Merry Christmas to you all.

Now, enviously, I'll go on with my routine, dreary working day…

I wish all of you a wonderful Christmas.

Every year, I, my kids and my kids' kids have watched Alastair Sim. Certainly the best version of "Christmas Carol". Worth having to keep if you can get it.


I do, Campbell. The DVD was a present from my Dad. I read Dickens' story almost every month - I don't know why but when I start reading it I can't stop.

By the by, I recieved your email a few days ago - I never check emails. I'll be responding when I'm back home, as you could no doubt tell me a lot about Cape Breton and her history. I live in the Inverness area.

Again, to all a happy Christmas from myself, Heather and Aaron.

Merry Christmas, and God Bless us Everyone.........

..... I've just watched 'A Christmas Carol' with Alistair Sim. Never seen it before and have to say it was superb.

I wish all the best Christmas and hope Santa's good to all of you.

Thanks so much Peter. We can only hope. Right now our only chance of course is that it will be on one of the more literate TV channels( expecially CBC) and I will scour the Guide for it. Thanks, especially!--for the proper name of it! No wonder I have not been able to find it--now I know what to *look* for.
Merry Christmas to you, O sage leader!

I hope I can find it. I have been looking for 50 years!
I can, maybe, console myself with the wonderful animated Creature Comforts version, which is also extremely funny, if no one can help me.

Welcome to the world of Arabian lovemaking!

"Habibi" is pronounced "ha-bee-bee"... I hope you'll get to say this word often in the next days - I definitely will.

Merry Christmas to all...

Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy Awards Season!

I asked about this some years ago , but there's no harm in trying again:

Penelope, that's awesome! I hope it works out. It's always more fun to have someone to cuddle with for the holidays.

I'm already back in CT and drinking as much as I can, lol.
