Dear Eric, may your dragon be more fierce helping to pull-off the global meltdown like scenario…Happy New year 🙂
Thank you for your well wishes.

Born in the year of the Dragon 1940, I thank you for your good wishes and return them to you on my breath, not of fire, but of infinite blessings. Love David
Wow! We have a dragon in our midst – an auspicious sign. That is lovely to know. Thank you for your blessings David. Have an especial year ahead, Eric
Happy new year, my dearest Eric. Some time ago I used to have a Vietnamese colleague at work, he always offered us drinks and snacks on the day of the Chinese New Year, sadly he works somewhere else now. Pity, one celebration less.
Love and three kisses (our custom on the New Year) from Steph, (you know the silly one who likes you)
Dear Steph,
Thank you and wish you were in Singapore…we have plenty of CNY cookies and snacks. We have a good excuse too, for gorging on them – supposed to bring us good luck. The more we eat, the more the luck. How is that for tradition and custom? I like your custom too.
Lots of hugz and luv,
Eric
Take care of your weight!!! When you put me in front of a cake or cookies I tend to binge certainly if it is supposed to bring luck!. Luckily I keep thinking about my waist and don’t eat for another day after that and work out a bit in the garden, but still. I’m easily seduced, (with food that is!) and ah, I wish I was there, away from our grey winter.
Love and a big hug for the New Year and 3 more kisses (custom you see)

Eric my dear, you are a great humane human! You care for one n all in the whole wide world for all religions color n caste. My heart felt regards for you n your entire family n friends.
Dear Tanveer, you are always full of lovely praises. Thank you.
It is true that we are all of one body in god and love…but quite often some focus on how different each finger looks.
All good wishes,
Eric
Happy New Year to you too.
