To join in the chorus (or should I say "cacophony?" :) of all those wishing their watchers a merry Christmas, I would like to extend heartfelt best wishes to everyone reading this. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday, or if you do not celebrate Christmas, that you enjoyed a pleasant day and are in high spirits.

I had a really fun time with my family on Christmas Eve and again on Christmas Day. Santa left me a handful of drawing and art books that I've been lusting over for some time, and some of them were unexpected surprises, so I was excited to receive those!

If anyone out there is still interested in receiving a Christmas card from me, I would be very happy to send one to you. Just note me your address! I was very happy to send out a handful of cards to my friends here on FA, though I am sorry that some of them still have not arrived at their destinations. :( Hopefully they will all arrive this coming week!

I sent a lot of Christmas greetings out this year in the form of paper cards, eCards, and even FA page shouts, and I felt really happy about spreading some Christmas cheer. I hope everyone who received something from me had their heart warmed at least as much as mine was by sending it to you. Hearing from my old friends, online and off, always lifts my spirits considerably!

Looking ahead, I will have more to say about what's coming for me in 2011 in a separate journal. For now, all I will say is that I think this is going to get interesting...

Peace on earth.
