HAPPY XMAS TO YOU ALL!

(Thirty years ago, on December 8, 1980, I was in NYC and, while strolling around, I saw a crowd in front of the Dakota...) 
But today is a Happy Day! My daughter arrived safely! Thanks, God!


Happy Christmas, by John Lennon
xxxx(Happy Christmas, Yoko)
xxxx(Happy Christmas, Julian)
And so this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so Happy Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
xxxxA very Merry Christmas
xxxxAnd a Happy New Year
xxxxLet's hope it's a good one
xxxxWithout any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
The rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so Happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
xxxxA very Merry Christmas
xxxxAnd a Happy New Year
xxxxLet's hope it's a good one
xxxxWithout any fear
...the war is over ...
...if you want it...
...the war is over...
...now...

WHITE CHRISTMAS

My daughter is grounded at Heathrow.
------------------------------------------------------
WHITE CHRISTMAS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HrAy5xqzOs
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
-----------------------------------------------------
Please, snow, stop! It's enough!

INTER ALIA / INTER ALIOS

         The term inter alia (meaning “among other things”) [entre outras coisas) is one of the few Latin phrases that is still widely used, both in legal and non-legal writing.
        When referring to people, the phrase inter alios, which means “among other people”[entre outros], should be used.
