I read this awhile back, too...I remember switching back and forth from belief to disbelief many times throughout it, and then I realized it was fake when someone mentioned the first letter of each paragraph on some forum. I think I wanted it to be true for some reason...

R2...are you suggesting I don't sit down and watch the Holiday Special with my friends? I'm getting it from Rikter, and am planning on making it a Holiday tradition, but if your best friend isn't talking to you after you put her through it, maybe it should be one tradition I should keep to myself....
