Here's another pic of Mayakovsky (see earlier post). If they made a movie about him he would have to be played by Johnny Depp, don't you think?

Merry Christmas to all who participate in the World Literature Forum. Hopefully Santa will bring all of you plenty of amazing books.

Yes, Merry Christmas to you, Eric, and to everyone else here at the WLF.

What Child is This,
Who, laid to rest,
on Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
while shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ, the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
the Babe, the Son of Mary.

Venite adoremus Dominum.

May the Holidays bring You the Special Gifts of Family, Friendship and Peace.

...and... a beautiful poem by none other than James Joyce (It's a boy):

Of the dark past
A child is born;
With joy and grief
My heart is torn.

Calm in his cradle
The living lies.
May love and mercy
Unclose his eyes.

Young life is breathed
On the glass;
The world that was not
Comes to pass.

A child is sleeping:
An old man gone.
O, father forsaken,
Forgive your son.

That was beautiful. Thanks Liam.

Merry Christmas to all alter egos, doppelgangers, spammers, trolls and any genuine personalities that may post in this place. Pax.

Joyeux noel a tous.

To one and all:

Let us remember that the true spirit of Christmas is embodied only when we open our hearts to those around us and extend our love, charity, and generosity fearlessly and freely. May we forgive and forget those who have hurt us, put our mistakes behind us, and connect with the joy of the present moment. . .the divine energy of Christmas and this magical holiday season!

Merry Christmas to all and Warmest Wishes for an Extraordinary 2010!

Blessings, love, & seasonal bliss,
Alexis (titania7)

Merry Christmas! Though, it is well and truly Boxing Day here now.

I think this video sums up Christmas in Australia (though, granted, it was raining for most of yeaterday afternoon here in Sydney...):

This would be a typical Korean greeting for a new year:

새해 복 많이 받으세요 (May you receive plenty of luck!)

Bonne Ann?e!

2010 is a year of the tiger.
