It is Christmas, Greenwich Mean Time. In Beijing it is passed 8:00; children are up and unwrapping their presents. In Tokyo it is after 9:00 and in Sydney, the kids are sitting glassy-eyed in front of the TV waiting for lunch. Moscow parents have got a couple hours to sleep yet. It is still 4 1/2 hours until midnight on the Atlantic coast in America, 8 1/2 on the Pacific. Kids aren't even in bed yet.

Merry Christmas, everyone, especially all close-to-the-ground ones, and to members:

白日放歌须纵酒

Love you guys.
