Have yourself a Merry little Christmas...

...and Solstice, Yule, Festivus, Larry the Omnipotent Grapefruit (thanks, @MangyFetlocks!!)...!

Dear ones -

The holidays are here, and, in spite of all of the hate, greed, and injustice we see around us, we still have a lot to be thankful for.

What we are seeing are the death throes of the old paradigm of hate, greed, and injustice. This crap never goes down easily, and its demise is never pretty.

But it IS going down!

What will emerge in its place is a world of love, generosity, and justice--because WE will MAKE it so.

So here's what I suggest.

Let's all keep our holiday celebrations simple so that we can focus on what really matters: each other.

Let's give thanks for what really matters: each other!

And let's make 2025 the best year we possibly can for ourselves and each other.

The future is in our hands, so let's make it as wonderful as we possibly can!

Happy holidays, everyone. Happy New Year, and may we make 2025 our most brilliant year ever!

With deep, undying gratitude for every one of you and for all that is good in this world, I remain your well-wisher and faithful servant
