To all those here that I have offended, amused, made sad, made happy.
To all those here that I have laughed with, cried with, joked with argued with.
To all those here that I have shared my joys with, my pain with, my ailments with and anything else.
To all those here that have done all of the above back to me.
May tomorrow be everything you all wish it to be and you all find joy and love with your families and friends.
As an old Christian Brothers boy I still remember the reason for the celebration, so please take a few moments to give thanks to the little baby that made all of the above possible for us.
Have a lovely day
Cheers
Brian and Doreen

To all those who don't want to celebrate Christmas for fear of offending someone, feel free to have your "holiday", as it is also a Holy Day. So no matter how you do it, it's not going to go away.
You've never offended me, you have made me laugh, and wish you both a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2012.

Stuck in Fairbairn Tourist Village, enjoying Christmas with many others, and another GN member. More about him later (after tonight's sausage sizzle and sing up). No names, no pack drill. Shhhhhh!

We are not going to let others spoil our Christmas, we know the reason for Christmas and the reason for Jesus birth which we celebrate with our family openly every year without any fear of offending others as we welcome them celebrating their special day. Our message to schools etc that have banned carols and Christmas think again this is Australia and we celebrate Christmas carols and all.

I'm with aussietraveler, christmas is a time of Peace, love, and goodwill to All, your message to schools is well founded, as far as i can see, it is not the other religions that want to stop our celebrations, in fact they tell us to embrace our religion and culture. it is usually some green do-gooder who takes it on themselves, to not offend those who are not offended !!!! and they create a lot of disharmony, in doing so.
So to you and your family, and to all other mankind out there i wish you all a time of peace, love, harmony, and friendship in this holiday period
AND *** A MERRY XMAS **** TO ALL

GS, when you say "give thanks to the little baby that made all of the above possible for us."
Do you mean Bill Gates?

For those who know not Christmas, for those who grieve and can not find it, for the lonely and alone who sit beside it..................... blessings, and may 2012 be better
