Default Ho Ho Santa Neal brought me Christmas gift.

It was a dark, cold and stormy night.
I was sitting in front of my computer when I heard or I thought I could hear the sound of reindeers and something that sounded like "Ho ho merry Christmas"

Must have been the TV, which was running in the background.

Next day in the afternoon I had to take the bus, and when I opened the door, a parcel was laying on the stairway.

So it was Santa Neal who have taken his Reindeer and his sled and taken a world tour to deliver presents to his members.

It was two present one of them was a cap with the Subsim logo and a some sort of magnet I could put on the front door of my refrigerator.
The word Subsim was on the front of this magnet.

Made me happy.

If you look inside the cap Markus you should find a $100 bill taped to the underside of the peak

Default Christmas Card??

I cannot believe I got a Christmas card from this place! Hahaha.... ahhh, what a damned special group of guys.

I am quite sure it would have been a pleasure to serve with all of you.

But what the heck does "I BLAME BERNARD" mean?? ;D

Cheers, brothers.

- Doogan

In honor of Fluckey, Calvert, and O'Kane.

"BERNARD" has been around here fictitiously for many many years. He is the one we all blame when anything goes wrong.

Ahhh, wonderful. Well, ignorant to the fun traditions though I may be, I sure do appreciate getting a little Christmas postcard. What a cool bunch of people.

God be with you lads.

(Theodor Storm house, Husum)




I wish you christmas

I wish you starlight on fields of snow,
The winter's morning light and evening's glow;
I wish you candles that shine from every tree,
So all the world can see
The light that there could be.

I wish you music, I wish you song,
With voices echoing, Joyous and strong;
I wish you church bells, ringing true and clear;
I wish you Christmas, a merry Christmas,
A merry Christmas to remember all the year.

Old friends smiling,
Thinking of times gone by;
Young friends laughing:
Christmas is here,
Spirits are bright,
And hopes are high.

I wish you loved ones around your fire;
May Christmas bring you all your heart's desire.
I wish you children to make the season new,
With dreams you help come true,
Just like it was for you.

I wish you blessings, I wish you love,
The sound of angel choirs from high above,
I wish you laughter, happiness and cheer
I wish you Christmas, a merry Christmas,
And may its joy and peace be with you through the year.

I wish you music, I wish you song;
I wish you harmony your whole life long
The warmth of memories that long remain
I wish you Christmas, a merry Christmas,

And may God bless you till we all shall meet again.

(John Rutter)
