A wish for the season
I would like to wish everyone the best this holiday season.
To everyone here (including those I have disagreed with on various issues) I wish you and yours the best.

Re: A wish for the season
Let me echo John and Yobbo. I wish everyone a most joyous Christmas season. And a happy, prosperous, and exciting New Year. Religious or not, this is a special.time for everyone. As Christnas is about family and home. And the New Year brings with it change and opportunity.. so the best to everyone.

Re: A wish for the season
I agree with you totally Belle. And it doesnt matter if i am in Trieste, Italy, or in rural West Union, Iowa U.S.A., it will certainly take courage to face another year of what passes as leadership of the free world from Donald Trump. And I will certainly need a working computer to remain in contact with my good friends in cyberspace.

Re: A wish for the season
Wishing you all happy holidays!

I thought this was interesting ...
"Though you won't see many clues when 'It's a Wonderful Life' gets its traditional airing on NBC this Christmas Eve, the beloved holiday movie has deep New Jersey roots."
Philip Van Doren Stern, a history writer who grew up in Jersey City, woke up one morning near the end of the Great Depression with the idea for a story about a suicidal man who is stopped from jumping off a bridge by a guardian angel who shows him the true joy of living.
Stern spent years writing and rewriting the tale, but his agent failed to sell it to everything from The Saturday Evening Post to farm journals.
So, Stern put up his own money to have the story printed as a pamphlet in the midst of World War II. He sent it to 200 friends and family members as a Christmas card.
