Merry Christmas and many thanks for the wonderful gifts you've given us all through the year. Personally, I'm not surprised at the growth of your followers. Quality attracts quality:-)

There's another notable event of Christmas of 1989. Nicolae & Elena Ceausescu were arrested and disposed of. Genocide was at the top of a rather long list of charges. This might sound a bit macabre to some people. However, those of us with friends families behind the then Iron Curtain view it as closer to the demise of a junior Hitler.

Fun fact: There're older people in eastern Europe who'll tell you that WWII lasted 50 years. Soviet troops started arriving in 1939 and the last didn't leave until 1989.
