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!!!
