from the isitchristmas.com dept.

I mean really...if this is going to be the only purpose of your site, at least tell me when it's Christmas for me, and not the valley (i'm only supposing..)

But, interestingly, it does account for locale. I'm visiting my parents in Quebec, and I get "YES/OUI".

Anybody else getting localized results?

So that's what it was. I'm in Japan and I thought the "HAI" response was more LOLCODE garbage... I'll say it's not localized because they used roman characters and not something more natural like [Arg Hacker News can't handle Japanese characters]

I'm in Argentina and I'm getting "Si". But as the website is called "is it Christmas" I think it only makes sense if the answer is "Yes".

I am getting YES/OUI and I am visiting my parents in BC (I live in Montreal, however).
