    	well....I'm just having a quiet Christmas with my mother this year.
    	Brothers and nieces and nephews will likely come over Christmas eve
    	and we'll do the Midnight mass thing and open a few presents
    	directly after mass. All in all a quiet one this year.

    I'm not doing anything for Christmas this year.  My family does not
    celebrate Christmas.  I however, do.  I will get up Christmas morning
    with my son, watch him open his gifts and then he'll be going with his
    dad for the remainder of the day.  I'll spend the rest of the day home
    alone. :-(  I was invited to have dinner with a friend, I may do that. 
    I just don't want to reflect my depressed attitude on her family.

    Well Im going to eat lots of Turkey and stuff then get completely
    buckled with the help of a few cans and a bottle of Mad Dog............ 
    
    *:@)) 

A quiet holiday this season with the family and then back into the shop to try
to finish up this large order due 1/9/95 that has been backed up with being
sick. Thank god there's a few extra days off to help catch up.

CM

	My Christmas spirits are still in the bottle! :)

	Actually, just a few family get togethers. Relaxin' time....

    re -1 and mine are mostly still in the shop! :-)
    
    Alan, Kathryn and myself Christmas Day, my folks will be coming Boxing
    Day the rest of the hols will be spent with friends and family..and
    folks are always welcome to drop by the house.
    
    Jackie

    Well, I'm hustling all over the place this holiday.
    
    Christmas eve day and early evening will be spent with my in-laws. 
    We'll leave there around 7:00, head home really quick, and get to my
    mother's house by 8:15 to celebrate her birthday.  We won't stay long
    .. probably only until about 9:00.
    
    Christmas morning we'll go back to my mother's house .. the rest of my
    family will be there.  We'll have a nice breakfast and open our
    christmas presents.  After that we'll go back to my place with my dad. 
    We're having a few "orphan" friends over.  Basically friends who are
    not going home for the holiday.  Bob is making christmas dinner.  Fun
    fun fun!

	 We're not celebrating Christmas this year, but the whole family will
	be together in Phoenix, Arizona.  I'm looking forward to it.

	No Christmas spirit this year, and I have a very, very sad feeling that
	last year was the last time I will celebrate Christmas with my family.
	You see, I'm the only one left that has any "Christian" in me.  My
	parents were a mixed marriage (Dad Jewish & Mom Protestant), and my
	sister converted to Judaism before she married.  It's a very wierd
	and depressing feeling.

	Lola

    
    Well, for me as Catholic the 24th of Dec is the most important day.
    I'll spend the day with my parents decorating the tree and cooking the
    dinner. In the afternoon we'll probably go to the cimitery; and I think
    my grandmother and my grandpa will come in the evening to celebrate
    with us. Before eating the fish we will open our gifts and sing some
    X-mas carols.
    
    On the 25th we'll have a "big" lunch with turkey and dumplings (sp?)
    and vegetables and salat and a tart at the end. It's a kind of
    "family-day".
    
    Formerly the 26th was the day where we met the rest of my family (aunt,
    uncle, cousins). But now my cousins are married and having their own
    families, so this will be my relaxin' day!  :-)
    
    Tina

    
    Well, I'll have a pretty busy Christmas. Celebrating it with 5 of my
    8 stepkids, my step-grandson and all the rest of my wife's family.
    That's not counting spending all day Christmas Eve with my own 2 kids
    and my family. Thank goodness for Friday and Monday off.

    Sunday we go to a hotel with 3 other couples, have a few drinks and
    head for the dinner dance.
    By the time we're through that and a quick visit to the hotel bar, we
    will most likely only be able to stagger to our rooms. ;-)
    Monday Tjitske and I will most likely spend at home doing nothing but
    trying to relax.

    Everyone else have a good time at christmas.

	ain't he sweet?


;*)

	Yeah, so sweet I think we should put him out in the rain and see if
	he'll melt!

	Found one Note from Mr RBernard which has not been set hidden... I think
our beautiful moderators wanted to save one Note politically correct from this
guy. But I'm still asking myself what he must have done to be treated like
that... Using *bad* words? Having *bad* thoughts?
	Everybody (I think) has been set hidden for having written bad things,
but as for him, it was visibly automatic! Is there any moderator option that I
don't know: "DEFINE SET_HIDDEN=RBERNARD/AUTOMATIC/DELAY=5 SECS"?...

				Set hidden automatically,	BenJ.	;)

    
    
    
    Hi Benj
    
    I see your catching up on the Christmas greetings....
    That was a particular hostile attack against Chico. 
    
