I'm sorry Beachy, you can't say the word "Christmas" anymore in the defense industry. You say, "Year end festivities." Wouldn't want to hurt the feelings of someone who celebrates some other holiday around this time of year. Besides, Santa doesn't have a green card so he isn't allowed "in country" anymore. :?

Sorry, I have trouble being politically correct..........too much to keep up with. Every time I think I know what's right, they've changed it again!!

Best wishes for "Year-End Festivities" to all!
