What a great list of Christmas songs! Merry Christmas.

to me it is blindingly obvious that the best Christmas song that ever has been and ever will be is "fairytale of New York " it is indeed the story of a drunk and Junkie who just like us all dream of better things . Threre is a bit of us all in these…

My five cents in this discussion: Driving home for Christmas - Chris Rea

Wonderful subject, my favourite forever is the carol "Silent Night". Did you know that it was first performed in the Church of St. Nicholas in Oberndorf, Austria on December 24, 1818? I remember Whitney Houston sang it, it was a beautiful version.

Agata, thanks for sharing the Polish song. Song: Last Christmas (info) Not quite sure how many people would prefer the covers by the Disney Channel celebrities to the original version. In any case, I hope both groups enjoy the song: Original versio…

Interesting video, I heard some buzz about Google chrome but wasn't sure what it's all about. I will download it because it seems to be simple.

This video and Becky Blanton are remarkable, I think it's about losing and then developing again confidence and the 'winning' attitude. Self-confidence is driven by how you see yourself.

Annet, thanks a lot for sharing your favorite songs. I remember asking some Dutch folks last year about "Dutch Xmas songs" and they could only mention a K3 song. And at the time, I did not even known what K3 was (who they were) .... Anyways, thanks…

Here is one more from me: "Christmas Was A Friend Of Mine" by Dutch musician Fay Lovsky, actually this song was his first hit and became the "evergreen", popular forever.

“The Christmas Song” aka Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire or Merry Christmas to You was written during a blistering hot summer in 1944 to “stay cool by thinking cool”! (more info) Celtic Woman Nat King Cole

However, many cellphone clocks need to be adjusted (set back) manually. You can easily double-check the time shown by your gadgets, by visiting this page.

"Scrubs" actor just fine

You don't need to be a couch potato, or follow celebrity gossip to get this fake news item. An Internet hoax regarding Zach Braff, the actor from "Scrubs", has been circulating around recently. Zach has posted a message (actually more than one!) to deny the rumors.
"Scrubs" is a comedy TV series on personal and professional lives of medical staff. As a "Comedy Central" show, it is very different from… Continue

Pictorial News

This is probably not news to many people. But I post it just in case and because of the passion I have noticed among the members for photography.
Albums of news photos from major news agencies (AP, AFP, Reuters) are posted on Yahoo News every day. Some categories are popular (most emailed/recommended), politics, science, travel, health, odd news, and fashion. Many of the cool real pictures that people forward to each other come from this… Continue

forgot to mention that Nicki was looking for you at the Caribische Zomeravond, Ali. Told her that at the moment the 'poor man' was busy, busy, busy :-). She and Robert suggested that they could pick you up on Sunday week for the Picnic. I told them that I'd be seeing you and let them know if you were able to make it. Hope deadlines will have been met by then so you'll be able to be there with us, enjoying good food and good company. Even perhaps some frivolity after all your hard work :-). Angel

Hi Everybody … I think everything’s under control as regards all the things we discussed (picnicky ‘things’) … but please get in touch with me today if you’ve thought of something else. Thanks to you all for your suggestions, enthusiasm and particularly for ‘sharing the load’ this last week.

And … here’s hoping that the sun smiles on us on Sunday :-)
