Christmas card from my Aunt Jenny would arrive on December 28. Thank you for reminding me of that tradition, Adam, and a merry, happy to all. God help us, everyone.

May we ring in a new year in 2005 with hopes and dreams for a better world. Though the chances of life getting better are pretty slim, it's nice to know that life can't keep getting worse forever. See you in 2005! Yes, a merry chrismas, a happy hannukah, a cool kwanza, and a complacent do-nothing-day (for the atheist/agnostic group).

It was the topper to a really strange 2004 for me and for many other people I know! To all the Felberites here, may 2005 be a better year, one where peace may break out somewhere, where people are not killing and being killed, and where the economy and environment may get better instead of worse. And if that can't or won't happen, do something every day for the people you encounter to make their world a nicer place, just for a minute or two!

A weird year I'm not sorry to see go away. http://bigego.com/newyears/ Here's a link to my favorite New Year's Eve song. It was written for 2001 but it just seems to keep fitting the times.

Now here's a holiday I can get behind. No religion, or history to fight over, and it's universal, (at least here on earth). It also lets you know that this is as dark as it gets. From here on the daylight gets longer, even if we don't see the effects for a while, (despite what folks say the DAY stays the same length). The people in Australia can celebrate the daylight being its longest! Maybe the Winter Solstice can be a metaphor for our political lives. It may be a while before things get better but this is the bottom. Happy Solstice. Joyous Solstice.

The cynic in me says that we're going to see a lot more shit fall this coming year with Dubya and his "man date" with the Saudis or whoever we're pandering to next. But nevertheless, happy holidays. Even if the focus is on a winter holiday to commemorate the birth of Jesus during the wrong season as a means to compete with the Roman orgy-fests at the end of the year, it still has meaning for a lot of people, and a pleasant vacation period when people are likely to be depressed by the weather anyway. Have a good one, y'all. Wow, I leave for a week and I miss all the latest posts.

From your mouth to the ear(s) of the God(s) of Festivus. BTW, you got any pull in Punxatawney? The Resurrection is due in about six weeks, and it'd be nice to know the fix is in. Happy Increased Daylight to all the FA gang and our Glorious Leader. Murray,
