Tidings of Kumquats and Joy...

As time permits over the next few days, I promise to regale you with the mixed results of my first attempt at Holiday Roulette, as mentioned several posts below. But seeing as how it's after Midnight and the stockings have yet to be hung by the chimney with care and there are umpteen presents still to be wrapped, permit me to pause for only a moment to wish you and yours the happiest of holiday seasons and the best of all possible things in the year to come.

As Dickens (or was it Fenster?) was oft noted to say, "May your favorite Diety/Force of the Cosmos bless us. Every one."

And have yourself an eggnog or two on me while you're at it.
