View Full Version : Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

It's that time of the year again.

Whatever your beliefs, the coming season is one of tolerance, good will, celebration, rejoicing, sharing with family and friends, spiritual renewal and clearing the decks of the last years debris, angst (much has occured) and accrued bad habits.:)

It is also likely to be a very risky period, as those purveyors of hate and envy, who have already declared war against our civilisation, could find this time of our celebration of humanity, love and spritual renewal an irresistable target.

In our industry this is also the busiest time of the year, but we will all just get on with it, in our usual calm professional manner.

Our thoughts must also be with the young men and women of our security and defense forces who may have to spend their season in a state of heightened readiness or at the worst, action. No one really knows what will come, how or from where.

We live in a time of great uncertainty, but there is always hope and a binding of together against a common foe.

So now is a really good time to hold hard and maintain even closer bonds with our fellow professionals, friends and families, think even harder about the meaning and significance of this time of the year and renew our faith in our basic good will and the love towards all mankind which holds our civilisation together.

The only way we know how to say it, others will have different ways, but will know what we mean, is;

A Very Merry and Happy Christmas Season to you all and may next year be one of continued happiness and progression towards whatever your personal goal in life may be.
May your New Years resolution contain a promise to commit at least one random act of kindness, every day. :) :cool:

I concur with all others and also wish everyone the compliments of the season.
Capt Veg; I intend to open a 1996 Wolf Blass Black Label on Chrissy day. Suspect it will be a good one too!
Woomera; Na illegitimus non carborundum, mate!
Keep on moderating. Seems that about half are for ya and about half are agin ya, so I reckon you must be getting it about right. Tasfast; Good one! You had any legal training???? Or is your main job writing guarantees for manufacturers?:D

I wish everyone on this board a very merry Christmas and a safe, happy and profitable new year! Whether I've agreed with you in the past or not. :D A special wish - and an even more special thank you to Team Woomera (one of whom I've enjoyed a few drinks and a healthy debate with :p ) and, of course, to Danny and Rob, for their continual efforts to improve this site for all of us! :)

I look forward to the day when we can all welcome Danny and Rob to this part of the world in person... maybe the next Ozbash? :D
