This is the message of Christmas: We are never alone.

Eric Sevareid
As long as we know in our hearts what Christmas ought to be, Christmas is.

Burton Hillis, Better Homes and Gardens
The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.

why do the bells of christmas ring?
why di little children sing?
Once alovely shining star,
seen by shepherds from afar,
gently moved until it’s light,
made a mangere’s cradle bright.
there a darling baby lay,
pillowed soft upon the hay;
and its mother sung and smiled,
“This is Christ, the holy Child!”
Therefore bells for Christmas ring,
Therefore little children sing.

May this Christmas greeting
find you and yours
in good spirits, ready to
celebrate the gifts
of peace and joy
with friends and loved ones!

Merry Christmas
may all your dreams and wishes
come true in the new year love.

May the spirit of
Christmas bring you peace,
The gladness of Christmas
give you hope,
The warmth of Christmas
grant you love
Merry Christmas

I will honor
Christmas in my
heart, and try
to keep it all
the year.
Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas
Christmas waves a magic of wand over
this world, and behold,
everything is softer and more beautiful.

At Christmas be merry
and thank God of all
and feast thy poor neighbours
the great and the small.
The flying snow flakes send my most
sincere blessings to you!
Merry Christmas!!

See all this smiles…
It’s because
we work with you!
Merry Christmas from all of us!

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play.
And the wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth.
good-will to men!

“I am not alone at all,
I thought. I was never
alone at all.
And that, of
course, is the message of
Christmas. We are
never alone. Not when the
night is darkest,the wind
coldest, the world
seemingly most
indifferent. For this is
still the time God chooses.”

“Let us keep Christmas Beautiful
Without a thought of greed,
That it might live forevermore
To fill our every need,
That it shall not be just a day,
But last a lifetime through,
The miracle of Christmas time.
That brings God close to you”.

“There’s more much more, to Christmas
Than candlelight and cheer;
it’s the spirit of sweet friendship
that brightens all year.
It’s thoughtfulness and kindness,
It’s hope reborn again,
For peace, for understanding,
And for goodwill to men!”

christmas, my child, is love
in action, Every time we love,
every time we give, it’s Christmas.

Except the Christ be born
again tonight
in dreams of all men,
saints and sons of shame,
the world will never see
his Kingdom bright.

Christmas is the happiest, loveliest
festival of the revolving year,
one day of the year to remind us
that we’re here for something
also besides ourselves.

Lauren Laverne: new season, new look

Autumn fashions

There used to be only four tastes in cooking – then there were five. In 1908, Professor Kikunae Ikeda of the University of Tokyo unlocked the scientific secret of a flavour he named "umami". It had been around forever, of course, but had yet to be defined. It was the palate-sating, savoury essence that Auguste Escoffier (in whose etymological honour we "scoff" our food) had used to revolutionise French cuisine a few decades before Ikeda's discovery.
A subtle taste that is hard to detect on its own, umami mixes well with other flavours, which it expands and lends a satisfying depth and complexity. Umami is what makes food sink-back-in-your-seat-and-close-your-eyes delicious. (Breastmilk is loaded with umami, which may explain our penchant for it.) It is also the flavour of autumn. Of broths and stock and Parmesan, of meat and red wine.
So, as autumn approaches, this week's column is dedicated to that taste's place in our wardrobe. It goes without saying that clothes which mix well with stuff you already have are the holy grail of shopping. In addition, autumn clothes should be as satisfying as a hearty roast dinner (this is the season to find lasting love, not a one-night-stand dress) and comforting, too. It can't be coincidental that year upon year the autumn/winter collections contain Proustian touchstones to fondly remembered times: weathered leather, retro prints, traditional fabrics… It's umami fashion. With this in mind, here are a few items to complement the existing flavours in your wardrobe, making you look delectable.
Back-to-school shoes I have my eye on some lovely Boden loafers, which have the scholarly appeal of a new pencil case; or splash out on heart-motif ones from Opening Ceremony, or a fringed pair by Chloé.
Snuggly cashmere Johnstons of Elgin has been around since 1717 and is still the best in the business (it also has a lovely tearoom if you happen to be close enough to visit the Hawick factory). Throw on its comforting grey jumper when the temperature drops.
Supercool dress There's an LnA number that is easy to wear and will layer a treat.
Saving for a Mulberry Bayswater? Might take a while. In the meantime, try a retro-leather satchel from Stylistpick.
Stompy boots Acne Pistols are My-Wardrobe's bestsellers and make anything you pair them with look considerably cooler. Perfect for autumn. Note that the heel is not high enough to inhibit leaf-kicking. Zara and Hobbs also do more pocket friendly versions.

