While many of my friends and family members are addressing Christmas cards, licking stamps (or not seeing as I don't think that you can buy non-sticker stamps these days) and writing the ubiquitous Christmas letter, I've decided to once again write a Christmas-card-letter-blog-post.

This medium really offers me the best of all words. I get to share some highlights of my year and some photos (even if I am not posed in front of a Christmas tree). I get to keep all of my saliva. And there's no need for me to spend time trying to track down everyone's new addresses.

So without further adu: Merry Christmas!!

I hope that the holidays finds each and eveyrone
