“The hero is the one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by. The saint is the man who walks through the dark paths of the world, himself a light.” ~Felix Adler

“We are each burdened with prejudice; against the poor or the rich, the smart or the slow, the gaunt or the obese. It is natural to develop prejudices. It is noble to rise above them.” ~Author Unknown
1.2/52 Most of the time, judgmental remarks about something or someone fill our head even before we learn to see through who they are and what they’ve been through.

1.1/52 || No matter how expensive and polished you try to be, there’s a part of you that’s waiting to break free and wreak havoc. A repressed monster, that’s what you are.

In 2007, my sister, my mom and I made these using sheer ribbon and christmas balls, which is yet another quirky way to use conventional tree decor. When my father and littlest sister came back from their trip to Hongkong, they were welcomed by our newly decorated Christmas tree, in traditional gold and red :)

I’ve always thought that our Christmas tree is interesting. We utilized the usual decors — christmas balls, shiny ribbons, poinsettias, etc — but with some twist. Instead of hanging the balls separately, we tied them up together like grapes, and hung them in small bunches like these which I think is a cuter way to display them :)
