901.0. "The Womannotes fireplace mantel" by CSC32::M_VALENZA (Echo and the Bunnymen.) Fri Dec 15 1989 13:58

    Well, it's that time of the year again, and it seemed only appropriate
    that this notes conference should have its own fireplace mantel for the
    placement of holiday cards.

    ====================
     SEASON'S GREETINGS
    ====================
    
    To all WOMANNOTERS,
    
         I wish you all a warm and wonderful holiday season.
    Thank you to those who write here for enriching my life
    over the past year.  I'm looking forward to to another
    year of good reading in the coming year.  I hope everyone's
    New Year is as fulfilling, exciting and wonderful as the
    one I'm working looking forward to.

901.3My wish for the 90's for those that my life has touched...ICESK8::KLEINBERGERAll that u have is your soulFri Dec 15 1989 21:1433
    
May you find serenity and tranquillity in a world you may not always 
understand.  May the pain you have known and the conflict you have 
experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each 
new situation with courage and optimism.  

Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will 
always be there, even when you feel most alone.  May you discover 
enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace.  May a 
kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day 
of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them.  
Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.  Teach love to 
those who know hate, and let that love embrace you as you go into 
the world...

May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that
you may call upon them.  Remember, that those whose lives you have 
touched and who have touched yours are always a part of you, even 
if the encounters were less than you would have wished.  It is the 
content of the encounter that is more important than its form.  
May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead 
place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart.  
Find time in each day to see beauty and love in the world around you.  
Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is 
different in our own way.  What you may feel you lack in one regard 
may be more than compensated for in another.  What you feel you lack 
in the present may become one of your strengths in the future.  May
you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.

Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.  May you find 
enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and 
not be dependent on another's judgment of your accomplishments.
May you always feel loved.

    A Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years to all here.  I am
    looking forward to meeting most of you in May when I land on your
    shores...be warned! (^'
    
    Remember while you are all in front of the fires next week, we,
    downunder are in front of the air conditioners, fans, etc.  It's about
    30C degrees here at Christmas.
    
    Best to all for the new decade...

    Charles,  

    Did you pick this up on the Eastcoast at Keeper's II????   That is
    one of their old one's at the holiday season!!!   Sometimes it takes
    awhile especially if all the letters are run together.

    Hope you are getting ready for the really BIG season next year with
    your soon-to-be new addition to carry on Santa's tradition.  Will
    really change the season for you immensely!!!   Start saving your 
    pennies now!!

    Hope everyone had as pleasant a holiday as they could.

    justme....jacqui
901.20QUARK::LIONELFree advice is worth every centTue Dec 26 1989 13:258
I've seen Charles' version a number of places.  For the past couple of years,
I've baffled some people with a button I wear.  It's a round button with
a capital L in green surrounded by a red circle with a diagonal slash through
the L.  Some people go as far as to say it out loud before they realize what
it means. Most people stand there and try to figure out what the L stands for.
It seems there is some gap between the visual and aural senses in our brain.

	The light of the sun returns;

	Rejoice, rejoice;
	Within all things she reigns;
	Rejoice, rejoice;
	Life, death and all that is between.

901.23Memories of a Florida ChristmasSYSENG::BITTLEhymn to herWed Dec 27 1989 12:2228
	o  fav house light decoration : a blown-up alligator outlined with
   				 green lights chasing Santa up a palm tree

	o  getting to know my family again; feeling *very* grateful I grew
	   up in a place where love was not a scarce commodity

	o  sadness for friends' parents whose income/wealth is dependent
	   on their orange groves/strawberry crop.  The mercury plunged to 22 
	   degrees in Central Florida.  FL Power couldn't handle the demand 
	   and did cyclical 15 minute brownouts -- so much for the expensive 
	   electric water pumps protecting the crops :-(.

	o  ALL the citrus in our yard (oranges, grapefruit, lemons, tangerines)
	   that had to be picked.  Of course, my mother wouldn't let me return
	   home without an entire suitcase full of oranges & grapefruit(yuck)
	   that I'll never be able to finish [would anyone care to sample some
	   backyard-fresh citrus?]

	o  a cold and wet day running throughout Disney/EPCOT/MGM Studios
	   ans a very sunny and slightly warm day at Cocoa Beach!

	o  one very unexpected new toy - a surfboard !!  But what do I do with
	   it in MASS ;-] ?

	I hope everyone's holiday was peaceful and relaxing as mine...

	Very funny, Laura ;-].  If my memory serves me correctly, I was
	not the only one to think your little MG inside your garage 
	looked like a snowmobile from the outside :-p!

    Yeah, but Nancy, the difference between my MG and a snowmobile is that
    it's *warmer* riding around on the snowmobile in winter than it is in my
    car!  I guess those Brits didn't have in mind -30 degrees when they
    built those little soup cans!

    Gee, should I be upset about this size-ist remark?

901.27...HAPPY NEW YEAR...ICESK8::KLEINBERGERNo parking, no exit, no U-turnSun Dec 31 1989 14:2710
    Well, its the 31st of December....  I for one am getting ready to go
    to a party that will end with a breakfast after the sun rises....

    So... since I won't be here at midnight to say Happy New Year, thought
    I'd leave it here just a wee bit early...

    Happy New Year to one and all...  May the year hold only the dreams
    and wishes that you hope for.
