I just wanted to take moment to wish all of you a Merry Christmas, a Happy Chanukah, a Cheerful Midwinter...whatever it is you may be celebrating these days. May you all have joyous times with loved ones and friends.

And thank you, too, for the wonderful daily company you have become with your generosity of spirit, knowledge, and humor. It's always a pleasure to "visit" with everyone.

Happy 2007...

PAX.

Yes, Happy Yule/Christmas/Hanukah/general end of year with lots of twinkly lights in the dark to remind the sun to shine next Spring!!!

May all your best wishes come to you, all your worst fears prove themselves unfounded and may you not get so drunk that you wake up with a bishop, three police officers, four penguins and a large traffic cone... ahem... or is that just me?!!

Lots of love to all of you and to those you love... and those they love... etc! And may Clotilde, like the sun, return in her wonderful glory in the Spring, like Flora, Goddess of flowers... but without the insects obviously!!

Wishes just like this forum — warm and witty and glorious! That's why this is part of my day too. Happy Everything and Merry Always!

I certainly concur with the sentiments expressed above. I have so enjoyed getting to meet the folks on C&Z - both in person and in cyberspace! I feel truly enriched by the company here. At a certain point in my life, I thought I had all the friends I ever would. But what a joy to make new friends here!

We took our annual Solstice Walk last night (in the rain) up in Tilden Park, found a picnic site, built a fire and hung out with cocoa and s'mores. As I stood surrounded by some of the folks I love most in the world, I wished that everyone could share that feeling of contentment and joy. So, I hope all your winter celebrations are warm and full of love from family and friends. (I must admit, it was only warm emotionally! I was wet and chilled to the bone bythe time we got home!)

The BEST to all of you, in this season and in the years ahead.
