26 December 2003
this Christmas has been uniquely quiet for me, what with mom departing a few weeks previous and dad leaving for winter conference yesterday evening. nonetheless, i was given ample opportunity to reflect on His birth and how it has forever changed human history, and of course, the surprise long-distance phone call from my BFF made it that much more joyful (btw, kerry and cherry, she loved both the duck and the card!).

special thanks to all those who have given of themselves through e-cards, cards, gifts and well wishes. i treasure it all, especially the day with my WT <- look forward to more in the year ahead! hot topic, you say? ^^ and you gotta love old school nintendo!

no push-and-shove shopping today (it's all being taken care of in HK); instead i watched "willy wonka and the chocolate factory" for the first time ever, and it brought back memories of spending hours reading and rereading this classic children's tale. the lesson? greed never pays, but simplicity does! (poor veruca, violet, mike, and augustus...)

CONGRATS, QUENTIN and JULIE!! may you come to know Him through your new journey together.

nick, thanks for all your care and prayers. enjoy urbana - it's going to be awesome!!
