From the deepest level of my depession, I cast out this note to my fellow Dopers:
Although I personally hate this season and spend it wallowing in self pity, I realize that many (If not most) of you find it to be a joyous time of the year.
This is my first Christmas on the board and dispite my “Bah, humbug” attitude, I thank all of you for allowing me to share my thoughts with you this past year, just as I thank you for sharing yours.
May this next year bring you all the best of everything.
<Raising Glass>… to the next year.
