I have been trying and trying to think what to say here.
I know some people have already begun their break in routine and won't be able to get on-line until after New
Year's--sorry I took so long--hope you know I'm wishing you well.

There doesn't seem to be anywhere in the modernized world that Christmas doesn't have a large impact. I notice that several non-Christians have special plans at this time--
traveling to be with family, notably.

I hope that everyone has a great week, wherever they are
and however they are affected by Christmas. I do feel free
to wish every one of you a Happy New Year. There is so
much love here--to copy Jo, I love ya all! And, to copy Bingley (t.k.), Mohon maaf lahir batin .
