. . The more I looked into happiness and thought about it, the more interesting it became. In one way happiness is a set of chemical rewards that we get for doing things that are programmed into our genes as good. In another way happiness is drug addiction. And in yet another way it is a mode of communications. It is those, but it is also one of the things that ties humans together into families and communities. It isn't surprising that people become addicted to drugs that artificially ...

Another she elf. Well. Mum posted the cards and ordered the bird while she was out. We went shopping. Got almost everything for Christmas now. The only thing on my earlier list of things to do is get presents and decorate. I got a jar of mincemeat but I also got some readymade pastry. Why do they call it mincemeat when it's not meat?

Following are some issues, which are reminded by Ahmadiyya Khalifah (may Allah be his ...
Santa. I did it. 21 cards. I made another 7 last night, that's 14 in one day. Today we went to get the tree. Left it a bit late, the place was pretty much picked clean of anything just shy of 5ft and over. But we got one. It's quite a bushy one too. I'm not sure whether to call it Bushy or The Tree of Doom. Also got a wreath. Never had one before. Nowhere to put it. I decided to put it on the back of the door, so we can see it every day. It's kind of over the doorbell. ...
