I would like to extend a very Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to you and your family.  This is the time of year to reflect on how fortunate we are, and  to spend time with family.  That’s exactly what I’ll be doing over the next few weeks.  It’s been an extraordinarily busy year and in some ways I wish I could invent a few extra months and add it to 2012 so I can milk it for all I can.   Alas, not possible so it’s time to focus on 2013, and that’s when I’ll start blogging again.

To all of you who take the time to read my blog, I can’t tell you how humbled I am that you would do so.  I hope in some small way I was able to inform, possibly entertain but more importantly connect.  Thank you so much, and here’s to a great 2013.

I leave you with what I believe are two classic Christmas songs.  I never get tired listening to them.
