The True Meaning of Xmas
My mother complains every year that christmas has lost its true meaning. It's buried in the brightlights and the capitalism. Last night I drove past a house where the christmas lights had been arranged into the name 'Jesus' and I thought that this was a particularly clever idea. I went home and did the same thing, arranging my christmas lights so they said, simply 'Leon'. With a name like Jesus, i figure that guy must have been Spanish. A creative lot, your spaniards: look at Gaudi. This is the beauty of Christmas: a time to just forget about all the world's problems and focus on yourself for once. Ahhh. Hope that makes mum happy.
And if you haven't yet seen that "amazing christmas lights display set to music" that's doing the rounds, here's a link to it and another.

Maybe for the latter you could make it more clear that the RSS feed is incomplete...

Matthew -- yes i know i know. I use a content manglement system i wrote myself ('SmartJelly') and hence there's a bunch of quirks in there. This one results from SmartJelly's original CMS purpose, as opposed to its current use: as a blog engine.
maybe i'll fix this bug one day... just maybe. thanks for the feedback.
