Christmas Greetings

Once again it is that time of year again - the inflatable snowmen are up on the roof of the house across the street. Land Park Drive (one of the main streets near my house) looks like Disneyland with everyone competing for the best display of lights. Oh and this year there are some particularly tasteless examples... definitely some candidates for the Ugly Christmas Lights website. (Thanks for the link Janet). Haven't people heard that we have a bit of a situation going on with this global warming thing - we are supposed to be conserving not lighting up the night sky!

OK, enough of this Scrooge like behavior, I really am full of the joys of Christmas - so long as I keep away from the Shopping Malls that is.

As you can see below we were out for the annual Infostat office lunch this week - here we are standing under the Christmas tree looking relatively joyous and somewhat festive. (more photos)



Again this year I am using this blog as a proxy for a Chrismas letter. It's a periodic ongoing Christmas letter that continues throughout the year saving you the trouble of having to read it all in one go.

So I would sincerely like to wish all of you a very happy Christmas - even if you have your house festooned with enough lights to be seen from Outer Space. May your Holidays (that's the politically correct term these days - right?) be joyous and may we all be grateful for what we have in our lives.

And if you haven't seen this White Christmas flash video, its pretty cool, check it out.
