Who's starting to get excited then??

Autumn is almost upon us! The poor trees around my sister's house have got confused and started shedding their leaves already! I guess I can't blame them, with the close of Summer drawing in, for being eager to get Autumn started off with lovely reds and browns and crispy leaves all over the floor :) :fall:

My eldest daughter starts school next week, and it's really brought it home how close we are to the Autumn season! Naturally, the coming of Autumn brings about me really starting to feel that Christmas spirit again, and that little tingle of excitement has began to bubble up inside me :giftpeek:

I'm cracking on with my Christmas shopping next week - It might be easier to get around the shops with one less pre-schooler hanging around my ankles :elf3: :santahat:

PS: Posting here in the approach to Christmas has become somewhat of a little Christmas tradition to me, so just posting here makes me feel all warm and festive inside. Here are some 'smilies' that make me feel really excited :smitten:

The Education system in china is powerful and horrible. They can do everything illegal that they want to do. To non-special class(grass root class), any struggling would cause victims' disaster. *The ending is always that *the kids will lose their school(no school would receive this kid). *So, many many family choice *suffering in silence.
My post had been banned at some USA forum, it's very sad for us
Chinese are categorized into Alien category in the earth. That means if human being is the winner, they would enslave Alien just like Chinese. Or should I say Chinese have been slaves already?

All presents are wrapped..:presents3::presents3: girls..:home:

Never mind Autumn I'm propper excited for Crimbo
