I'd like to add my Merry Christmas to the group as well. May the world be more peacefull in 2007. For those of you not filled with Christmas cheer let me do as the Japanese do and issue you an early congratulation on the dawning of the new year. Akemashite Omedeto Gozaimasu!

Merry Christmas to all. For those not of that belief, happy holiday season. To all, Happy New Year. For those that have a different New Year, Happy New Year for when that happens.

PS: Damn it can be hard to try and cater for everyone :P

May all your suits always break.

May all your finesses always work.

May all your menaces be always rightly placed.

 

Won't be good in duplicate but a nice goal for money bridge.

 

Everyone have a happy celebration of anything you might be celebrating and a prosperous 2007. :P

I found out last year Christmas isn't really the date of Jesus's birth.

Indeed. Midwinter is a pagan festival that predates Christianity. In a cunning move the church hijacked it.

This has been repeated so many times it has been taken as true. It may be true but I have read some stuff that puts this back into the myth repeated so often it must be true.

 

This would make for an intesting discussion if anyone has any new research papers on the subject.

 

In the meantime...

 

A very very Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all!

 

BTW what is up with all the European BBO players moving to America...heck ain't we got enough competition without importing them. :P

Happy Festivus! Merry Xmas and may Robo-Santa not mow you down in a hail of bullets and rockets.

 

Someone watching too much Futurama? :P

 

"Did you check the list?"

 

YES. TWICE. ARE YOU SURE THAT'S ENOUGH?

 

Merry Christmas Gerben. 

 

Merry Christmas to you too Dwayne, and I wish you a happy and healthy 2007.
