I am proud to say that my celebrity daughter Sabrina Soto got engaged on her birthday. She is to be married to Chef Dean Sheremet, who I am told is also an accomplished dancer. Sabrina and Dean are neighbors and both have children from previous relationships.

Love makes a man give up his throne to marry a divorcee. Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal as a monument to his wife.

These must be very special and groovy kinds of love. https://youtu.be/bPJYT7LigtY

Confucius was the first teacher in China who wanted to make education broadly available and was instrumental in establishing the art of teaching as a vocation. He also established ethical, moral, and social standards that formed the basis of a way of life known as Confucianism, which is not a religion, as much as it is a global philosophy.

It was nearly 60 years ago today that a British band taught a generation to say. On this date back on December 26, 1963.

The Beatles released "I Saw Her Standing There" and  'I Want To Hold Your Hand' were both hit records. One had a deep hidden message. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGOObcfkQBI

However, many years earlier, this message was heard loud and clear from the lipa of Ben E. King's famous song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwZNL7QVJjE

Latinos make up over half of the USA population. This is reflected in larger cities, small towns, neighborhoods, and prairies.

Also, the culture and use of language are being woven into the American fabric and melting into a Spanglish mixed salad.

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through la casa,
Not a creature was stirring, I wondered, que pasa?

I was hanging the stockings with mucho cuidado,
In hopes that old Santa would feel obligado,

To bring all the children, both buenos y malos,
A nice batch of dulces and other regalos.

Thank you, America because this is the first Christmas in decades that The United States is not involved in any wars overseas.

Now, all we have to do is stop arguing and fighting one another over discrimination, lies, unproven claims and false conspiracy theories.

Many humans and animals all over the world are celebrating their second COVID Christmas, while infections in many countries have overwhelmed hospitals, canceled flights, and curbed religious observances, our global resolve should be to work together for a better earth. Jesus Christ wants it this way.
