It is that time of year to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. To those of the Jewish faith, have an enjoyable Hanukkah, I believe they will be lighting the fourth candle this evening. To those who do not celebrate this festive season enjoy the holiday and the days off work. To those who are under the weather, a speedy and full recovery. In my old office one of our fellow engineers was a Hindu from India, his family celebrated Christmas without the religious aspect. They decorated their home, outside with lights, inside with a tree, they gave gifts to family and friends, the kids had their school chums over, they also had a Christmas dinner. He always stated why not enjoy the holiday and join in with most others. Christmas is a time of giving and appreciation for what we have received, the religious aspect is not for all but even so we can all respect others beliefs and just have a good holiday. Living in Canada and having one of highest percentages of multiculturalism in the world we soon learn a fair bit about other customs. Definitely not being Mr. Scrooge I wish everyone A very Merry Christmas and a safe pleasant holiday. Frohe Weihnachten 'Nollaig Shona Daoibh' Bob CDN
