  Thanks everyone. Merry Christmas as well. Cynthia, yes definitely make Seoul Searcher a weekly read. His postings are excellent. I wish he would get a better blogging platform though so comments could be left.

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

  And thought how, as the day had come,
  The belfries of all Christendom
  Had rolled along
  The unbroken song
  Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

  Till, ringing, singing on its way,
  The world revolved from night to day,
  A voice, a chime,
  A chant sublime
  Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

  Then from each black, accursed mouth
  The cannon thundered in the South,
  And with the sound
  The carols drowned
  Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

  It was as if an earthquake rent
  The hearth-stones of a continent,
  And made forlorn
  The households born
  Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

  And in despair I bowed my head;
  "There is no peace on earth," I said:
  "For hate is strong,
  And mocks the song
  Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"

  Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
  "God is not dead; nor doth he sleep!
  The Wrong shall fail,
  The Right prevail,
  With peace on earth, good-will to men!"

  Merry Christmas all.

  CPT Kim,

  I tried to find his email address and could not find that as well. I wanted to let him know I appreciate his weekly articles.
