Bless China and Mao Zedong

Bless China and Mao Zedong I have partly decorated my Christmas tree bless the Chinese for the blinking fairy light, blue and yellow strings I think symbolise angels’ hair not that I have seen any angels with blue-rinsed hair. I haven`t put up any baubles this year it is a bother to put them on the twigs. My shoes are bought in the same shop they are ok, but don`t last long, I feel guilty now my socks and undergarment are made in China that is how you destroy a country`s economy buying from abroad; it`s cheaper for us on the low income, it is a vicious circle, more people get laid off they have little money and had to but underwear and socks shop at a Chinse shop. The wage for workers in the USA is now so cheap Pakistani factories are moving to Detroit and Michigan, but for it to succeed the Americans have to build better roads and new bridges. I digress the tree is fit for purpose comes in 3 sections and can easily be kept in the shed until next year. So bless the Chinse for making our Christmas possible this year too
