What would you expect when you get to the Christmas tree on Christmas day? Toys? iPhone? Ipad? No, think about it again, Christmas is all about Jesus, so on Christmas Day we should first go to church then open your presents later.
You should be thankful for the wonderful presents that you’ve received and also thankful to the people who gave you gifts because without them you wouldn’t have any. Regardless of what gifts you receive, you should be thankful for that because there are many people who don’t even have a home to live, nor food to eat and not to mention about receiving gifts for Christmas because their family can’t afford any of these luxuries. If you happen to receive two of the same gifts, please do donate it to St Vincent De Paul or another charitable organisation. People will appreciate what you have done for them on this wonderful occasion.
You will be very happy about the good deed that you have done. Also, don’t get upset with the gifts that you receive. It might not be your ideal Christmas gift but receive it with a thankful heart, treasure it or donate it if you wish. So have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Natalia Chung

讓我們緊跟耶穌，過輕鬆快樂的日子
在福音中，耶穌告
訴我們，“你們背起我的軛，跟我學吧，因為我是良善心謙的：這樣你們必會得到安息：因為我的軛是柔和的，我的擔子是輕鬆的”（瑪11：20﹣30）。聽了耶穌這句話，或許，我們會感到困惑，因為在生活中，我們並不覺得我們的軛和擔子是柔和與輕鬆的。不過，如果我們靜下心來，默想一下耶穌曾經講過的話及耶穌曾經做過的事，再想想我們為什麼會覺得生活並不輕鬆，也許，我們就能明白這句話的深意。………………………(詳細內容請點擊下面連結)
洲已經九年多了。在澳洲這麼多年，確實學到了很多不同類型的知識，其中有學術性的、常識性的、娛樂性的。除了這些之外，還有一件事，令我大開眼界。在國內時，人們也常常把它掛在嘴邊，但不夠真正重視。在澳洲，幾乎人人都重視這件事情。可以說，這件事是我在澳洲這麼多年來所學到的最重要的知識之一。這件事就是休假。………………………(詳細內容請點擊下面連結)
