Merry Christmas to All, and to All a Good Night…

I personally wanted to say thank you to all who have blogged here this year.  I hope you have a fine holiday and hope you can be around family and friends during this holiday weather.  When traveling, please be careful out there.

This has been a growth-inducing year for me, and I have appreciated your friendship and talents that are on display here every day.  In regard to our blogging, I think I can say for us collectively, we have grown and we have endured.  Couldn’t have done it without all of you wonderful people.

I have appreciated you all, but I’d be remiss to not give a special thanks to Fnord for her tireless work.  In three short months this humble little blog (that is of such great interest to some people [sic]) will turn one year old.  Not in a bad way, but it seems like it has been longer than that to me.  I’m not sure why…

Any way… Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night.

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

(or A Visit from St. Nicholas)
by Clement Clarke Moore

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads.
And Mama in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.
