Some items I have found and compiled in one folder at the library (see http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Fiction/_Newton%20Christmas/ ), but wasn't there more once upon a time? Do you know of any XMas/Hannukah/Kwaanza/Solstice-packages that I don't have filed yet? Pls. post a link here or mail it to me for adding to the Lib. Or are you maybe even going to create something new for your Newton and your fellow Newtonians? Then be sure to cc. me a copy when you're releasing it so I can upload it together with the other stuff. Dancing Christmas trees, backdrop images, holiday startup-screens, books, sounds, more TTS-caroling, recipes... Anything goes and everybody can, if only your heart is in it... It's the spirit of giving... Good will to all Newton-kind... Spreading love and cheer... After the tremendously terrifying success with the recent Halloween-Horror-Challenge (see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=113027338100003&r=1&w=2 )--a mindboggling one (1) 0/oo (promille) of NTLK's subscribers (you) were motivated to contribute or even comment, including myself...--I'm excitedly looking forward to see all the goodies you generous folks come up with this time!
