was sore.Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before!"Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store."Maybe Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!"
-- Dr. Seuss, How The Grinch Stole Christmas
"'Business!' cried the Ghost, wringing his hands again. 'Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!'"
- Jacob Marley
"I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future.The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me.I will not shut out the lessons that they teach."
- Ebenezer Scrooge

Christmas!!!

Have long been associated with a feeling that a jolly old man... with a long white beard... goes on distributing gifts on Christmas Eve...
But the point is...He has never come home.... never left me a gift...
He loved coming to school, maybe coz there were loads of kids there... and everyone knows that he adores kids....

Jolly old Saint Nicholas,
Lean your ear this way!
Don't you tell a single soul
What I'm going to say;
Christmas Eve is coming soon;
Now, you dear old man,
Whisper what you'll bring to me;
Tell me if you can.
When the clock is striking twelve,
When I'm fast asleep,
Down the chimney broad and black,
With your pack you'll creep;
All the stockings you will find Hanging in a row;
Mine will be the shortest one,
You'll be sure to know.
Long time have not seen the old man...
hoping that he comes this year... coz the holiday spirit has got me good this time!!!
Dear Santa... im still the child I used to be... come down the chimney, cookies waiting for you,
stockings hung, tree bedecked...
Santa love u so....
Pragnya
Merry Christmas to all!!!
And to all a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Christmas!!!

Freaking Stories!!!

Nothing original... a strange and disturbing list of true stories that one of my friends sent to me... Just wanted to share it with people...

1. The air hostess, as she passed along the aisle of the plane on the trans atlantic flight from Amsterdam to New York,
She noticed that the baby, nestled between the couple who were asleep, didn't look very well, in fact he looked extremely ill.
Not wanting to disturb anyone she gently lifted up the baby and took it back to her station.
Feeling the baby's forehead, she found it was cold and with a sudden panic she realized that the infant was dead.
Calling upon a doctor she knew to be on board, he examined the baby and confirmed that, not only was it dead, but it was embalmed.
The child's body had been hollowed out and it was full of the drugs that the couple was trying to smuggle into the States.

2. A woman living in the city was visiting some friends in Ogden.
When she got into her car in front of this friend's house, she noticed that a car started up right behind her car.
It was about 2:00 in the morning, and there weren't any other cars on the road.
After she had driven to the highway, she began to think that this car was following her.
Some of the time he would drive up real close to her car, but he wouldn't everpass.
She was really scared to death and kept speeding to try to get away from him.
When she got to Salt Lake, she started running stop lights to get away from him, but he would run right through them too.
So when she got to her driveway she pulled in really fast,andthis guy pulled in right behind her. She just laid on the horn, and herhusband came running out.
Just then,the guy jumped out of the car, and her husband ran over and said, 'What the hell's going' on here?"
So he grabbed the guy, and his wife said, "This man's followed me all the way from Ogden."
The man said, 'I followed your wife because I was going to work, and as I got into my car, I noticed when I turned my lights on, a man's head bob down in her back seat."
So the husband went over to her back-seat, opened the door, and there was a deranged man sitting on the floor with a knife in his hand.

3. In Berlin, after World War II, money was short, supplies were tight, and it seemed like everyone was hungry.
At that time, people were telling the tale of a young woman who saw a blind man picking his way through a crowd.
The two started to talk.
The man asked her for a favor: could she deliver the letter to the address on the envelope?
Well, it was on her way home, so she agreed. She started out to deliver the message, when she turned around to see if there was anything else the blind man needed.
But she spotted him hurrying through the crowd without his smoked glasses or white cane.
She went to the police, who raided the address on the envelope, where they found heaps of human flesh for sale.
And what was in the envelope?
A note saying 'This is the last one I am sending you today."

4. Two roommates remain at their deserted college dormitory over a holiday break.
One of the girls goes out on a date that evening, and the other one turns in and goes to bed before her roommate returns.
Later that night the sleeping girl is awakened by gurgling and scratching noises coming from outside the hallway door.
Frightened, she locks the door and cowers inside the room until morning.
When the girl finally opens the door and ventures outside, she discovers the bloody corpse of her roommate in the hallway.
The murdered girl's throat had been slit, and she had bled to death in the hallway while clawing at the door.

Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this", or "Why did God have to do this to me".

Here is a wonderful explanation!
A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong...she's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.

Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love your cake.""Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers. "Yuck" says her daughter. "How about a couple raw eggs?" "Gross, Mom!" "Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?" "Mom, those are all yucky!" To which the mother replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake! God works the same way."Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times.But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!


I hope your day is a "piece of cake!"Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance..............

love and roses...
