12 days of Christmas

Happy holidays,

We made this Christmas card over the past twelve days, taking turns.  We
hope that you enjoy it.  Here are some tips:

1.  For best viewing set the format to Courier Nine Point, 90 characters
wide.

2.  Feel free to send a copy on to your friends and loved-ones, and
please send your comments to Dr....@aol.com (We recommend that you copy
and paste to a new message to maintain the layout and avoid the
introduction of extra characters.)

3.  If you liked this graphic, let us know by sending e-mail to
"DrX...@aol.com" with the subject "Merry Christmas".

                                                   from,
