Title says it all.

If you happen to not like the term Christmas for whatever reason,
well, merry life. I wish you all peace, joy, love. I want you all to
smile a little smile for me, I want you all to look at the freshly fallen
snow/frozen rain tomorrow morning and reflect a little bit on some of the
purities of the human spirit.
Hope, hope that things which are good which will continue, hope
that things that are bad will get better. Faith that they will.
Beleiving you can make a difference, that you can help to bring someone
else a little joy.
Kindness, optimism. Open mindedness. Giving people the benefit
of the doubt. Giving that toonie to the panhandler on the street, because
you don't know what hand life has dealt him and everyone deserves to be
happy.
Fresh air, bright sunshine. Clear blue skies, quiet large flakes
of snow.
Icicles melting in the spring time. Streams full of runoff.
Birds arriving back with the warm weather and making many little baby
birds. These things are why we tend to celebrate the winter solstice
after all...

Love, hugs and good cheer,

Greg

You're just obsessed with sex.

But Merry Christmas anyways. :)

That would explain the rumors I've heard that it causes women to
swoon uncontrollably. :) Of course, I've heard the same thing about
darklights, and guys with darkrooms, and so far I've yet to be convinced. :)

It's a quote from the sherrif in the movie 'Night of the Living

That's awesome, I just read Jay's 'You're just obsessed with sex'
post, and was going to reply about the phallicness... phallicity...
phallicility?... I was just about to reply about how much lava lamps look

Oh, so that's the trend, eh? Dropping off first letters of names
eh? Kind of like that odd fad of spelling your name with an i at the end.
I missed out on that one...I'm so bitter. I could have been Mandi. Well, I'm
not going to let this one pass me by. I missed out on the teenage mutant
ninja turtles, smurf, and she-ra/he-man phases...I am *not* missing out.
I'll show those cashiers at Walmart! I'll show them all! even wilf the
door greeter..I'll get him good. Get him like he got me! heavens, it far
too early/late to be thinking coherently...time to regenerate.

Oh ghods...I'm a trendsetter. Actually, I think that it was a
feline-related deletion.

I always liked the jelly rings/bracelets fad.

Oh, about the names with I's...I wasn't eligible, but has anyone read this
really tacky series of books about a girl named Kitty in the 1920's, who
at one point want's to sit with the popular girls but they only let people
who spell their names with an 'i' at the end sit with them, so she called
herself Kitti, but then the nasty nun made her stay after school and write
on the blackboard 'my name is kitty, with a y'?

Didn't think so.

I *still* like the Ninja turtles. :) The cartoon was a little
stale, and the movies were just plain bad. But the graphic novels were
realy strange and cool.

You're forgetting PacMan. Maybe that was kinda a geek fad, but I
was heavy into Pacman. :) There was a cartoon, and I had all the coloring
books, and the board games, and the bedsheets...
And I left Pacman high scores all across Ottawa. I was like, an 8
year old pacman prodigy. :)
