Actually, my partner Clare has, this very morning, headed off into town to stock up on the wrapping paper, gift tags, cards, etc etc for _exactly that reason_ (but she does start the rest of it about August) :rolleyes:

Jeez....I think Orthodox Christians (like myself) get it pretty nicely. Our Christmas is on the 7th on January, so, not is everyone who isn't Orthodox Christian tuckered out from Christmas and New Years, we also get all the mean sales.

It's not that Ukrainians like to barter, and haggle until we get lower costs, we just planned ahead 1000+ years. :D

kaz2100 12-29-2006 08:43 AM

Oh,

It seems that christmas indienick seems to be better.. at least everything is 50% off, some are 98% off sale price. Merchants around me are stingy....

So what does everyone think about linux as a christmass present? (eg. giving someone a preconfigured linux system) Is it worth discussing? (and if so, would a new thread about that be appropriate?)

Well to retain Mega Man X's pedantic mode - Boxing day? Well only in UK and/or some of the commonwealth countries. Erm does the US have a name for the day after crimbo ??? don't know.

In the R.O.I. it'd be "Stevens" (or St Stevens) day, but "christmass" might be a "catholic" thing :D but I wouldn't know, the atheist b*****d that I am (insert small smilie with left arm raised in "power to the people" and broad sardonic smile).
