A pessimistic XMAS 2002

This was not a particulary good year. Not even my "Adventskalender" did get ready in time. BTW, I know this problem from previous years. I hesitantly refrain from a lengthy lament, how injust life can be, how my best intentions always collapse etc. Probably this would interest nobody. And  it is our obligation to think positively.

Instead I decided to publish the fragments of

THE PESSIMISTIC XMAS 2002
A Calendar in 24 pages
to  be opened  one after the other
as Christmas is approaching day after day.

Practically all material in these files is copyrighted, though not to me. I hope that the owners will pardon my use of their property. At least the use I make of it is obviously free of any commercial aspects. Besides,  no animals have been used to produce these pages.

THE PESSIMISTIC XMAS 2002 does not offer any reasonable navigation and gives no particular assignement of files to the 24 days. All pages are decorated with some music which may be heard on some browsers and may not be heard on others. You will meet all images and all sounds if you just visit the HTML pages.

Some of the pages of this calender remind me of things which have happened this year. Maybe I should tell some of these stories at a later occasion. In the meantime:

Anyway, a Merry Christmas 2002 and a happy New Year,
Peter, homo sapiens

Send me a late Xmas card
Don't forget it!
