Hey, if you think so, I might *just* be able to arrange some reindeer pee for you.

Ok, working on it, but, apparently you could just shroom and get much the same effects.

Well, there you go, Graphics. Someone googled for you.

Takumars and Legoes are more fun, anyway.

RML I googled it myself just hadn't had time to post. X in the Greek stands for Chi. However most of us don't know greek today. Except for the Greeks.
Again it was just a comment to Dave. Never once did I mention any kind of conspiracy.

So what's on you wish list ? Who knows who will be looking at this list and checking it twice .....

Please read the OP above!
You know that I like to play and argue as much as the rest of you but Dave tried to start a thread that couldn't possibly turn into a debate.
George - I happen to agree with you for the reason you stated but also because I see the use of X-mas as a sign of laziness (nothing personal Dave). Unfortunately as soon as you posted I knew it would be mere moments before someone would complain or challenge .
RML - I for one have never spoken ill of you but why do you have to cry persecution in every single thread? Sometimes it gets kinda old! If Graphics started a thread about baking blueberry muffins you would somehow turn it into an anti gay , anti democrat , anti pagan thing. By the way I find it odd that you never specifically state which pagan religion you practice when you bring it into discussion so frequently.
Gary- Trippin on riendeer whiz? Come on, your a mod and this is supposed to be a family friendly place.

Please don't come the "You're a mod" crap it doesn't do anyone any favours.

As for family friendly, there's a lot worse goes on in GT.

Any member is free to report a post for taking a thread off topic but make sure you're not selective and report all of the OT posts.

I didn't say you did, just posting a reminder of that option.

I hope we can return this thread back to the original discussion now (or as close as GT gets

).

For whatever reason(s) people tend to get a little more mellow around Christmas, unless you are in a store shopping......and they also seem to be a little more tolerant of their differences with others. It is the best time of the year in that respect, but it is also the most stressful. So many things going on, all at once....For me it always builds in anticipation and expectations, maybe the leftover remnants of being a kid and dreaming of those toys, and then continues until Super Bowl when all the excitement is finally gone and the brutal reality of winter hits me in the face. Still, I look forward to it every year! A time to reflect on my good fortune, and to enjoy more of my friends and family. You too?
Regards!

Since I've been in this country it's been spent with the in-laws, nice to be together. Now we have our own child it's even better to add another generation to the get together and, hopefully, continue the traditions. I'm sure we'll take over the tradition as my wife's parents get older.
We usually get the shopping done early.
I've asked for a Wacom tablet and a slide scanner.

As for "XMas" show your facts.

I Googled it and found numerous supporting
sources, including the transcript of a sermon by a minister.
