[Coco] OT: Merry XMAS

[Nick Marentes]

Christians can celebrate the original interpretation of Christmas as the 
birth of Christ.

Other religions can do it their way.

For others, they can have a glass of Coke to celebrate...

Whatever your interpretation of Christmas, have a merry Christmas and a 
happy new year.

Lets's hope for peace in the world and that our beloved CoCo idealogy 
stays with us into the future and we remember what a great time in our 
lives it was when the CoCo first sat under our Christmas tree.  :)
