2010 was a tough year for many so all my best wishes for a wonderful 2011 and a great end to this year, with a safe and happy Christmas.

My pressies under the tree don't look big enough to be an Aston Martin. :(

Regards
Gaela

So if you want to beat em, ya gotta join em, and being manual makes the time even more credible.

Merry christmas and a happy new year to all.. Here's to the end of a quite bad year and hope 2011 will bring joy and happiness (and lower fuel prices) to all of us... wether your overseas or not...

also im only getting something worth $50 this year... just so that another amount of money can go to a charity.

Please accept with no obligation, implicit or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practised within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion or secular practices of your choice, with total respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, and their choice not to practise religious or secular traditions at all... and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2011, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make Australia great (not to imply the Australia is necessarily greater than any other country), and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith, sexual orientation and choice of computer platform of the wishee.

By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wishee actually to implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher.

This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

Yes it's here again, the time of year where a bloke in a big red suit, with a white beard shoves himself down the chimney or at least through a window or door, to deliver a wrapped up box. When family & friends get together & enjoy copious amounts of liquid sustenance...... *Merry Christmas!!

This effectively marks my first year on AFF, I've had some good advice, good laughs, & good disagreements in 2010. I hope it gets even better next year.

Not only does he break into houses, we encourage our kids to accept gifts and candy from the same stranger while he is wearing a disguise.
