Good morning, my fellow Seibertronians! I just got up, saw that Santa Claus stopped by last night (wow - he must've actually thought I was good (heh heh)) and thought I'd wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. On that note, I'm going to go enjoy Christmas morning with my family. I hope that all of you enjoy this special day.

And for those of you who don't celebrate Christmas ... Happy Holidays!
