I couldn't make it out at my silent yet deadly computer at the Real Life Bureau of Bureaucracies.  But now at home, your 'spacebar'/'enter' played a old-school yet quite hip holiday tune. Cool! (literally !) 3.gif

It's CHRISTMAS, not "HOLIDAY". Damn PC drones.

Yea Holiday banner just doesnt sound right. And besides Christmas is on the 25th, no other  major holiday is on that date. So when referring to the 25th of December please say Christmas. 

And yes very cool banner Dirk, it really fits in with the site layout.  44.gif

    I hope next year's banner has a little flavor from every holiday celebrated during this time of the year. Not just Santa, but the actual meaning to many different people. Is it too un politically correct to put a cross on it? Hehe, anyways it is a good banner.

    Alright, guys, let's take the "Christmas vs. Holiday" fight somewhere else.

    Now then, it looks good... very accurate depiction right down to Rudolph's nose. Although, may I recommend replacing the reindeer with llamas next year?

    Definitely! I think Christmas 2006 was the only year that we didn't have a Christmas banner, but I'm not sure about '03 and '04. Anyway, excellent job, dirk! Your banners are memorable! In fact, I still remember pushing the colored Christmas lights to listen to the different Christmas tunes in '05.

    Merry Christmas Everyone!

    Thanks for the banner, Dirk!

    In honor of Christmas, I would like to dedicate this song to Cheese91.

    and to share one of my

    It's from last year but I still like it.

    We can inspire others through witness so that one grows together in communicating. But the worst thing of all is religious proselytism, which paralyzes: “I am talking with you in order to persuade you.” No. Each person dialogues, starting with his and her own identity. The church grows by attraction, not proselytizing.    - Pope Francis

    Meg: Thanks for that second link! I have always thought that the Trans Siberian Orchestra does the best rock Christmas music ever. I wish they'd play that stuff on the radio instead of a lot of the modern musicians doing their Christmas renditions. 4.gif

    It's cool, Happy Holidays to everyone... but why do I get the feeling that the deer in back are trying to kill the ones in front?

    Well, here it is boxing day, and I finally clicked on the banner.  Wonderful stuff, and excellent graphics too.  Well done, dirk.
