My Times

I'd like to wish all my friends and family the very happiest of Christmas's! A special thought also goes out to those who have lost dear ones this past year.
And this being the season of cold and damp for those without any heat, take a spare blanket in your car to leave with someone in need.
You just don't know when it might be you!

For many years now, I've come to see the modern Christmas ritual as a Pagan affair. From the Christmas Tree funeral to the Greatest Legal Parental Lie, Santa Claus, the very existence of The Shopping Mall, and the second largest slaughter of a single species of birds.
Christmas card guilt, telephonitus, Christmas Albums from TV personalities, Xmas Trees that have no smell, Fat men in Red suits, Fair-weather Friends and the Queen's relevance in 1996?

For those of you who just joined us, The Library of Congress Internet Page.

Due to the above outburst: the my times site of the week - The Bible.

To all my music friends, Happy Christmas.
We all have to remember never to stop believing...no matter what they say.

Why can't anyone write a decent Christmas song anymore?
Next year we'll have to have a contest!
Entries must be received by September 15, 1997. The song must be exactly 2 minutes and 53 seconds long. It has to have an ending. The only word allowed to be used is Christmas.
You may use any other language or accent to say the word. Score's are reduced for bad accent's, particularly the various Scottish dialects.

The winner gets a very nice prize indeed...To be chosen by a group of Lawyers...It's possible the "verdict" might take longer than we may have been lead to believe.

If you have not, do not!

"Like Dylan and Lennon, Morissette leaves no doubt that both her bile and bliss come straight from the heart."
