Party hat

Christmas Day was filled with fun, presents and good food. No need for a paper party hat, though, as Uncle N had brought me a terrific new hat all the way from China ... xièxiè Uncle N!


"We love and lose in China,
we weep on England's moors,
and laugh and moan in Guinea,
and thrive on Spanish shores.

We seek success in Finland,
are born and die in Maine.
In minor ways we differ,
in major we're the same.

I note the obvious differences
between each sort and type,
but we are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike."

(Maya Angelou - from Human Family)
