While I do enjoy the time off as a non-believer, I racked up a whooping $2500 credit card bill from having to buy all those gifts. Almost had a heart attack after seeing the bill.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.

Being Russian, I don't have to buy Christmas presents, instead New Years presents, which means I can shop the day after Christmas, and get my stuff on sale.

I still maintain that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 not because of a yet to occur disaster, but because some of the stone cutters realized what a waste of time an effort is it to carve a calendar into a 3 ton stone. Especially when the dates in the calendar are going to be centuries after you and everyone you know are going to be dead, and that any of your descendants, should your bloodline survive down through the centuries, are most likely going to be completely unaware of that they are descended from you.

Anyway. Everyone have a Safe and Happy New Year!

Todjaeger, I also don't believe in their idea/concept of an "end" and the subsequent 2012 hype!

Sorry, it started as a recollection of a cartoon with two stonecutters working on a stone wheel in front of a Mayan pyramid, then turned into a rant...

I guess I should pack it in for the night.

-Cheers
