Theo,
that's not bad at all for a start!
I did study ancient greek in high school, but that doesn't help much in today's Greece! I was in Athens in September and found it greatly changed after the Olympic Games; I really enjoyed my stay.
Ciao!

(a greek name, after all... )

Tapas, while I agree with the sentiment that there is nothing wrong with calling a holiday by it's name, I'm always a little leary of using (hard to verify) statistics to justify it (or anything else of a socially or politically sensitive nature). For instance, in your "World" statistics, when exactly did "Chinese" become a religion? Maybe those 1 Billion + need to go into another category????? Anyhoo, Merry Christmas to all who celebrate that holiday and Happy Holidays to the rest (whatever their number).

Peace,

chas

Andrea,
in Athens in september? You should have notified me.
Anyway, next time, do it. It would be a pleasure to meet you.

P.S. You probably know better Ancient greek than me...ROFL

Gary,

Very funny! I always love humor that has that hint of truth to it. I also want to congratulate you on your use of excellent grammar. Your writings are always a pleasure to read. Merry Christmas Gary to you and your family.
