However you celebrate the holidays, whether as a day with spiritual meaning or a time with family and friends, my hope is that it finds all of you blessed and happy. 

Thanks to those who sent hugs and good wishes for the 50th Anniversary party - it was a resounding success.  (And my bro came through in the end with some $$).

(Bertie, you put a huge smile on my face with that card - my first Christmas card from the UK!) 

Hugs and smooches to all of my friends - you are the true kind, and I love and appreciate you all.

Happy Holidays!
