Merry Christmas to all! It is that wonderful time of year once again when we surround ourselves with artificial trees, artificial eggnog, plastic mistletoe and of course commercially processed fruitcake. Ahhh, what a season!

To begin with I have been quite busy this holiday season adding some new things to my Extras page! I have added Yet another web set: Pirate's treasure, not to mention I have also added Four new Pixies in "A pixie for Every Season" AND New holiday garlands to decorate your own web pages with! To find them just scroll down the page and look for the "NEW!". I have also added a New Christmas Card that you can download, print and send to your friends!

The new alien Nermal is still here, and it seems she is going to stay, despite my best efforts to shove her out the door. Strangely enough she won't go anywhere near the door. I guess that maybe she knows that it is cold and wet outside and that it is warm and dry in here and apparently she has no desire to be outside again. As for her mission, she has not been doing a lot towards it. She mostly spends her days curled up with The-Short-One sleeping, or sleeping on the back of the recliner, or playing under the Christmas tree. I think that perhaps she does not yet understand Christmas presents and that she thinks there is something secret wrapped in them and is trying to uncover what this secret might be. Frankly she will be disappointed if she manages to open any of them because all she will get is a spanking!

Well, The-Special-Edition of The Return of The King is out but I have no money! I spent it all on Christmas! I am hoping The-Short-One will get it for Christmas from her dad since she told Charlie to suggest it to him. Whether she will or not I do not know, but I am hoping!

As for Bubbles, I was wrong. I thought that he meant he was going to quit bothering everyone with his Teddy Government questions, but I was wrong! He has made a sign, which says "You Can't Repress the Truth" which he now carries around with him everywhere! Of course when our fellow classmates asked what this was about he climbed on his desk and incited them to riot! He told them that the school system was trying to hide the truth from all the bears and refused to truly educate them. He said that our school system was a sham designed to keep us from wondering about the truth and that there really was NO government at all, just a few bossy bears who have set themselves up as dictators! Well, several of our classmates made themselves signs as well, and when Mrs. Friendly came in they were marching in circles yelling "Down with the Dictator!". To get them to be quiet Mrs. Friendly finally had to send them all to the principals office, which they say is proof of their repression and so they proceeded to spread the word throughout the school! By lunchtime there was a school wide riot, with bears waving signs and yelling about dictators and bear's rights! There were spitball fights going on in the halls, food fights in the cafeteria and chaos everywhere you looked. Final y the principal waded into the middle of the mess and yelled for everyone to be silent and to behave or else! This seemed to do the trick and so all of the bears that participated in the riot had to spend the rest of the day cleaning up the mess they made. Then all the teachers got together and CANCELLED all of the school's Christmas parties! They said that everyone had wasted a day of lessons and that the day needed made up and so because of that we would spend our last day of the year doing SCHOOL WORK! Needless to say this has not gone over well, and everyone is quite upset about it. Frankly I am slightly upset at Bubbles's involvement. I spent al last year telling Mrs. Friendly that Bubbles would be moving here soon and that he would not be a trouble maker like that bear Booy and then what has Bubbles done? He has surpassed Booy! Booy just poisoned Toady, he didn't incite a riot that got our Christmas party cancelled! Bubbles is still my best friend, but I told him he needs to be good before he gets expelled, and guess what he said? "It won't matter, we'll learn the same lessons next year! We will never get out of school!" but that is not true because Boo Boo and Peanuts and Timmy don't go to school anymore! I just don't know what I am going to do with him!

Tomorrow is Sonnet and Easter's Christmas concert. I think it is bound to be a strange evening, as the acts they have signed up seem to be a bit sketchy at best. I can not believe they did not ask me to help, as I am a seasoned pro at these things, but evidently they decided I didn't have the time to produce a Christmas show, what with having to keep Bubbles in line and everything else I am doing this year.

Not much else is going on around here. There has been NO snow, so it is not very Christmas-y outside, though I have watched all three Charlie Brown Christmas specials and "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" and I am listening to a radio station that plays 24 hour a day Christmas music. It just wasn't the same this year without our Conway Twitty Christmas album! We listen to it every year while we decorate, but this year the needle on the record player broke so we couldn't hear it! I wish someone would find it on CD, but these people are worthless when it comes to buying anything useful!

Well, I guess I am going to be going for now.

Merry Christmas,
O

Here is nermal trying to unwrap the presents.

And this is the begining of the riot.

This is a small sample of the riot.
