Merry Christmas everyone. Yes, I said it and I am proud of it. Christmas is a pretty American thing these days, so wishing someone a Merry Christmas is just a nice holiday greeting - it is not advocating religion as I have stated repeatedly over at Dangerously Irrelevant. Hope you all have safe travels and enjoy the time with your families. And, don't forget to keep our folks overseas in your prayers. One of the bittersweet aspects of this Christmas is that a member of our family, my cousin, is spending his holiday in Afghanistan and this is likely the last Christmas for a while that we will get to spend with my sister and brother-in-law who are both in the military.
Also, I want to thank eveyone for another great year here at the Edjurist. We had a lot of changes this year and we ended the year with more readers and subscribers than we started it, so I am thankful for that. We signed on with CASTLE this year. We redesigned. We added contributors and lots of other stuff. Also, this has personally been a great year for me too and I am extremely thankful for that. A new job for me and my wife. A new house. A new town. New school for my son ... just lots of new stuff that pretty much all turned out great. It has been a memorable year and I am happy to be able to share some space with all of you. Let's hope 2009 is just as exciting.
