City/Town if you care to say:	Nelson
Message	I think Martha should consider a holiday to New Zealand, in particular Nelson which is about to acquire a brand new Steinway from London for its school of music concert hall. A woman like Martha could find ample time to relax in the beauty of the South Island.

Message	Tom, See a description of the history of that shorthand at the following page: http://bit.ly/wordorigins The article is more harsh than I prefer, but its factual points are actually good. The word you object to has been shorthand for writing "Christmas" for hundreds of years, and the shorthand originated with the look of the original lettering and with Christians. I'll quote from the ending words on that page: ---------- "Even Webster’s dictionary acknowledges that the abbreviation Xmas was in common use by the middle of the sixteenth century. . . . It is simply another way to say Christmas, drawing on a long history of symbolic abbreviations used in the church ... Understanding this use of Christian symbolism might help us ... focus on more important issues of the Faith during Advent, and bring a little more Peace to the Xmas Season." ---------- I hope so.

How did you find the site?	Usually excellent
Message	Although I'm sure you did not intend it as such, I was offended by the "X'ing" out of Christ in Christmas in a recent Kindle World article. We don't use X-zaa for Kwanzaa or X-kka for Hanukkah, yet everyone seems okay with crossing out the most important part of the word, Christmas. Please stop being one of them. Thanks for considering my request, Andrys.

Message	Vineeth, I'm surprised she's doing those 3 November dates. Thanks for that information! I think people interested in going to the Dresden concerts should monitor the Dresden concert site just in case. - Andrys