    Chris
    

    
    	
    
    	Howdy Benj,
    
    	since Mr. Rbernard had made it a point to ignore digital policy and
    use vulgar language etc, I decided to delete every note he entered
    until his sorry butt was gone. Now I can let my keyboard cool
    down....:)
    
    
    chico

    Hello Chico,
    
       have you really deleted all his notes????????
       It would have been a "learning experience" for me if you had
       forwarded his notes to me before deleting them..... or at least
       tell me the swearwords he used. ;)))))
    
    Martina-Data tries to complete her vulgar words collection
    ;)))))

	Me too me too me too!

	Twix, U missed to snarf my birthdate. Me poor thing...

		Triing to enter the world of vulgarity...	BenJ.	;)

    And here for poor BenJ:
    
        BenJ birthdate snarfffff plus 2 ;)))))  = 29
    
    Do you feel better now, sweetie?
    
    ;)
    Twix

	Yeah! I feel better now...

	It's been a long time we haven't been round here at the same time. U
should sometimes leave your busy work to talk with me...
	Actually, my work is very hard (it's a hard soft!) and I need to write
with ::Friends to think about something else. I'm counting my days here.
Normally, the contract ends the 10th July. Maybe I'm gonna stay there a bit more
to finish what I'm doing actually...
	U know I could say I don't care, I give up, my job here won't bring me
more for my carrier. But, my personnality push me to go on and finish even if it
takes time, even if it's hard to do... Maybe, I need to proove myself I'm able
to do something till the end.
	Have a good day my lovely twixy! Here is some warm sunbeams for U...

				Back to his driver quickly,	BenJ.	;)

    Hello my cher cheri BenJ!
    
       I'm so sorry I haven't been around here for quite a while... :(
       Normally now I spend a lot of time working together with colleagues
       in the lab. I know, there is so little time. Now I try to get in
       here at the end of my work day when people are gone. Then there is
       plenty of time. See, we run through time, run through our lives -
       until our end of time. ;)
       I'm glad you'll stay a little longer. It is fun to read your
       comments in here and I'll certainly miss you when you're gone. 
       You're like the sun rising up on a misty morning, sweeping the
       night's lazy dampness away, brightening the day.
       Stay the sunbeam that you are.
    
    ;) 
    Twix, and now off to the lab

> Stay the sunbeam that you are.

	Thank U so much, Twix! I'm gonna turn red if U go on...

	Stay the star that U are, my favourite alien!

					Timide, malgr� lui,	BenJ.	;)

    Stars, the numerous silent watchers of the night's lonely business,
    until infinity part of the black velvet ceiling, constantly glowing,
    sending their soft gentle yearning to all creatures of the night.
    When I can't find sleep in the night I walk to the window and just
    let my mind float out there, among the stars, becoming part of the
    universe's continuous expansion, growing far beyond the daily everyday's
    blues, sensing the presence of the cosmic stream, expressing its
    very essence, the timeless variation of the fibers, whose projections
    into our 3-dimensional world occur as the events we can pick up with
    our sensors.
    At the end of my guest performance here on planet Earth in a human
    body I will go back there, in my true appearance as an energy being,
    until my next "vacation", maybe on another planet, as another lifeform.
    
    ;)

	If I knew those beautiful words, if I knew how to put them together as
well as U do, if my sensitivity could allow me to write such things, I would
probably have described my sleepless nights like U did, dear Twix...

	Stay with us in planet Earth cause we need your presence. 

				Enferm� dans sa petite vie,	BenJ.	;)

    Hey BenJ, you snarfffffed my age!!!!
    
    It feels good to be needed. ;) Ok, you got it, I'll stay a little
    longer. ;) 
    I am anyways not done with this life yet. It is fun to be human.
    I like the way this human body gives me the rare opportunity to study
    the emotional impact in such scrutiny! There is still so much to learn.
    Never before have I been exposed to such a vigurous interaction
    scheme of any kind of beings. It is amazing and quite intriguing how
    the communication structure develops between humans and how it becomes
    a "taken for granted" part of their lives. Everything is based on
    different interaction schemes. "Role playing" is the trick.
    
    ... Fascinating.
    
    ;)

	Well, my Christmas spirit is undulating between high and low this
	year...  I do want to wish all my ::Friends the merriest of Christmas,
	Happiest of Chanukahs and a very healthy New Year!

    wearing other things too!)....my statement that holiday begins today.
    We're just on skeleton cover today and over the Christmas
    holiday..fortunately I'm off until the New Year after today. :-)
