Promised I wouldnt post here any more butt I just wanted to stop bye and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years! I am at my parents house in Newport Beach where the family gathers each year for the holiday. Today I'll be helping mom in the kitchen (along with my sister) while the men are off watching football, drinking beer and doing what men usually do. Later we go out for a nice Christmas eve dinner to Hathaways in Corona Del Mar! I think we are all blessed to be living in a society that allows freedom of speech and religion. I think of the many population around the world that dont have the same fortune. We are also baking apple pies that we will be dropping off at a shelter here in Newport on the way to dinner. Hope y'all get a visit from Santa (or Happy Hanukah) and continued successes in the market for 2001. Sincerely, Jane J. Jackson :-)

Yeah, nice find....hasn't it been Mama Bear who walked around shopping malls, telling children that Santa doesn't exist at all...?! But then, have you forgotten that Santa is actually an omnipresent person, much more, a well functioning industry with several thousand branch Santas or Santa branches... perhaps all with the same mission??? But, my nephews tell me that it wears off over time. Maybe the Santa industry could diversify a bit or reinvent itself? Being dependent solely from Santa appears to high a risk factor for the retailers...
