For whatever reason you may be taking time away from the daily grind, whether religiously or logically inspired, may I take this slightly early chance of wishing all-y'all the compliments of the season and much happiness in the year ahead? I need to get in early to take advantage of this lovely ADSL connection, so shall love you and leave you probably until around Jan 5th. Have a great time with family, friends, or even in peaceful solitude if that's what you desire - best wishes :)

And here I thought your greeting was going to be about some kind of holiday congealed salad...

All the Blessings of Christmas to those who celebrate it and a Happy New Year to those who don't. (and those who do, as well )

Happy Christmas all, wahey it's Christmas! Beats the hell out of Michael's. Woo, hoo!!!!!!! Got a tree with pretty lights and tinsel round the Scoutwalkers and presents in a big box, and lots of them are for me, and tangerines in the tree, that are soo much better than oranges, and mince pies and soon I'm going home to see my family and we'll play games and go for walks on the Ees and eat far too much and sing songs and steadfastly ignore any reference to Jesus, all except for my brother who will go and sing at midnight mass. [panting-e]I love Christmas, happy Christmas everybody, have a mince pie on me.

A wish for a lovely and happy holiday to one and all.
Yesterday, Google's logo had the snowmen shoveling, today the plow came by .... check it out...I wonder what they'll do tomorrow? A bit of fun is always in order!
Blessings
