I think they are probably celebrating. I don't know how Christian they are though. I do it for family, and I think a couple of the members are the same. Ruki seems to be angry with God sometimes... Just presents and fun!
I agree that you should probably wait and tell Ruki after the holidays. No sense ruining his time off!
I don't think I'll get any response either. Besides, I have no idea how he would prove it to me anyway! But, so far, he has said nothing. Maybe I should be a b@!*h and post the question as a comment on his site instead of a private message. Think that would make him nervous? He probably wouldn't approve it! Besides, if by some cruel (and horribly disappointing) twist, this is Ruki, I'd rather not piss off one of my idols!
Picked out a guitar today... It's cheap, but I'm just getting started. It'll do for now.
