Have a good chrimbo everyone. Enjoy the break and the pressies and the quality time with family and don't overdo it.
My kids will be 4 and 2.5 this year so it should be a blast although I'm sure I'll be pleased when the Nursery opens again on Thursday...hopefully I'll be popping out for a ride up to Whitby with a few mates.
See you all in 2008...Betws-y-Coed here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well boys, I wish you all good Yule-tide cheer.
I am stuck in the desert pulling my Yule-tide cracker.
Best wishes to all you and yours.
I hope we all have a happy and healthy 2008.

...... so ..... what exactly do you mean when you say 'Merry Christmas'.
Is it:
1) have a jolly good holliday
2) enjoy the food and your presents
3) hope that the holliday ends before your bank credit does
4) hope you'll finally see the light, rejoice in the presence of the lord, let Jesus be you salvation a.s.o
5) none of the above
6) whatever you want
....
I guess it's different for everybody. Me, being a bit of pagan, its the actually the 'return of the light' (days are lengthening again) and some nice moments with family and friends (I really don't like all the surplus food and wealth though....)
Christmas is also a good moment to take some time to reflect on whatever you wanna reflect on. Here's a thing that's being done by the kids of the town I live in:

They put a candle on every grave of a Canadian WWII soldier. I went there tonight with my parents (who have vivid memories of these times) and my 4 year old son (to young to understand... o.t.o.h. what's to understand about war?)...... always good for some reflections .....
Nevertheless, I assume Gary, your Christmas greetings are sincere (whatever meaning) and therefore: same to you, and all the rest!

A merry xmas to all you trixsters out there!
All the best for 2008 and let's hope for a sunny and dry year (who am I kidding).
Nice picture HJ, good to see someone keeping memories alive.
BTW, I've been meaning to ask you about your signature. Didn't that song come from A Night at the Opera?
