Yule lasts 12 nights.  If you start at New Years Day on January first
and count back 12 nights the day you land on is the night before the
winter solstice.  It's almost like it was designed that why.  Oh right,
it actually was designed that way.  ;^)  So glad Yule day 5 to the
heathens, merry Christmas to those who celebrate it.

Amazon.com sent me an e-mail yesterday suggesting that I might like to
buy Babylon 5 from them since I've purchased other B5 items from them. 
I marked their database that I already own it.
