This Saturday, the 16th, we're celebrating Billtmas at our place.
Time: 6:00 PM.
We'll have dinner and then a marshmallow movie, with Mormon Pinha Coladas.
Anybody who wants to come is welcome.
More information can be found here.

What is Billtmas? I am considering coming over!
I am sorry but "Our Place" is a bit too vague for me, if we do come how would we get your address?
Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :
"Our Place" is in Orem, Utah.
You can email me. My address is in my profile.

I demand that you recount the story of 'Billtmas' for all the lurkers and hangers on!

Once upon a time, Beverly wrote a landmark about some very personal things that have happened in her life.
In order to protect the anonymity of all involved, she changed the names of all involved using a search-and-replace routine.
She didn't notice that this also changed "Christmas" to "Billtmas".
A lot of people just assumed that Billtmas was some crazy Momon holiday.
The next month, we had a Utah get-together. We said that we were celebrating Billtmas as well as Speak Like a Pirate Day.
Pretty much Billtmas is celebrated whenever we have a Rack get-together in the fall. But, of course, we keep it in our hearts year-round.

Somebody sent me an email asking for my address.
I couldn't tell who it was, so if you could please confirm it here, I'd appreciate it.

That's a great story! Posted by Uprooted (Member # 8353) on :
LOL--I recently sent a client a chapter in which I'd done a global change from DC (as in Washington) to D.C. She was puzzled by the word granD.C.hildren which kept appearing in the text!
