It seems to me that a couple of things are happening. Firstly
technology change, secondly generational change.

There was an article in today's Sunday Times, to the tune that
Hallmark report flat sales and Australia Post is doing less mail,
due to emails, Facebook and all the rest.

It seems that boomers still send christmas cards, its an old
tradition, but Gen Y are ditching the concept.

I ditched the idea years ago, so I must be youthful of mind :)

The most amusing people I find are those who keep Christmas Cards
and string them up in following years, to show how many cards
they received!

Merry Christmas Graham and Staff - thank you for giving me the invaluable opportunity to read and learn from other people and express my views in the hope I have offered something to assist some other people.

Merry Christmas to all OLO people for being tolerant of those views and more importantly, thank you for all of your views this year that have assisted myself and children.

We're all so terrified of global warming - this being the hottest year of all time, that we have retreated into our caves and are waiting it out!

i have got some unbelievable xmass cards
and recon i will mail them to everyone
who gives grayham...a snail mail adress
[in austraklia only]

there is reason for my madness
see i had a vision

ok yeah sounds like more a christmas visit from 3 wise men
[ok one was a woe-man...but 3 wise guys from everday normal[living]..beings

but no
see the vision..has inspired me to errect the family XCHRIST-mas tree
[the fake one]

see im putting my tree up...at 12...pm..tonight
and pulling it down at easter
[to be never errected[raised from its death]....till this time..NEXT YEAR

its my new[latest]..family custom
the jesus[christ]xmass tree
that lives on till his 'death'
[you know where he came back...proving there is no 'reserction day...[aas well as no judgment day..[or he too would still 'be there'

but he wernt
because he rose from the dead
like we all shall

just like the xmass tree..im putting up ..in about one hour

staying 'up'
till easter

imagine...CELIBRATIONG THIS TIME
to that time..just like we just 'DID..
go back to how thibngs used to be
loving neighbour
and the NEW year[that rightfully began...today]
and ended in glory on the cross

and came back to proove it
[time to open..the east gate
[and move the cemitry...that alone..Prevents his return

anyhow
wanna a card
send grayham
$2

[is this ok gray?]

Happy Boxing Day OUG.

yesterday
3 wise men...advised me of the birth of the saviour
behold the christ child was born...at the setting of the day

his mother [creator]..is named mary
and father-life giver god

his patriarchal parent shall be joseph
thus..his genetic inheritance..shall be from his mothers side

now comes the concern to circumsize or not
we have 7 days to decide

anyhow..this is the notice of his birth

you shall call him emmanuel..[god within us all]
he shall see no sin..yet see god with us

he shall live from now
till easter..when he dies

he must live 33 years...in 3 months
this child was born old

he shall give the serman on the mount
sometime in feburay[valinitines day]

he shall attend a wedding..in canna
early in the new year

let us rejoice this gift of god
but keep in mind he is man/child..born of woman
that we see him do[over the next 3 months]
we shall yet do greater..for he is but a child

we further would like to recognise..the birth of john..[the eldest]
born to the high priest
and his octagenerian wife

we live in amasing times

john shall wander the deserts for 33 years
jewsus shall wander the desert..for 40 days

john shal eat loquests..and honey
[only the very hungry..eat living animals..[loqusts..resist eating]

i seem to have a head ache..[from excitement..or the celibration with old wine]...but fel for today...the erection of my bound tree[last night]...and this notice of birth..full fills my promises..[for now]

we shall top off
or lop of..the tip of the tree in 7 days

each day we shall add a bauble symbolical..of jesus life

its thought because john shall surely loose his head
we shall lop /chop...off the fore skin's of both

but shall leave this for the holy father to decide
this is not womans/mothers business
she mearly deliverd the body...
[house]..for his holy spirrit to reside in for a life-term

just as he shall reside in spirit..with us..in the xmass tree..till the sure day of his death..[the day of the exodus..when he left]
