John;

Speaking of Christmas … If I may-

The military is famous for creating interesting expressions. The last Christmas I was in the Air Force our Base Commander (three stars at that!) created a lovely document with this message:

“December 25th will be recognized as Christmas Day!

By order of the Base Commander!”

I love it! :)
