Well, you in Oz are well through the day. It's almost there for us here in EST, and of course, our Yurrupeen freinds are just waking up to this magical day right now.
My best to all of you, and thank you for making this community what it is - it's truly priceless, and that's perhaps what it should be on this Christmas Day, 2005. My thoughts are with the soldiers, past and present, who have and are being forced to endure this most solemn day alone and far away from their loved ones. Them we owe a debt which can never be repaid.
To all of you dear friends here --

and
