I know that I have a lot of present wrapping that I will do when the little one is in bed. I propose around 8 or 9 pm anyones time that we all rewatch from beginning to end P&P. Talk about a fun way to wrap presents. A glass of wine lots of Christmas cookies, and at midnight we could all wish HC a very Happy Birthday. Well I won't be able to go online but I'll wish it to him. What do say?

I think that is a great I idea Laura, I don't know why I didn't think of it. A glass of wine surely sounds awesome.

I shall be w/ you in spirit (and possibly in "spirits" as well!), but I won't be in my own house w/ my own tv or computer. However, the HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HENRY that you hear from San Diego may very well be mine. Happy viewing, Laura, and a blessed holiday as well.

I'll be away from my tapes as well, but I promise to think of you watching for the ----nth time! Give a smile to Colin for me. I will be away from the internet for 10 days, and I look forward to reading the backlog of new messages from those of you who can still post! Happy Holidays to everyone, I will truly miss you. And I will certainly toast Henry from San Juan Capistrano, California. Best wishes to you, Laura, and to everyone else here. Jane

I will be spending Christmas in Connecticut with my two sistes and three nephews, the only one of whom who tried to watch P&P2 (after I forced it on her) abandoned it after the 2nd episode because there was "too much dancing". I believe I will only be with you in spirit, also. I hope everyone has a happy holiday. Myretta

BTW Myretta, saw you on Jeopardy. It's nice to add a face to your name. Although a busy time with the little one all day, I'll try to squeeze it and definitely make time for P&P2 while wrapping up presents, among others.

Dunno about the wine and cookies, though. In our house it's always mince pies and sherry. I,too shall be away from the computer, and I have lent out all three copies of the tapes to recruit new converts. But, I shall think of you, at 9 p.m. in my time zone. Best wishes to you all, whether you are at church, reveillon, by the basement fire, or on the Great Barrier reef.

I know that I'm getting the tapes on x-mas, so I'll be with you all in spirit. I will be on that TV after the festivities are over and savoring every minute of P&P2 and Colin!

Thanks for the birthday wishes.. I watched it, and some thoughts -- The staircase thing in Husford parsonage was really kind of gratuitous and too ridiculous... The scene between Lizzy and Col. Fitzwilliam walking in Rosings park before the first proposal was cut down WAY too much...

The staircase thing in Hunsford parsonage was really kind if gratuitous and too ridiculous....anything to do with Mr. Collins is supposed to be. Happy! Birthday HC.

As Christmas Eve is *The Day when Santa comes * here in Sweden there was no way I could watch. But I thought of my friends over the world watching and hope you had many happy Darcy (and Lizzy) moments. Also Wish You A Happy Birthday HCand may you continue to share your knowledge with us all, for years to come!

P&P@ and XMAS day, maybe? significant other surprized me with the 6-vol set of P&P2. And the VCR belt broke! I feel like an O'Henry short story right now!
