Now, Christmas - what's it all about then?
Well, it was supposed to be the birthday celebration of a 2000 year old Saviour of the world according to the Christian religion, and we've all kind of adapted the way in which we celebrate this 'festive' time. We have Santa Claus (tied up in the shed), and then we have Christmas trees, decorations and so forth and occasionally we may sing Christmas carols, but they usually consist of 'Jingle Bells' or 'Rudolph the Red nose reindeer' and correct me if i'm wrong, but these don't have anything to do with Mr Christ? Well, that isn't a bad truth, it's just a truth, and it seems as trhough we don't celebrate the birth of this chap. Whether this guy existed or not, was a saviour or not, we can do what he has been said to have done, we can make the lives of other people better.
For instance, these charity auction, the Game a day being given away to people who will have to spend Christmas in a hospital ward will hopefully help these people to have a better Christmas. I think SR should be applauded for giving a game away each day so the Fantasy meister and others could think up this idea and act upon it. Had I won during this time I would have given my game away, but, like Grix I had some important exams going on. Perhaps we could do the same thing this easter?

Thanks and goodbye!

Wonderful...
