The weather here is really helping us get into the spirit. Cold and rainy. Of course you have to understand a term like cold is relative. My Wunderground link says it is 61 in Taipei now. I have on a light jacket. This morning on the way to language study I rode the scooter (not raining at the time) and it was pretty nippy. When I was finished and rode home it was drizzling and even cooler. Most of the locals are wearing hoods, scarves, and gloves now 
I just chased a link to the cover of Newsweek to see what they have to say about Christianity. I guess the major magazines want to appeal to the Christmas spirit also. It says that 79% of Americans believe in the virgin birth of Jesus and 77% believe the entire biblical Christmas story is historically accurate. If that is true why don’t 77-79% of Americans live like they believe it? Wouldn’t you think if the creator of the universe supernaturally put Jesus on the earth, there was a purpose for it? Hmmmmmm . . . .
