| This
year Home Page country had a white Christmas and many of the homes in the area
were lit up beautifully in honor of the holiday. This house on Nanty Glo's Shoemaker
street was just one of many homes aglow with holiday lights. And on this, the
27th of December...the memories of Christmas day linger on. Those of us at the
Nanty Glo Home Page hope your 2004 is as bright as the Christmas lights of 2003.
Happy New Year! | |

Bumperstickers The
first bumper stickers appeared in America in the 1950s. Originally, they weren't
"stickers," but were attached by small wires twisted around bumpers (used for
advertising). Here's what we think is the best collection of bumper sticker sentiments
on the web (two daily, as long as they last). Your
proctologist called. They found your head. I
didn't go to work today. The little voices in my head told me to stay home and
clean my guns.
