Merry Christmas for My Friends and Family
By Jian Shuo Wang on 2005-12-25 00:01 · Westen HolidaysMerry Christmas! The Christmas Eve arrives.
I’d like to send my Christmas gifts to a lot of people. As the saying: “Friends are the flowers in the garden of lives.” I love all my “flowers”. Merry X’mas to them.
Merry Christmas to Carroll
and Jim
. You gave me most of the “Christmas feeling” for sending me may X’mas greetings and inviting me to the trimming tree party. Hope you have a wonderful new year.

Ops. It was already a long list, but it is only very small part of people I want share the happiness of a holiday with. (Sorry if your name is not here, or not in a way that you can easily discover. It is only the top of mind names at in a massy brain of about 1:00 AM). I cherish every day we spent together and expecting for great years to come. When I was at Carroll’s party, many of hers and Jim’s friends went to the party almost every years in the last 35 years! What an accomplishment. I cannot imagine that before to have close and sincere friends for that long period of time. What I learnt was, to cherish every friendship I have and maintain it as long as life lasts…
Look back, I am proud to see how many brililiant friends I have in my garden of life. I hope I am also one of the flower in yours.

All the best for a healthy and happy New Year!
Holiday Hugs,
I found your blog while trying to gather information on the Pudong Airport. I will arrive there in four days. You blog is by far the best source of information I've found, and I wanted to drop you a note thanking you for all the help. I feel a lot more comfortable about my first trip to China--I am very excited about visiting Shanghai
I don't speak or read Chinese and hope that simply handing a taxi driver a piece of paper with my hotel name and address in central Shanghai is going to do the trick (written in Chinese).
Thanks again and Merry Christmas,
Tony
