Before the night gives way to the new morning, allow me to wish all a very Merry Christmas, with wishes of peace and love today and every day!

To Ondine, Cocok, Cynthia, Gaylie, Megamom, Teacher Julie, and Leirs, my very special thanks for your friendship.

And to Big A and two Not-so-small-anymore As, loves of my life, thank you for another Christmas spent in your loving arms.
