Well, the merry, merry season is upon us, and we have to atone for our sins of the past year by eating and drinking in over indulgence. So, until next week our daily news coverage is going to be spotty at best, although there’ll continue to be our usual run of daily features and stories.

Yes, it’s Happy Holidays time, and we here at THG want to extend our warmest wishes for the season of joy to all our readers.

You are the cream in our coffee, the wind beneath our wings, you complete us, you’re the tops, the Mona Lisa, and may 2004 bring you good health, good fortune, and everything your heart desires.

Group hug.
