In this week's issue of Crackers we bring you the second batch of your entries for the Christmas Drawing Competition. A big thank you goes to everyone who participated and it was very difficult to choose the winners. Look out for more competitions of this kind in the coming weeks.

2008 will have an extra day and is called a leap year, therefore next year we will have 366 days instead of the usual 365. Did you know that one of the first big cities to celebrate the New Year is Sydney, Australia and one of the last is San Francisco in the United States of America? Read more about the New Year in our article, 4...3...2...1... Happy New Year!

I take this opportunity to wish you all the best for the new year and may 2008 bring you lots of happiness, health and peace.

See you next Thursday and happy holidays
