Merry Christmas to all.
A wonderful group of people.

I will be alone, If you want to know who I am please see me under the
Baltimore listing, or visit my site. Subject: Anyway you slice it . . . Americans who use the expression "as American as apple pie" ought to pay an import tax on it. Apple pie, in its origins at least, is about as American as fois de gras. William the Conqueror brought apple pie with him from France when he invaded England in 1066. English colonists brought the dish to the New World. Next thing you know they'll be saying that pizza originated in Italy and not in New Jersey.
(Source: THE JOY OF TRIVIA) Subject: The Christmas Story Ben Boxer wishes Merry Christmas to our Christian subscribers! The Christmas Story And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up out of Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and of the lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. But while he thought about these things, behold, and angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, Son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name, Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." So this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet, saying: "Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Emanuel, which is translated, God with us." Then Joseph being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And called His name, Jesus. So it was that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea on the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, "Where is He who had been born the King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him." When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered together all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. So the said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the Prophet: "But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the rulers of Judah; for out of shall come a Ruler who will shepherd My people Israel." Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, determined from them what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found him, bring back word to me, the I may come and worship Him also."
Now there were in the country, shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, the angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring great tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the host praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"
So it was, when the angels had gone away from
them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one
another, "Let us go to Bethlehem and see this
thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has
made known to us." And they came with haste
and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying
in the manger. Now when they had seen Him,
the made widely known the saying which was
told to them concerning the Child. And all those
who heard it marveled at those things which
were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept
these things and pondered them in her heart.
Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and
praising God for all the things that they had
heard and seen as it was told them.
Subject: Wishes from Tonka
Tonka of London (UK) and his beloved silverfox are spending the holidays in
Acapulco. Before he unsubscribed from the list for the trip, he asked me to
wish all of you a Merry Christmas. When he returns and resubscribes himself,
he promises to tell us about it. I told him to eat worms while there. I am
not kidding. They deep-fry a special fat worm and serve it from baskets on
the beaches. They are the same worm a certain tequila uses as a trademark,
sealed in the bottle! They are delicious! Direct protein, you know. I wonder
if he will do it. I also told him to avoid Shakey's Pizza in Acapulco. I
went in there one night years ago just before they closed. Starved, I asked
for whatever they had left. They brought me precisely that -- the only thing
left in the house: a canned-tuna pizza. YECH! Desperate, I ate it anyway.
Haven't eaten much pizza since, or tuna fish, either. Canned, that is. I had
RAW tuna (maguro) sashimi for dinner the other night at a Japanese
restaurant. THAT, I like! Fish is a funny thing. When I arrived at an army
camp for Basic Training a hundred years ago, they rushed us through the mess
hall and served us salmon croquettes. Usually I love salmon, but that night
it nearly killed me. They carried me out of the barracks on a stretcher at
two in the morning, pumped my stomach at three, and had me back and snug in
my bed by four -- just in time for my very first U.S. Army reveille at five.
When the bugle sounded, a black guy sprang out of the next bunk, took one
look at me, and shouted: "I think this guy's dead! I've seen me some white
men in my time, but this man is WHITE!" He became my best friend in Basic.
We used to drink beer in the PX together with other friends, but they always
called us, "Black and White." I didn't eat salmon croquettes again for 20
years, and I don't like them very much today. But I love poached salmon!
Yeah, fish is a funny thing, speaking of which, did I ever tell you about
the time I ate some pussy? Hmmm. Canned-tuna pizza, anyone?
Subject: No hurry for Xmas cards The rush has been on all month for the FREE Silverfoxes Clubhouse Virtual Christmas cards. This week has been spectacular. Hundreds have gone out this weekend alone. You can find them here. There are some New Year 2001 cards, too, plus many others not associated with holidays. Don't forget to pick some music to go with the card! I have attached a sample. There's no hurry, however. They will be available for sending through January 6, which is the way they celebrate Christmas in some countries. You've heard the carol "The 12 Days of Christmas"? That's the way we do it here. It goes on and on. Christmas only BEGINS today. Hurrah! January 6th officially ends the Christian holiday. It's the traditional date for the visit of the Magi (the Wise Men, the Three Kings) and many people give gifts at that time rather than on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Some of ""The Aztec Gypsy," a non-sexual story of mine on the Web (in one of my other names), begins during the 12 Twelve Days of Christmas and ends at Easter. I used to write tales about holidays I have celebrated in my life, designed matching cards, printed them out and sent them to friends before I got on the Internet and found that snail-mail ain't the way to go anymore. You might enjoy "The Aztec Gypsy." It takes place in Mexico many years ago. Most people love it because it is very sentimental. Everybody cries. I once visited a foxhunter as his guest over the Christmas holiday. We had a GREAT time. I took him a copy of "The Aztec Gypsy." I was tired one evening and sat in a lounge chair near the cozy fireplace cat-napping the way us old folks do. He chose that time to read the story. I watched him through half-closed eyes as he read. I was satisfied by his reactions. He giggled where he was supposed to, laughed out loud at the right places, looked sad at others, and burst into tears at the end. When I finally looked up as if I had just awakened, he was teary-eyed and came over and kissed me on top of my bald head. "You sure can make a grown man cry," he said. It touched me to the heart that my little story had entered the door to his inner self. You can read it here. Another Christmas story I wrote a couple of years ago might entertain you, too, if you like SILVERFOXY LOVE stories! This one I wrote as Ben Boxer, and it's in three places on the Web this Christmas season. It's also sentimental, especially for silverfoxes like me who remember crushes we had long ago. It is a work of fiction.
It's called "12 E-mails for Christmas," plus "E-mail 13." There is a
written version in the Silverfoxes Clubhouse Library
and also a RECORDED version (where I read it to you
in RealAudio) at the Silverfoxes Clubhouse
and also in Boxer's Booths (where I have several hours of my recordings) at
Boxer's Foxes Snooker Club (for members only).
Subject: A happy camper Got the nice message below from a happy camper whose pix are in the Lockers at the Clubhouse. I am sharing it with you to show the kinds of letters I get from the men brave enough to throw themselves to the lions (you guys out there) and how they prosper from it. As the fellow below has discovered, he's good eatin'! For those of you who have sent pix and are still waiting for them to appear on the site, I'm working furiously through the holidays to catch up. My partner, Ron, is helping when he can, so together we may get good news to you by the end of the holidays. Thanks for your patience. Smooch! As for the rest of you, where are your pix? Please send clear photos of yourself and make them large enough to use. The teeny tiny ones won't do it, and if they are dark and underexposed, there's not much I can do with them. We need silverfoxes and foxhunters. You don't have to be a hunk. Some people go for squirrelly little blokes like you! Age is no problem, either. You're 90 years old? GREAT! You're 17? THAT's a problem -- see ya next year, baby! Like after your 18th birthday, even if you are in the U.K. where you are now legal at 16. We are based in the U.S.A. and still have a long way to go on the age issue. Respect it, please. Thanks. Happy Holidays!

When they heard the king, they departed; and
behold the star which they had seen in the East
went before them, till it came and stood over
where the young Child was. When they saw the
star they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
And when they had come into the manger, they
saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and
fell down and worshipped Him. And when they
had opened their treasures, the presented gifts
to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Then
being divinely warned in a dream that they
should not return to Herod, the departed for the
own country another way.
