I have been working on a special project (company's in reactive mode again)
which has me working 6-day (more like 6-night) weeks.  With family and
business festivities on the way, I may not be around much to visit with you
during these holidays.  So, .....

Four years ago, I got out of the hospital just in time to celebrate
Christmas with my family.  It was, and will likely always be, my most
special Christmas.  Christmas is special each year since my operation.  Now
with my brother-in-law on chemotherapy for lymphoma, my cousin having part
of his cancerous colon removed the other day, and my son's surgery to remove
a wouldbe cancerous testicle it is....  well...  it's special.

But, it is you, my friends, that I appreciate most.  You have stuck by me
and others all year and other years.  I hope each and everyone of you,
whatever your country, race, or religion, or healthcare, including
Democrats, have a wonderful Christmas this year.  I wish for you good cheer
and good family and friends with which to share it.

And, once again, thank you!
