Merry Christmas & a happy 2006!

I decided to steal the snow from mame.gr forums and bring some of it here... ;)
I also have changed the main logo to the one that GEOANAS has made last year. Anyway...

I would like to wish to all of you and your families happy holidays. Let's hope that 2006 will be a better year and -for a change- let's all try to make it happen. Let's all try to help each other. Let's all donate some of our love (if  you can't afford money) to those who really need it. Let's all visit our families and try not to argue with them but be polite instead.

Let's finally, hope that this year will be peaceful with no wars in Iraq or anywhere in the world and let's all play a game when we are angry or tired. Keep the child alive in you, no matter how old you are. It's the most precious thing that someone has inside...

Merry Christmas and a happy new year...
