You forgot St. Stephen's Day.
It's the day after Christmas and all is quiet in the house; not a
telescope is slewing, not a photon is watched. Your wallet is empty and your credit cards are just about maxed out. The wife or SO is out shoppping the post-Christmas sales; so I slumber in my cap catching a quick winter nap. When deep in my rest, my conscience started to give such a clatter. Who did I forget to thank in all this holiday banter?
In the season of holiday giving, you might want to consider adding a donation to the Utah Astro Gallery and Cynthia Blue, who has selflessly kept the gallery going for some years in part apparently using her own gear. There is a PayPal donation button at the top left hand corner of the main gallery page:
http://gallery.utahastronomy.com/main.php
which links to another donation volunteer activity of Cynthia "Utah Collies".
If you do not have a PayPal account, PayPal will also process any major credit card without setting up a PayPal account.
If the 27 gallery members each donate $20 at a 75 percent participation rate, that should gross Cynthia about $400. I've thrown in $25.
Merry X-Mass, Happy: Boxing Day - Hanukkah - Eid ul Adha - Kwanzaa - HumanLight Day - Festivus-for-the-rest-of-us, etc., etc. etc.
