Merry Christmas to everyone from here too. May you have a year full of interesting chess.

As a little gift, here's a game played today between Homer 2.01 and Phalanx Reborn in my modest hardware (Intel Centrino Duo @ 1.83GHz 1GB RAM.) It's not the greatest game in the world, but I enjoyed it a lot and thought someone else might too.
