We’ll miss you, **Jasmine**! and I love _“boardies”!_ The people, and the label. I’m going to steal that (I’ve learned that it doesn’t work to say _“Yeah, a Doper friend of mine had a good take on that…”)._ We hosted a huge Thanksgiving, then this week an early present-opening with relatives, so now it’ll be blessedly quiet… football games on Sunday, Chinese food on Monday. We’ve earned this… ---

> [@digs](#): > > Chinese food on Monday. Copycat. 😄 My wife plays piano for church services and the Chinese place is on the way home and they seem happy for the business. And it’s tasty as all get out, too. No, this wasn’t triggered by **A Christmas Story**. Fa-ra-ra-ra-ra, ra-ra-ra-ra! ---

Merry belated solstice, and all other holidays of your choice(s). I will be luxuriating in having decided not to go anywhere. ---

Happy holidays to the SDMB (really everyone but especially the SDMB). Hope you all have a fun holiday (bonus to @Jasmine for starting this thread). Next year will be interesting. I am sure the Dope will be busy in the best way. ---

Happy holidays everyone. May your Christmas be all that you’d hoped for. I’m so grateful to all of you for the wonderful conversations through the years. I can hardly believe I’ve been a member here for 13 years. Love to you all, Tania. ---
