So once again it is that time of year again. Christmas. And let me just say that I hate Christmas. Not only because I'm a bitter grinch (I can admit it), but because of all that wasteful consumerism running rampant. And let me just say, Christmas came way too early this year. It's in VERY poor taste to be putting Christmas trees and holiday decorations prior to Halloween, and definitely in poor taste to have such things up on Remembrance Day. Yet they were up well before both holidays. Disgusting. Anyhow, let's talk about Christmas cards, or how I'd like to see them, "seasonal greeting cards" which are only sent during one season. I have decided to get into the networking business and I have found sending seasonal greeting cards to be the least offensive manner to keep in touch with all those people you met during the year- "I know you but I don't really know you"-types. You know what I'm talking about. All those people that you know you'll need to keep in touch with because at some point along the road you'll need them. So here I am, attempting to be a seasonal greetings card with no reference to any religion. It's difficult, to say the least. All cards either have references to Christmas, Hanukkah outside and inside the card, or have implicit references with pictures of ornaments or trees.
If I hadn't already sent out my e-card for this Christmas,
this might have made a good one.
It's just too bad that you can't enjoy it in its full size
of 1440 by 1024. And that makes me wonder why the thumbs on
this site don't pop up to full size pictures like those on
"Blogger" sites, for example. I know, Richard - it takes too
much bandwidth to do that. And you guys aren't as rich as the
guys at Google yet. (Who is?) But it would be really nice, if
wishes came true. Meanwhile, enjoy your Christmas!
This was taken about 7:00 A.M., December 12, 2007. These lights across the street are a "work in progress" and have been gradually added onto over the past few days. It may not be quite finished yet, but I thought it made a nice pre-dawn picture.
