2008-update
This Christmas e-card is really a must to enjoy. A blogger-friend has sent it to me and it is a wonderful link! Thanks Eilandkind!This first image comes from this link.
And enjoy this Christmas-video with the music of Sweet People
Now you can listen to John Lennon with…”So this is Christmas”! Enjoy!
Merry Christmas to you all! No exception! Everyone reading here and anyone visiting this blog, wherever you are, if you celebrate Christmas, I want you to have a wonderful day! Be safe, wherever you travel, enjoy whatever you do!
HAPPY Christmas!
Hope you play lots of Chess games over Christmas!
2007-entry ..you will find this entry on the 17/12/2007..too…but only some of what’s in this post!
Harvey, one of the friendly chess players on the chess site, has sent me the link of this beautiful song, sang by the Celtic Woman, to wish me a Merry Christmas and I want to share it with everyone visiting my blog with the message: Merry Christmas to you all! May the Love of Jesus surround you during this special time of year and I hope you all will be having a fantastic time wherever you will be and whatever the weather! If you have to travel, travel safely!! Click on this Christmas-link to download a PDF-document with about 10 beautiful images about Christmas. It was sent to me by one of my Chess friends as a PPT and I’m sure you would like it too. It takes a few secs to download as it’s a big file. And here are two more links about Christmas on my blog. All links will open in a new window. If you leave me a message with your email, I can send you this wonderful Powerpoint Slideshow with animation and music, so beautifully done and you can enjoy it too! Unfortunately, I can’t upload it here on the blog.

Chessalee 
what is a blessing?
how does one count blessings?
are they like bonus points on life credit card?
can one redeem them like air miles? – but a oneway to heaven?
how does one even know if or when been blessed
like my cup,
my blessings bag feels always empty
does it mean I have never received any?
😀
Just kidding.
Seasons Greetings to you too.
( sotto voce: in bengali it would be shubho khrismas –
shubho nabo barsho is for the new year )
hi LittleIndian! I miss your other ava..it was a cute Indian-boy!! 🙂 thanks for the Greetings, hope you will have a wonderful time too! I’m quite sure your bag of blessings are quite heavy, start counting…you’ll see, you won’t be able to stop… 🙂
Hi, its snowing here. Really festive.
The cute Indian-boy,
now lets see who the ‘littleindian’ could be? 😀
Hi LittleIndian, I still miss your other littleindian-ava… he was just so cute! 🙂 glad you like the snow too! wish WordPress could have some “sunshine” when it’s summer lol! now be a good littleindian and bring back your littleindian ava! 🙂
It is WordPress and Gravatar link up that has frightened him off. He is trying to find a way to return,
but requests a pre-condition – ie
if you write anything on the Aus V Proteas cricket series,
he will stay if you agree to post some on Silly Points too.
🙂 Welcome “back” littleindian! you made my day!lol! ok, but you will have to wait for this weekend, as I’m busy with an assignment that’s due this Friday! and lots of other stuff too for this week!
Pragtige Kersinskrywing Nikita!
Sal jy asb vir my die Powerpoint Presentation aanstuur? Jy het mos my epos adres.
Sterkte met jou werksopdrag vir die week!

Lovely stuff, Nikita, and I hope you don’t mind closer to the time me using one or two images [linked of course]. Merry Christmas to you too.

You are nuts, m’lady. (apologies to the 2 ronnies)
Hi, only if you are writing any on the cricket tour.
hi Jameshigham! Thank you! You are most welcome to use the images, I’ve got them from google too..long ago and I think one is from the pdf-document..help yourself, please!
Hi littleindian… 🙂 apologies accepted… and hey, I’m not up-to-date with the cricket now as I’m quite busy for the past couple of weeks with some studies/assignment…so will have to jump onto the BBC for some support! lol!
Hi Nikita!

You seem to know lots about the game… soooo much more than me! I love how you put all of the different languages of Merry Christmas… it was really interesting… Please come visit my blog at:
