There is something drastically wrong here



The Royal Mint says it is hard to profile especially "young" people on a coin, well, yes, I always thought they've done, and been, doing an excellent job for the Queen. Come on, this young couple deserve better!



The Royal Mint is not the only one that made a blunter. The money printing effort at the Fed also gone wrong - 1 billion bills are waiting to be sorted out. Exactly what went wrong?

At Christmas, we are reminded that although love can also go wrong - the love from the divine and family are at least more robust and better than what comes out of the Fed or the Royal Mint.

December

Well, it is the festive season again. Malls are busy, families are busy, shops are busy. You walk into Chadstone (a huge mall in Melbourne) and literally, everyone is after your money.


In much of the secular societies around the world, people will be celebrating Christmas. There is nothing wrong with that, just like it is norm for people of all background to celebrate the Lantern Festival that is now a landmark event in Auckland's Albert Park every February. You don't have to have Chinese blood to share the tradition and enjoy the festive ambient.

For Christians, Christmas is more than an ordinary festive season. And I applaud the following clips from this website. Using vivid, simple graphics, the message can't be illustrated better.
