Piles of presents

Label: - 19 Desember 2010

Gift have been part of christmas ever since the kings ɑnd shepherds brought presents for Jesus. Families ɑnd friends buy each other presents, but other people bring them too. Long ago in Turkey, there lived a bishop named Nicholas. Nicholas loved to give children presents ɑnd help the poor. He was such a good man he became St. Nicholas. Today he's known as Santa Claus or father Christmas.

A story about St Nicholas why stockings are left out :
There was once a man who had three daughters, but he was too poor to pay for their weddings. 'We'll never be married' sighed one, as she washed their stockings ɑnd hung them over the fire to dry. St Nicholas was walking by ɑnd heard her. Late that night, he dropped a shower of golden coins down the chimney. When the sisters found the gold in their stockings, they were thrilled. Their father was delighted, 'it must be a gift from St Nicholas' he smiled.

Some say that St Claus lives at the North Pole, or in Lapland, which is nearby. Every year, millions of children send him letters, saying what they'd like in their stockings for Christmas. Santa packs his bulging sack ɑnd sets off on his sleigh, pulled by nine flying reindeer.

Santa isn't the only person to bring presents at Christmas. Italian children wait for La Befana, a kind, old witch. She didn't join the kings to visit Jesus because she had to sweep her house. Now she searches for the baby every Christmas, leaving presents as she goes. In Sweden, children leave out a bowl of porridge for the Tomte, a gnome who lives under the floorboards. Children in Syria leave out hay, for the three kings' youngest camel. In the morning, the hay was vanished ɑnd presents are there instead. In Germany, children write letters to a Christmas angel called the Christkind, asking him to leave their parents under the tree. People open their presents at different times too. In Holland, the paper is torn off on St. Nicholas Day, December 6th. In Scandinavia ɑnd Germany, Christmas Eve is the big night. Then Christmas morning is free for church ɑnd visiting friends.
But in Britain, Australia, the US ɑnd many other countries, everyone has to wait for Christmas Day. For hundred of years, presents came without cards, until in 1843, an artist named John Callcot Horsley invented the first ever Christmas card. Now more than ten thousand million Christmas cards are sent every year.

I'm wondering, is there anyone read my blog? because i never publish it anywhere. but knowing no one knows my url blog (unless them who followed me, which only a several number), lift up my confidence to write more more and more.
It's monday morning and i supposed to hate it, but today i skip my first class, and fortunately the second class' lecturer won't be able to come, soooo i'll stay at home until noon! what a wonderful monday, right?
I'm kind of enjoying my life right now. i'm not thinking about my past anymore, and the most important thought is i didn't regret EVERYTHING happened, all the good and bad. I believe everything happened for a reason, we just haven't figure out the reasons. it will take a long time i guess, just like my friend said 'time will heal'. Don't you think so? Time really heals. Let's see several months from now, or it might take years, everything will be fine. You will look back to your past, and smile for everything, and grateful because it happened its way. :)

feel so much blessed :)

Heyy, it's friday night and i looooove it so damn much! tomorrow gonna be quite a busy day, but without any plan to hangout on satnight. no problem ;)
i'm listening to taylor swift's Speak Now album. such a wonderful album and a lot of nice songs. some of them remind me of my situation, the one titled Never Grow Up reminds me of my mom since it was a song from a mom to her child. you should listen to them!
i was in a confused thought these last days. i was thinking of you, and how different you are right now. i can't deny that i miss you sometimes. but whom i miss is not really you, i miss the old you. and i should thank you because you have changed, and made this much more easier for me, because i can't find the person i missed. i was disappointed in you and how you changed. i took a pity to your mom and dad, how they concerned about you but you never realize it. i was sad when i knew your mom wished us to back together. it's impossible i knew, both of us knew. how pathetic. but anyway, i also realized i don't have any right to take care about you anymore, so whatever you did, you knew it so well, you knew the consequences, you knew the risks. all i going to do is pray for you, as always :)
And anyway i don't get it, well i got it but i'm not sure. why did you keep your anger? and dealing with it? just let it go, everything happened for a reason, just believe. i wish i could say everything i wrote here to you. but i know you too well. you, with your high pride, won't listen to me again. someone who had break your heart, even actually we break each other's heart, don't you agree?
You said i'll always special for you. but i know, it's just a simple lie. if you turn to hate me, i'll understand. i won't hate you, since you used to make me smile, since you have filled my heart for more than a year, since we have soooo many sweet memories, and since i loved you. i'll pray the best for you dear :)

oh btw i knew you'll never read this, so why did i write this post? -___- well i just want to write, maybe someday some months or even some years from now, you'll read this.

i think i'm in love
