Subject: Merry Xmas - the height of me-too-ism!

Seasons Greetings to all, to all a Merry Xmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy New Year,
Bon Annee, Joyeux Noel, Feliz Navidad, Snobim Godom, Dieg Moroz, Nollig
Criel......etc.

(pardon my badly transliterated French, Russian, Scots Gaelic, etc. (heck,
pardon my English too, might as well be all inclusive!))

To each and all, my best of the season and may the new year find you happier,
healthier, and with much more time to spend with friends at the gaming table
pasting the crap out of one another with little lead figs!;)

Oh, and I did have to chuckle about Evangelical Aliens versus Human
Catholics.... how very
seasonal.... (and it was an interesting idea - not
one I've seen explored in fiction - aliens that
want to wipe us out, not because we're an infestation, not because we'll one
day rule space, and not because they want to eat us or steal our biosphere....
rather because they have a fundamental religious disagreement with
us....).

Anyway, to all (especially to those who've said nice things about the site
myself and Adrian are working on), a Merry Xmas and a Good Day!

PS - Mr. Sadler, if you wish to contact me off-
list and send me a small graphic icon, I'd like to link to stargrunt.com and
arrange a reciprocal link. Your great site stargrunt.com served as the initial
inspiration for my idea to register stargrunt.ca!

I thought just about every religion whose people could plot it had a
celebration on or about the solstice.

Most Americans have two, Christmas and New Years.

G'day,

Yes one of the 6 Ghambars (holidays where the rich feed the poor) falls around
now.

Cheers

It still amazes me the depth of the knowledge (trivial included <grin>) on
this list...
