Aren't you married?-- or is Peggy into threesomes? nevermind--don't answer that! Denver is to far away, anyway.
Not sure about this year--I usually spend New Year's with friends.. One year on top of Empire State building-- so much better than times square. Last year at friends place--in Queens-- he had view of East river fireworks, and one of the old worlds fair ground--more fireworks.(Flushing Meadows Park)
Had some nice champaine--popped the cork just as the ball fell. (and some cheap stuff for mimosa's at brunch) Pretty low key-- just four of us-- we had gone out to dinner earlier in the evening..
It might be my place this year-- and i'll burn the last of my good oak-- once its gone, i will only have maple, unless some one in the neighborhood cuts down an oak-- and it will still be years before it dries out enough for me to split.
Its nice to be all cozy around a fire, drink in hand.. (and to avoid all the crazies on the road.)

This got sent to me, and i thought some, if not all of you might enjoy.... NORAD Tracking Santa on Christmas EveNORAD is preparing to launch its 46th annual "NORAD Tracks Santa" program this week to aid Santa-watchers around the globe. Air Force Print News reports that the program features a six-language, live- tracking Web site which will present visual and audio updates hourly from midnight EST, Dec. 23 to 5 a.m. EST, Dec. 25. NORAD will track Santa using digital animation, satellite/cockpit images, and audio reports from the NORAD command center. All Web site material, including the live-tracking event, will be available in English, Japanese, French, Spanish, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese. The Santa telephone hotline at (719) 474-3980 will also be available to Santa enthusiasts after 4p.m. Dec. 24. NORAD is the bi-national United States/Canadian organization charged with maintaining aerospace warning and control for North America. The organizations and volunteers who help make this global Christmas project possible do so at no cost to the taxpayer. The 2000 NORAD Tracking Santa Web site is at http://
<http://www.noradsanta.org/> http://www.noradsanta.org/ . Last year, the Web site took 52 million hits on Christmas Eve alone, peaking at 250,000 hits per minute.

In case I don't see you all again before the big days:
Selamat Hari Natal 2000
Selamat Idul Fitri 1421H
Selamat Tahun Baru 2001
Also Mohon maaf lahir batin
which is an Indonesian expression meaning I beg your forgiveness body and soul (for all the wrong I have done you or offence I have caused you over the last year).

I have been trying and trying to think what to say here.
I know some people have already begun their break in routine and won't be able to get on-line until after New
Year's--sorry I took so long--hope you know I'm wishing you well.
There doesn't seem to be anywhere in the modernized world that Christmas doesn't have a large impact. I notice that several non-Christians have special plans at this time--
traveling to be with family, notably.
I hope that everyone has a great week, wherever they are
and however they are affected by Christmas. I do feel free
to wish every one of you a Happy New Year. There is so
much love here--to copy Jo, I love ya all! And, to copy Bingley (t.k.), Mohon maaf lahir batin .

It would appear, from the lack of postings to this board, that the atheists, the non-liturgical pagans and even the bloody-minded are all about something other than this pursuit. May they find it enjoyable and fulfilling, while the rest of us celebrate Christmas.

Christmas, in some form or another, seems to be celebrated everywhere, Father Steve. One of the most enthusiastic countries I've ever seen is Thailand, not notable for its large base of Christian believers. Anyway, have a good one.

One who was to me as dead, has come back to "life".
Hallelujah! Rejoice!

Hi all,
Christmas in my family is a time to celebrate love, family and friends. I did not want to miss out on celebrating those whose friendship I have come to appreciate and enjoy so I decided to take a little break from the preparations for my réveillon and wish you all the very best, with wishes of happiness for all.
I'll be raising a toast to you all tonight.
