2011. What a year but it's now ancient history. The PlanetChristmas staff took life easy during January but we're now back in the saddle for 2012. We do need your help as we move into the new year. What can we do to make things better?

The PlanetChristmas forums are entering their 16th year. That pretty much makes this little spot on the Internet an old-timer. As I look back to 1996 after installing the original PlanetChristmas bulletin board service, I'm amazed anyone found it. Sometimes a week would go by without a single post. Then there was the year the system crashed the day before Thanksgiving because of too much activity. There were days when I was ready to shut everything down because of the sniping and negativity. What a ride. There's one thing I have had to learn the hard way multiple times over the year