Best Men's swimwear

10:07 PM samy ibrahim Hamed No comments

Men's Swimwear: After an Olympic fortnight full of fancy sportswear, mirrored swimming goggles and amazing bodies, you would be forgiven for feeling a trifle lacking in the confidence department on the beach this summer. And yet there have never been so many acceptable swimwear options for men: Speedos now mingle alongside board shorts and sporty retro styles on the beach.
But there are still plenty of potential pitfalls. For example, under no circumstances, unless you are actually David Beckham, should you ever wear white swimmers, particularly tight ones. Aside from the obvious see-through factor, there is something too flashy about wearing anything tight and white on a beach.
If white is flashy then wearing a woolie beanie with a swim suit is plain daft. Step forward Louis Tomlinson of One Direction during a trip to Sydney. The sunglasses-and-hat balancing act is already tricky but why would you wear a wool hat in a temperature hot enough to go topless?
On a practical note, don't underestimate the importance of the lining of your trunks: some mesh linings can be aggravating – American Apparel's softer fabric inners are particularly comfy. Plus, if you're doing a lot of swimming, think carefully about your trunk's shape. Cult label Orlebar Brown has launched a new sportier range, which is cheaper than its main line, and features swim-friendly shapes and details.
And lastly, body hair. Just because a lot of celebrities and professional swimmers shave all theirs off don't feel you have to follow suit. There is nothing worse than fantastic trunks with a stubbly chest.

The OO7: short and tight

Daniel Craig's Casino Royale tight baby-blue GrigioPerla trunks, currently on display at the Barbican's Bond exhibition, have been held up as the beacon of modern swimwear since 2006. Meanwhile, the Skyfall trailer promises more blue swimwear. The Craig trunk is a deep cut – it's tight but it doesn't look like knickers. See also Matt Damon in a migraine-inducing neon yellow pair in The Talented Mr Ripley. These trunks require confidence, though with less fabric flapping about, they are practical for swimming. The high street reports strong sales for shorter lengths, though if tight and short is too hard, try a retro sports style. Think Prince Charles in the 1980s – a look American Apparel does well.

Olympian Speedos

Will the nation's love for Tom Daley turn into briefs sales? Super-tiny ones at that? Stella McCartney joked that these were the hardest bit of the Team GB kit to design because there wasn't any room for the pattern. The US swimmer Ryan Lochte (above) was flying the patterned Speedo flag during the games, too, though before you snaffle up a pair, remember they do also have the potential to go a bit Rod Stewart. Sportier styles are your safest bet. This week, images of Michael Phelps, in a bath, wearing tight trunks and goggles have appeared online. Apparently, the swimmer is to front a forthcoming ad campaign for Louis Vuitton (there's a bag by the bath), though the French brand is currently offering a "no comment" on this matter.

The jet-set trunk

Think of a Slim Aarons pool scene, Jude Law as Dickie Greenleaf (above, in The Talented Mr Ripley) or Alain Delon in La Piscine. Basically, the kind of swimwear that is gagging for a cocktail. Orlebar Brown has become the key label to go to for this look. Its block colours or graphic prints, with distinctive side fasteners and shorter lengths, have been hugely influential. It is popular with celebrities including Ryan Reynolds. Other top-end trunk brands worth checking out are Robinson Les Bains, MYO and Vilebrequin – all of which offer, among other things, good patterns: from toile de jouy, to birds and tigers. Reiss is the place for this look on the high-street – from leaf prints to geometrics – especially as it has a sale on now.

Surfer dude: the board short

While still very much a youngster's beach trunk (see Niall Horan of One Direction), this longer-length look is also favoured by an older and beefier crowd. Matthew McConaughey (above) – who does actually surf – is a fan while other burly actors, including Hugh Jackman and True Blood's Joe Manganiello, have also recently worn similar boardie styles. Perhaps the choice is pectorals or muscly thighs rather than showing off both at once? Board shorts, like hibiscus patterns, are a perennial beach classic and are still easy to pick up on the high street. But if long is really your thing, make like Zac Efron and swim in a pair of cut-off camo combats. Camo is big for 2013 and thus ahead of the curve.

The minimalist

Photograph: Moviestore Collection/Rex Features M&S reports that floral and photographic-print trunks have sold well this summer but its bestseller is still navy. Very Burt Lancaster in 1968's The Swimmer (above) or Justin Bieber in 2012 paparazzi pictures, depending on your point of reference. Block red continues to be a thing, too – a hangover from Baywatch maybe. This is tennis ace Rafael Nadal's hue of choice, too – this summer his are sporty and above the knee. Black, unsurprisingly, is also popular. See Formula One driver Fernando Alonso, who this week donned long black board shorts for a yacht trip. Plain dark colours are the easiest option: they work well on almost any shape and are non-attention-seeking.
