How do you know it is almost Christmas?



Our CEO got these from “The Book of Holiday Awesome”, and shared them with us. Now I am going to share with you:


1. Getting a Christmas card from someone you thought you lost touch with
2. Going into a grocery store and seeing the first shipment of eggnog
3. Plugging you Christmas lights in from last year and having them all work
4. That moment when there’s suddenly cookies, chocolates and candy everywhere
5. When your neighbor shovels your little patch of the sidewalk
6. When strangers wish you happy holidays
7. Eating all your chocolates in your Advent calendar at once
8. The smell of a fresh Christmas tree
9. Pulling out that old box of Christmas ornaments from when you were a kid
10. Finally finding the start of the roll of tape
11. Eating the first freshly baked cookie from the oven even though it’s way too hot
12. Forgetting you ordered a gift online and having it randomly show up
13. Just barely wrapping a gift with that tiny scrap of leftover paper
14. Nailing the perfect move in a Board game on Christmas Eve
15. When the Christmas tree gives the only light in the room
16. Waking up and realizing it is Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones

Salute to Vienna

My desire to go to the concert of Salute to Vienna starts from the moment I found its brochure in Toronto on our vacation at the end of October. We decided to make it as the entertainment of the start of a new year at that time. However, as my husband's busy work schedule, we postponed the plan again and again. On the website, it is said that it will be presented by the finest local musicians, dancers and singers, which makes me so eager to check it out!



Hope I still have the chance to go!!

I don't want to miss it.

I have fish babies!!

When the family are busy preparing the Christmas, our fish mom sent us Christmas gifts as well! Thank you for my husband to notice fish mom's big belly. Now we have around 20 babies roaming in the tank.

To share some fish patterns

It reminds me of the patterns on china

Angelina's bachelors--- A novel with food

I have received my three chapters trails of Angelina's Bachelors last week, and I found myself addictive to it. Who can resist the temptation of good food?

+FROM THE BOOK JACKET+

Far too young to be a widow, Angelina D’Angelo suddenly finds herself facing a life without her beloved husband, Frank. Late one night shortly after the funeral, she makes her way down to the kitchen and pours all of her grief and anger into the only outlet she has left—her passion for cooking. In a frenzy of concentration and swift precision, she builds layer upon layer of thick, rich lasagna, braids loaves of yeasty bread, roasts plump herb-rubbed chicken; she makes so much food that she winds up delivering the spoils to the neighbors in her tight-knit Italian community in South Philadelphia.


Retiree Basil Cupertino, who has just moved in with his kindly sister across the street, is positively smitten with Angelina’s food. In a stroke of good fortune, Basil offers Angelina (not only husbandless but unemployed) a job cooking for him—two meals a day, six days a week, in exchange for a handsome salary. Soon, word of her irresistible culinary prowess spreads and she finds herself cooking for seven bachelors—and in the process discovers the magical power of food to heal, to bring people together . . . and maybe even to provide a second chance at love.

I have to said this book triggers my desire to renew my library card.

Christmas NBA Games

My husband and I have been busy shopping since the beginning of December. We have to decided to combine Spring Festival and Christmas together to make it fun and special this year. Another thing to make this Christmas so exciting, is that NBA is going to back on track on December 25!! We have planned to crouch on sofa and watch the games for a whole day.

Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd were finally the NBA champions last year!
I witnessed  this, and want to see more to come.

Let it snow

Christmas is approaching. Our Christmas tree "dressing" project has mostly come to the end. It is always fun to climb up and down to put on ribbons and all kinds of cute ornaments.

 This year, we have found adorable snowmen lights in Wal-Mart. They are playing hide and seek on the tree now. Since we set up the lights and candles, the first thing when I arrive home now is to turn on the light of our Christmas tree to greet my family and other neighbors!!

It is said that we only have about 47% chance to have a white Christmas according to some science research.

Please

LET IT SNOW!!!
