Kimonos and obis for the grandmothers, and a Silverado for #1 son have

for such a deserving netizen as Krause? Perhaps a rubber ducky for his
next great Fanta Sea voyage...but then, are gifts really appropriate for
his celebration of Chanukah...

Whatever solstice celebration Harry might observe, (if any), perhaps
glorifying and crowing about the unrestrained acquisition of consumer
goods isn't an inseparable part of his religious tradition. Different
strokes for different folks, as they say.

I'm sure that if your family gets together to pass the shortest days of
the year and contemplates the deep spiritual aspects of life that it
would be a "special" time for all concerned, whether or not you gave
your son a pickup truck. Wouldn't it be fair to say that the family
memories of Christmas 1977 still shine more brightly and are of greater
value than some motor vehicle you bought about that same time? If so,
then we do agree on at least a few things, don't we?

How thoughtful of you to express such a concern and sensitivity for the
religious celebrations and proclivities of your fellow human beings-
(wondering about an appropriate holiday gift for somebody you suspect
may be Jewish). The milk of human kindness "runneth" over from your
cup. You're a better Mann than anyone gives you credit for, Dave. A tip
o' my hat to you. Have a pleasant Sunday.


I thought you'd stopped this!
