莎賓娜的笑眼看人生

I went to Helen's hotpot party yesterday. Even though it was terribly dark, foggy and cold outside, the wonderful round-table dinner in her warm kitchen was such a delight, beating off the rubbish weather which was exactly the same as Charles Dicken's Christmas Carol. Today, before leaving for Cyprus, Peggy and Eric invited me over for their party. They've got so much great food--salmon sushi, grilled ribs, lobster, salad with Japanese dip, shrimp, banana cake, and nice red wine and plum wine. The best thing, however, is their hospitality and all the laughter in the fun chat. I've also got so many warm seasonal greetings from my friends in different corners of the world and MA students at Warwick. That's why I like Christmas--not for the commercial atmosphere created by the business persons but for the real care and sharing among people.
Thank you all, my dear friends!! Will try to leave some messages here while I'm in Cyprus. *^_^*
