What's everyone doing? What holiday(s) do you celebrate this time of year? Get all your shopping done?
I celebrate Christmas and can't wait to eat some fat meals and visit with my crazy family and see most of my friends. Haven't gone shopping yet though. Normally it's done by now but all my money has gone to bills and food lately. Get to do my shopping starting Friday.

Don't you norcals celebrate this out there? December 21 -- Winter Solstice -- Yule The sun is at its nadir, the year's longest night. We internalize and synthesize the outward-directed activities of the previous summer months. Some covens hold a Festival of Light to commemorate the Goddess as Mother giving birth to the Sun God. Others celebrate the victory of the Lord of Light over the Lord of Darkness as the turning point from which the days will lengthen. The name "Yule" derives from the Norse word for "wheel", and many of our customs (like those of the Christian holiday) derive from Norse and Celtic Pagan practices (the Yule log, the tree, the custom of Wassailing, et al).

Normally it's done by now but all my money has gone to bills and food lately. Get to do my shopping starting Friday. I'm a boring person. I admit it. Plus I have no imagination or talent... that's why I'm an engineer :-) So it's Christmas Eve, 2007, and my wife and her mother are heading to mass soon. My wife is Catholic and I'm.... not :-). Shopping is done (thank God for amazon.com), presents wrapped, etc. I get the rest of the week off so I'll just putz around the house and work on my honeydo list. You all have a great holiday. Steve... thanks for the email reminders this year about Bam Central. I've been bad this year and haven't been hanging around here as much as I want to. Rich

I've been bad this year and haven't been hanging around here as much as I want to. Rich Say this 3 times Rich... Ave Maria Gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Ave, ave dominus Dominus tecum Benedicta tu in mulieribus Et benedictus Et benedictus fructus ventris Ventris tuae, Jesus. Ave Maria I watched the pope's christmas mass tuesday morning.The music at these things is pretty cool,but the snacks at the end aren't really worth waiting for.
