I wish you a merry Christmas.

Estonia my fav.

Christmas in Argentina

In Argentina the weather is warm at Christmas. Preparations for Christmas begin very early in December and even in November.

Christmas in Bangladesh

December 25th is a public holiday for Christmas in Bangladesh even though only about 0.3% of the population, of about 170 million people, are Christians! (Over 85% of people in Bangladesh are Muslims.)

Christmas in China

In China, only about one percent of people are Christians, so most people only know a few things about Christmas. The post men might dress up as Santa when delivering letters before Christmas!

Christmas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Christmas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is more of a religious festival rather than being commercial. Most people won't have any presents.

Christmas in Estonia

In Estonia, Christmas time starts with Advent. Children put their socks on their window ledge and every day until Christmas Eve, December 24th, an elf comes and puts some sweets in it! On Christmas Eve families come together and in the evening Santa visits and asks people to tell him poems in exchange for gifts.

Christmas in Finland

Finnish people believe that Santa Claus or Father Christmas lives in the north part of Finland called Korvatunturi (or Lapland), north of the Arctic Circle. People from all over the world send letters to Santa Claus in Finland.

Christmas in India

Compared to other religious festivals, Christmas is quite a small festival in India, due to the number of people who are Christians (about 2.3%) compared to people who belong to other religions.

Christmas in Jamaica

Christmas is a very special time in Jamaica and like a lot of other countries, radio stations play carols all through the Christmas period.

Christmas in Lebanon

In Lebanon, 35% of the population follow a form of Christianity called Maronite Catholic. These Christians build manger scenes in their homes called a Nativity Crib. The crib is more popular than a Christmas Tree.

Christmas in New Zealand

In New Zealand, like its neighbor Australia, Christmas comes in the middle of the summer holidays.
Lots of people like to spend time of the beach, camping or at their Baches (holiday homes) for Christmas.

Christmas in Pakistan

In Pakistan, December 25th is a public holiday, but it is in memory of Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan.

Christmas in the Philippines

People in the Philippines like to celebrate Christmas for as long as possible! The playing of Christmas carols in shops can start in September! The formal Christmas celebrations start on 16th December when many people go the the first of nine pre-dawn or early morning masses.

Christmas in Portugal

Father Christmas ('Pai Natal') is believed to bring presents to children on Christmas Eve, rather than Christmas Day. The presents are left under the Christmas Tree or in shoes by the fireplace.

Christmas in South Africa

Because South Africa is in the Southern Hemisphere, Christmas comes in the summer. So there's lots of sun and beautiful flowers in full bloom.

Christmas in Spain

Most people in Spain go to Midnight Mass or 'La Misa Del Gallo' (The Mass of the Rooster). It is called this because a rooster is supposed to have crowed the night that Jesus was born.

Christmas in the United Kingdom

In the UK (or Great Britain), families often celebrate Christmas together, so they can watch each other open their presents!

Christmas in the United States of America

The United States of America has many different traditions and ways that people celebrate Christmas.

No Real Regrets

Looking back on my life I found one or two regrets which I consider major. Some things a mere mortal cannot change but nothing time cannot heal. Have learnt to block my thought when they tend to wander in the wrong direction.
No regrets joining CS tho as I have met absolutely great people on this site. (In real life)

Hope you have a great weekend whoever or wherever you may find yourself.

Just being Safe.

We all think we are safe in our homes, a place to relax and feel one hundred percent secure, but this is not always the case. We can achieve this, but it does take effort, and certain rules must be applied.
I think that everyone, once in his life, especially in high risk countries, has said, I wish I knew that, or I wish I had done that. Knowledge is never dear and can eliminate a lot of mistakes that we are prone to make. These mistakes are costly not only financially, but they can cause great physical suffering that we cannot put a price on, even death.

Every time I hear about a friend or family member becomes a victim of these murderous parasites I feel as if I could have done more to help.
In any combat zone its much easier to know your enemy and draw the line. In civilian life its much more difficult with friends or a family member sometimes being the perpetrator.

Here are just a few 'tips' that I can mention that could possibly be of use to friend or foe in the long haul.

If living on the ground floor or in a basement property then keep in mind that they are the most vulnerable.

Detached houses, especially when set well back from the road and screened by walls, fences, trees and bushes, are easy targets. They may suggest a wealthier lifestyle and more valuables. It is also less likely that the burglar will be observed by neighbours or passers-by. Properties backing on to vacant plots, alleyways, public parks and other routes allowing easy access (and getaway) have a greater risk of burglary. An adjacent building site or scaffolding makes a house particularly vulnerable.
You don't have to be wealthy to be burgled! Most homes have a television, stereo, video equipment or other electrical items, all relatively easy to dispose of. Small items such as cash, cameras, watches, medals and jewellery may be slipped into pockets, an important consideration if you have to leave a house by climbing out of an upstairs window!
You can improve the security of the site where you live and also make the house itself more difficult to break into. Security is also an important consideration when looking for a new home, knowing some of the high-risk factors could be one of the influences in your choice.
A home is full of dangers, having all the ingredients for disaster under one roof. Everyone is vulnerable, especially the young and the elderly. The young are inquisitive and adventurous with little sense of fear or danger. The elderly are impaired by slower reactions, forgetfulness, faulty hearing and sight.
We must protect and safeguard our homes so our family and possessions are safe. We can turn our home into a fortress by locking all doors and barring windows, but this can be counterproductive if we have a fire. So a balance must be reached where we are secure but can still evacuate the building in an emergency.
