John & Cathy: When a thread has more than 100 posts in it, some folks can't bring it up on their computers. That's why yo'll see most long threads divided into parts ("continued on part 2, part 3, etc."). Those that aren't divided up should be!
So please, don't post any additional comments here. Instead, please post to the thread called "MORE ON de-Xing Xmas - continued". Thanks!
