上週五（12/17），收到Jill的聖誕卡，是今年第一封。接著在23號接到美國的朋友Arine的卡片及一個小禮物。其他人都以簡訊回覆與祝福，雖然陽春卻也迅速。而今年，我寄了大概有15封的卡片。

本來在聖誕節前夕，我們有個羊肉爐聖誕餐會，但是因為我們的好友Terry感染感冒，所以延後。希望Terry早日康復，我們才可以完成我們的餐聚。

25號是個又濕又冷的一天，我以為聖誕節的氣氛會因此減少許多。但是到了西門町一趟才發現，人還是多的要命，加上外來的觀光客跟應景的佈置，聖誕節的氣氛還真是風雨無阻。

First, Merry Christmas to all.

On 15th, Dec. I got my first Christmas card from Jill, and then I received a card and a gift from Arnie who lives in the US. Some friends sent me back by text messages, it’s simple but also fast. I sent about 15 cards this year.

We were planing a Xmas goat hot pot meeting on Xmas Eve, but our friend Terry caught the flu. We had to make another date. I hope Terry will recover soon, and then we can go to another goat hot pot  meeting.

25th is a wet and cold day. I thought the Xmas atmosphere would be reduced a little bit. However, there were a lot people in Xi-Men-Ding. There were many visitors from overseas and the Xmas decorations make it feel more like  Xmas. The feeling can’t be stopped by the rain and the cold air.

I don’t remember how long it is been since I stopped writing this blog. Maybe three or four years I guess. After making a back up, I deleted the old journals from this blog. Lately, something came to mind that makes me want to restart this blog again. I’d like to record my life in a good way, and so..let’s get on the road again.
