Happy Xmas At Home Eating Stollen

The internet now brings the world to your doorstep. I've enjoyed stollen, the marzipan filled Xmas cake from Germany, bought from a local supermarket.
   I read in the newspapers about the people stranded at airports over Xmas and realised although I was not travelling I was lucky to be warm and dry and well fed with food from around the world. Today boxing day, remembering the Tsunami, just sitting calmly at a computer seems a happy day.
   A good news story was conjoined twins who have been successfully separated, spending Xmas in hospital dressed in Santa's little helper Santa suits.
   A lesson to the rest of us to stop complaining about sleepless nights, shortage of money, delays at airports, missing Xmas presents. You know what - you just don't realise how lucky you are. Things could be a lot worse. Delighted to see the successful op and happy parents. And their dear little older brother stroking them obviously appreciate the improvement in his siblings and how the family must all pull together and celebrate each other's successes.
