I see your point. I'll use it for Christmas when everyone starts using it for the Fourth of July, Canada Day and Hannukah.

I will however use Happy Yule instead.

And to those who don't "holiday" during this part of the year? For example, the fella who works in our local Spar shop

Make your own. It's not difficult.

I'd suggest using half plain and half self-raising flour for the pastry though. It makes a wonderful pastry in my opinion.

and book shops don't give out Bibles for free either - you been testing the 'thou shalt not steal' commandment at Chapter's & got one free did you? May be that is why Borders UK (like Chapter's) is going bust.

I don't see an organisation buying millions of the same book every year just to give away for free like churches do. I'd like to see an Aesop's in every hotel room too.

I don't tend to play on-line for that very reason. They say the game is short, but I suck at games now-a-days, so it will probably take me a few days to get through it. If you are stuck for games and have a PS3 then uncharted 2 is worth a look.
