A Christmas message from the Church of Texas Holdem

This is Father Ashley's first ever Christmas message. Peace out.

Hail Sinners!

At this difficult time of year, when the stresses and strains of trying to build your bankroll, running cold and being runner-runnered are making your blood boil and spoiling the festive spirit, remember those less fortunate than yourself.

Those who only know a flop as something you do when you fall down with exhaustion; those who wash, drink from and eliminate in the river, if it hasn't dried out; those who are lucky to be dealt a pair of meals in an average day; those for whom a bad beat usually comes from the end of a soldier's rifle.

Oxfam International

It's always difficult to walk in another man's shoes (or on the soles of his bare feet). I urge you all, take a tiny, tiny portion of your bankroll and make a donation to some noble cause.

Heifer International and Oxfam both will accept donations and give animals to poor families who need support.

These gifts keep on giving. The families are trained to rear the animal, reproduce them, get milk, eggs and other by-products to sell and support themselves; and finally, the first offspring is given to another family in similar peril.

Heifer International

All at the Church of Texas Holdem with all of you a very healthy, happy and prosperous 2007. Enjoy your holidays.
