Hi everyone. I'm not a Christian and I don't celebrate Christmas by its full meaning. Earlier I share with everyone a collection of Christmas Tips from Open Tips and I hope people enjoy reading them. Now Christmas is over at my time zone but I know it's still 25th Dec in the USA so I decide to write this post to show how bloggers celebrate Christmas for the year 2007, and the past years.
How does this work?
I'm going to update this page to link to the post of bloggers who write about Christmas. Check out the links below to see a sample of how I do it.
You can help me by giving a short paragraph about your Christmas with a link to your post. If you do this by the mean of commenting, please don't forget to put your website URL so that I can properly link to it.

Myself on Christmas 2007
I went out with my girlfriend, her mother, and 2 friends. I'm still in China and I will be here for couple of months more. I found out Chinese don't actually celebrate Christmas, they only decorate for commercial purpose.
Here in Zhuhai, shopping centers decorate with Christmas signs, but homes don't. As normal, I took a lot of photos, and it's time to start sharing even though my flickr account is still intact. Time is limited, so again I can only say, photos are on the way.
Bloggers and Christmas 2007
The links start from here.
From blogs I read, comments on this page, and the BlogCatalog discussion:
- Today’s the Big Day by Simon from Yeepage Journal. He and I kept thinking about writing great posts and forget to enjoy the holiday for ourselves. Unfortunately I crashed my site and couldn't write anything.
- Happy Holidays by Collin LaHay from Increase Website Traffic. Collin LaHay wish everyone happy holidays whether it's Christmas, New Years, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Kwanzaa, or anything.
- Christmas Greeting from a Student by Haan from Labyrinth after receiving a Christmas e-card from her ex-student at USQ Australia. This reminded me of tutoring at USQ Sydney for Advanced Java Programming. I still keep in touch with my collage and ex-student Sayem, now he teaches Java in Sydney. We did have some small chat few days ago.
- Christmas Eve with the cats by Gusland from Gusland.com to share the story of what he and his cats were doing on Christmas eve. This reminded me of my dogs in Vietnam. I love them so much but I couldn't bring them with me while I travel.

- A Christmas Message! by MeghnaK from Delve into the Mind of A Budding Blogger about the message she wants to give: "Make this a cherished Christmas for yourself and another unfortunate soul!". MeghanaK is only 12 year old and her writing skill is really impressive.
- Merry Christmas by Tania from Whole Living Today tells why Christmas is celebrated. For those who love songs, there is a music video and a lyric for "Have I told you Lately (1989) up on her post.
- The True Meaning of Christmas by Fortunalee from Fortuna's Favor Rites wirtten for Answering Inane Question #437. "Are you ready for Christmas?". Fortunalee said "Bah! It *is* possible to find true meaning in the season without religion or commercialism".
- Christmas Day 2007 Peace On Earth Goodwill To Men by gbronner from Glenns Garden about his thoughts on Christmas and what it truly should be.

- Santa Claus vs. Los Reyes Magos by voicesenespanol from Voices en Español about "Santa vs los Reyes Magos: Santa meets his match in Spain". Although this post isn't about the blogger himself, but it's interesting enough for me to link to.

- Christmas Ornaments by Cromely . The post is a reflection on the Christmas ornaments Cromely made as a kid and how comforting it is to see them on the tree today. It's also a chance to tell his favorite bad Christmas joke.

I myself is not ready to advertise anything because this is not a commercial website. Congrats to anyone who win the contest.

hi Binh. On 24th, it was quiet in the office. Network was down in the morning, and air-cond was not functioning well in the afternoon. damn. at night i met with my college mates in heavy rain for Taiwanese food. When I got home, I received an e-card from my student, thought of some moments in USQ, then I blogged about it.
On 25th, I met with few high school mates. Went to a place where normally I won't go (too crowded). could feel the very "commercialized" xmas season
later watched a movie by Ann Lee that made me realized something, took a kip and read up some info for my coming Chiang Mai trip.
Sounds dull. but for me, it's ok. I'm not young anymore to have one filled with activities from day to night

Hello! Here's the url to (one of) my Christmas posts: http://mumsgotta.com/christmas-eve-in-our-corner-of-the-world/
A family Christmas, with in-laws, aunt & uncle, us and our 6 kids - 12 in all. We celebrate on Christmas Eve in this country, and everyone had a lovely, (relatively) relaxed time. We give out the pressies one by one (we enjoy seeing what everyone gets, and their reactions...), so that took some time with all the kids!
Christmas Day was spent with the in-laws and a lovely turkey lunch. Hubby and I both fell asleep after lunch, I'm ashamed to say...
I'm off to post & link to you now... Holiday Cheers to you!
