Bruce, if I remember correctly, the little baubles that we all enjoy smashing, are only visible on the desktop version.
I wanted to vote yes, put I couldn't not give the Durif a vote.

What's xmas

What's xmas

That time of yr where you:
buy something for other people, in hope you get something back that you won't need to label so you don't accidentally regift it to the same person
look delighted at what they thought you would like (while in the back of your mind you are thinking they don't know you at all)
eating too much
possibly drinking too much
if at a large family gathering (where the childhood yrs still hold some personal grudges) getting prepared to either defend yourself or finally get out all those childhood frustrations, hoping it remains verbal and not turn nasty or physical
..... and in general, be happy and have a great time

Or for those who have survived those yrs with only a few emotional scares
make a rule about no gift giving
buy something you always wanted but thought it was a tad extravagant
wrap it and put it under the tree, if you are like me, you will have forgotten all about it and be delighted that Santa finally 'got you' and bought something you always wanted
have a great time with family and friends at a Christmas dinner
spend the rest of the day and the following day asking yourself why you ate so much
checking the fridge to see if any of the stuff you liked was still available .... and looking at what will be the next meals and sandwich fillings till New Yr at least
then settle back and remind yourself, you made it through this yr and you have a whole yr till it all happens again

Wasn't there also something about a baby born in a stable?

I think his name was Santa something...

Let's not start getting into religion please, everyone is welcome to believe what ever they want .... Santa always brings me exactly what I wanted .... it says so on the present label .... someone takes the money out of my account to buy it, but if Santa is putting his hand up for giving me the gift .... who am I to argue No idea if he was born in a stable or slightly deranged state, I'm not gunna question someone who actually knows just what I want and buys it for me, best ever secret Santa

Well that fixed that!!
Might buy a packet of balloons & send over to Tanks! ??

What about the Durif? That came in equal second place after all The money saved from all those broken bulbs and having to vacuum them out of the keyboard, surely would be enough to cover the cost of the Durif
