    The gifts I got aren't important, and I did give some pretty unspectacular gifts, but I would like to mention a gift that one of my nephews got and regifted. It was a Nerf chain gun that he just seemed to love. Yesterday, another nephew of mine--home schooled, very shy, lisps-- visited him and also was quite enthralled with the toy. Well, my 9 year-old nephew simply gave the gun to my 5-year-old nephew (brought my sister to tears) saying it was his (9) Christmas present to him (5). Leaving aside the kids' fascination with guns, it made the whole day pretty special. Leave it to the kids to remind the adults what Christmas is all about...

      My favorite gift would be 10 million dollars; I'm not greedy, I don't need anymore than that.

        That really is a touching story Squire. Not many kids would act that way, he must have learned that from his uncle.

        Confess, you wanted that nerf gun for yourself!

            You're Jewish Ron? Funny, (not that you're Jewish), but that people automatically just assume everyone has Christmas which about 95%% or more do.

            But I wonder how many Muslims tell Christians "Merry Christmas our brothers!!"....I would guess not too many.

              So, here I am at work on New Year's Eve. Every time I work on a 31Dec, I fee like I age 4-5 years; that's how many times I'll watch the ball drop tonight on TV.

              Anyway, I'm ready...

                  But that was Mayan Standard Time, so it will be Dec 20th for some, right?

                    From what I've heard the end of the world as predicted by the Mayans is caused by a black hole created by the Large Hadron Collider going beserk. And as you know (standard) time loses all meaning when black holes are involved.

                          Lol, what would be the right forum for such a post? Would be interested to uhm... browse on such a forum for a while.

                          Don't know how to do spoilertags, btw.

                            They were an option under "Go Advanced" when posting. Maybe I abused them (spoilers within spoilers, that kind of thing).

                            Dan? Daniel? Danny Boy? (the pipes, the pipes are call-all-ling) Where are my spoiler tags?
