A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND A JOYFULL NEW YEAR FILLED WITH PEACE AND HARMONY.

Recently, at an art opening the AMBASSADOR OF RWANDA - DR. ANASTASE GASANA and his beautiful wife spoke about peace and how important it is for the United States to convince our allies that we want Peace.

At the Sundaram Tagore Gallery there was a reception for ISHMAEL MERCHANT of the famous IVORY MERCHANT team that has brought us Remains of the Day with CHRISTOPHER REEVE, whom we all love and admire and who has been chosen to bring in the YEAR 2003 at Times Square. The reception was in honor of his new book MY PASSAGE FROM INDIA about his journey from India to Hollywood. Look forward to a private intrview with him on GOTHAMGOSSIP.

At this time last year I was at the NYU 35th anniversary of the Tish school. Among its notable alumni that joined the celebration were BILLY CRYSTAL and ALEC BALDWIN who does great events for breast cancer in Long Island. I have also met Alec at the Creative Coalition's dinner hosted by ROBIN WILLIAMS,and at RIVERKEEPER.

We see YANNI is coming to Madison Square Garden in the Spring. So to all my Greek Friends including the Counsel in New York - MR. PLATIS- and AMBASSADOR LOUCAS TSILAS of the ALEXANDER ONASIS CENTER and to U.S. AMBASSADOR NEGROPONTE,"kalla christouyennia".

I hope Santa brought you all lots of presents. He brought me a new dog - a white poodle named RUFFI.

This column is for PRECIOUS.
