Happy Holidays, India and thank you for another wonderful post. I am guessing that like me, you and many of your readers have trouble eliminating "Thank you" when we communicate with ChatGPT and Gemini, etc. Then it occurred to me that if I stop saying "thank you" in that one place it's going to become a slippery slope in other places. Luckily, they have been programmed to say "you're welcome".šŸ˜‰šŸ˜‰

A Perfect Christmas with Family...My Father always gave the first toast; To all those we have loved & lost - Merry Christmas!" IT WAS RATHER LIKE THEY WERE ALL ALL THE TABLE ! I so liked David's words - OH ! to be that Civilized again !! All the very best for 2026 Mary Dearborn

What a nice peak into Christmas in another world with similar yeast different traditions! How clever of you and your husband to capture in the photos those doing the photographing. Just read an article of most climates clinging to the northern climate’s traditions. Guess a sand man doesn’t have the cache of a snow man! Lovely snaps of a very beautiful and handsome family.

Merry Christmas India and family. Always like reading your messages.

On another note; I actually have been trying to teach myself calligraphy. It is a strange coincidence that you just mentioned that above. I actually often thought; would be great if I could eventually start a business also. 😊
