Subject: RE: Christmas 2008 .from Skarpi Iceland
...... the crisis
here has just begun and its gonna get worse in January and February
and things are gonna get bad and if the coverment here is not goin to do sometihng quick , there will be a disaster on the streets
of our capital , just like in Athen Greece ........
I'm not supporting Anarchy BUT I don't see too many politicians around the world who deserve our respect for the appalling decisions they have made/are making.
Lets hope that in 2009 there are a few who emerge as HONEST if nothing else and handle our countries as we do our own homes and lives. We will get out of this mess eventually and there will be better Christmases to come.
We always have a budget for gifts and try to buy them when things are on "special" rather than full price. We are also fortunate in having the ability to make things, which have a far higher than material value.
Being vegetarian, our Christmas Dinner is a day long affair with lots of nibbly things on the table all day long, cheese crackers, vegetarian pate etc and we watch movies all day and stay in our pajamas all day. It's cheaper than meat and has become our tradition.
If you try it, DON'T foget the CHOCOLATE. it's an important ingredient.
Hoping you all ahve a good time at Christmas and a better 2009
