Hi friends,
I'll be having my 1st hot Christmas here in Brisbane. The temperature here is different with HK, US or in Europe but it doesn't affect our passion for commemorating the birth of our Saviour.
First of all, I wish you all brothers and sisters in Christ a healthy body and a joyful spirit. And particularly for those who stand in the cross road of where life could be headed, and that they will soon be inspired, and come to know God.
Here I would like to greet you with these special music videos. Hope you enjoy.

Danny Boy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jgma--0WYU&feature=relatedLyrics: Frederick Edward Weatherly (1848-1929)
Original vocal: Elsie Griffin (1895 – 1989)
Music: Irish Anthem, from Londonderry Air
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
The song has been interpreted by some listeners as a message from a parent to a son going off to war or leaving as part of the Irish Diaspora.
