As a "first to see the light" New Zealander I hope I may be excused * in
wishing a blessed Christmas for all PICLISTites on behalf of, presumably,
most PICLISTites.

A thought - Christmas will be happening somewhere on earth for the next 49
hours starting midnight NZ time (2 hours from now).



God bless you all,
                                Russell McMahon


*    If we all did this the list would be filled with OT greetings for a
    week so as Christmas starts in 2 hours from now for us I'll
    presume on behalf of the rest, for most of whom it starts to happen
    somewhat later on.
