Christmas Comes But Once a Year

© Wayne Dawe

Welcome to this month's article which focuses on sites to bring you Christmas joy, plus an update on building your own skating rink.

How the Grinch stole Christmas is one of my favorite Christmas cartoons. MGM has some video and audio clips to whet your appetite and if you missed the annual showing of this Christmas classic, they will let you order either the video or DVD at their on-line store.

Midi Files of Christmas carols has midi files, English, Japanese and Korean words, plus an assortment of links to other Christmas sites.

There are so many Christmas sites out there I can only just touch the surface but I invite you to submit your favorites either by e-mail or by adding them to the discussion at the bottom of this page.
