Marion, don't panic! My children's Advent calendars say we still have some days!
All good wishes for the festive days and a happy new year to everyone in this great forum,
and particularly to you, Marion!

If you want to get really technical, it is currently Advent, yes? Christmas doesn't start until Christmas and goes through the Epiphany. I know, I know, that's just crazy religious talk. Secular America demands I buy a bunch of stuff made in China to give to everyone and then forget about it 1201 on December 25th.
Actually, that is not too far removed from what they do here in Japan. They get into the Christmas thing (At least the secular aspects) here in Okinawa and in Japan at large. Apparently one tradition is to get a big bucket of KFC. Not sure what the connection is, but good for the Colonel, I guess.
All that being said, I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and Happy New Years’!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! Hoping that 2013 is better than 2012 and a little worse than 2014!

Here's a great cartoon. This was sent to my buddy Filip, from a WWII veteran from Eugene Cook, WWII veteran of the 101st, 506th Regiment. I think you will enjoy it!

Marion,
Hoping you are well. Sorry for my absence on the site, although sometimes
I do pop in from time to time without signing in. This semester
I decided to tackle 2 grad courses, which has taken
up all of my free time since September. My last class this semester ends
Jan 14th, and I will then have 3 classes left to complete my masters degree.
Anyhow I just wanted to check in and wish you a Merry Christmas
and a wonderful New Year 2013! At the moment it is currently
a winter wonderland outside with the current snowstorm.

Great hearing from you. Proud of your accomplishments. You go girl! Happy New Year!
