Merry Christmas and a very Happy & Prosperous New Year to you all. I also wish our moslem faithfuls a most Rewarding & Successful Hajj - The Holy Pilgrimage. As we savour these holidays and bask/meditate in the appropriate rituals, let's remember the less-privileged, the poor, all those caught up in wars, and the infirm. Let's pray and act for world peace.

Oh, please wish UN Sec-Gen Ban Ki-Moon well. He'll need it!

Blessed holidays to world leaders, too! You know what I mean.
