We have had our share of Season's Greetings in a more contentious thread, so I figure I would start a new one.

I hope every one has a Merry Christmas and a Great New Year.
Also enjoy the remaining days of Chanukah.*




* I was in Crown Heights in Brooklyn on Saturday and I got to see the Chanukah parade go by. About thirty cars with giant menorahs on top led by cop cars with wailing sirens. It was quite a sight.

All the best to you and, family & loved ones busterkeaton

Christmas is a great time and for a short period it often brings out the best in people.

I was busy rushing around doing the last minute stuff today and had parked my car in a city centre car park.

I paid my ticket at the machine, jumped back in the car and queued to exit the car park.

As I approached the barrier my ticket dropped down a slither of a gap in the centre console.

I swore, cursed and had to get out the car and approach the ticket office ready to pay the huge fee they charge if you have no ticket.

The attendant punched a ticket and wished me happy Christmas. How often woulf you get that at any other time of year.

Best to everyone, PAW

Happy Holidays to everyone out there.
How thankful we must be that our problems are so insignificant that we get upset over such silly things.

I for one am very thankful I get to play with my video toys to make a living.
My Thoughts with those away from home for the holidays, with serious
problems, and using very lethal toys.

My son now says "Merry Christmas" and "Hohoho!". Also, he found grandma's and grandpa's present and asked if it was from Santa. :)

But, last week I put my car into a ditch and monday found out that I might not have a job after Dec 31. :(

But, things could be worse! :)

Friar stay Happy.

Bad news I know but wait till you the kids face on christmas marning........

Then you will say "big deal, in the sceme of things...."

Then the insuarance will pay more for the car than it was actually worth, and you will think I hated the job anyway.....

And the new job will be even better, what car are you going to get next?

Seasonal Greetings, Chester

Luckly the car didn't cost much to repair (no colision coverage!). And I do hate my job. :) My wife is worried and i keep saying that if I quit then i'll be forced to get off my butt and get a better job! :)

And I shall have a video camera pointed at my son tomorrow morning (for us east coasters). and it shall make it out onto DVD and VHS for all family to see. :)

Grazie,

Here is a picture of the Mitzvah Tanks that lead the parade

What? Now I need to explain what a Mitzvah Tank is? It's a big Winnebago filled with tefillin sent forth by G-d in the battle for souls

Still confused? Go here.

Cars with attached menorahs
