May all your suits always break.
May all your finesses always work.
May all your menaces be always rightly placed.
In other words MERRY XMAS and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR

Merry Christmas to all. For those not of that belief, happy holiday season. To all, Happy New Year. For those that have a different New Year, Happy New Year for when that happens.

Won't be good in duplicate but a nice goal for money bridge.
Everyone have a happy celebration of anything you might be celebrating and a prosperous 2007.

So its not very merry for me ever since.

Indeed. Midwinter is a pagan festival that predates Christianity. In a cunning move the church hijacked it.

This has been repeated so many times it has been taken as true. It may be true but I have read some stuff that puts this back into the myth repeated so often it must be true.
This would make for an intesting discussion if anyone has any new research papers on the subject.
In the meantime...
A very very Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all!
BTW what is up with all the European BBO players moving to America...heck ain't we got enough competition without importing them.
