"And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a
Merry Christmas, and God bless all of you - all of you on the good Earth."

I'm feeling really old now...old enough to fire Bob Cratchit if he is
even one minute late to work today.
Apollo? Bah...humbug!

Instead of the Christmas spirit, I thought of spirits only as fuel for
missiles!") :-)
