[Toybox]

Well, almost.

So in all likelihood I won't be able to access a computer for the following couple of weeks. Hence, I must wish you all in advance, a

Merry Christmas

and

Happy New Year

And the same to you, Toybox. Enjoy your vacation. Are you going somewhere exciting?

Merry Christmas and peace in the new year!

Thank you [smiley=beer.gif]

I'll be away to Greece (hoping it won't be too exciting!)

My husband is of Greek ancestors, and we hope to visit there someday. I especially want to explore the Greek Isles, they're so beautiful.

I am sure there are many more that I have omitted as I am not familiar with them, so please feel free to add to the list.

And this part should cover everyone.........

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL!!!

Thank you again for being there and sharing.

Actually, there are several cultures which have different start of the years (Chinese, Jewish, maybe Persian). And of course there is the French Republican Calendar which starts on 22d of September - that is, le premier Vendémiaire.

But thank you anyway, have a lovely, um, winter solstice yourself [smiley=beer.gif]

Hey, don't we have a forum member from Greece? Bo Peep, maybe?

Oh, does that mean that the French Republic start January 1st the day after Sept 22nd????? hmmmmm.
What do they do with the left over mths ie: Oct, Nov, Dec????
Relax, don't get your knickers in a knot, I am only teasing. hee, hee, hee.

BTW Toybox: I noticed that you live in Germany. I just asked my mom where in Germany her family ties are. Nurmburg and Berlin, and if they follow the same time frame of celebration as we do here in Canada. She said of course.
So between the Polish/German/Italian/Canadian heritage......I am a Merry Christmas and a Jan 1st New Year Heinze 57 Child. hee, hee.

A very happy holidays and wishing you all a prosperous New Year.  ;D
