It's a generous time - stories shared

It's that time of the year again: December.

Are you trying to decided who you will send a Christmas card this year, checking your list of last year? (I know of some who strike-out people on their list when a given card has not been return in kind - oh well).

Are you trying to decide who to gift a present (business wise or personal?) Once my boss was a bit disgruntled when he had to buy his own big agenda when the 'annual' Christmas present from one specific company didn't turn up ;-) Oh well.

It is the time to be generous. And generousity comes in many forms:

Hi Karin, thanks for the extra dollop of generosity. What a wonderful and well timed project it was. I do believe your post was easier to write than mine, by the way!

[Robyn McMaster]

How generous of you to post a link to everyone who participated, Karin. Thanks so much!

[Giovanna Garcia]

Hi Karin

Thank you for your link to my site. I really appreciated :-)

Hi Brad

You're welcome. As for easier: you had to link to so many generous bloggers out there - that's a 'task' ;-)

Hi Robyn
Yesterday I was humbled by all the stories in this month's WILF and since it is the season of giving I thought I would try to point out that true generousity comes in many forms, as all the contributions show us.

Giovanna, you're more than welcome

Happy Christmas everybody

[Robert Hruzek]

Thanks for participating, too - it just ain't a real WILF without ya!

Hat tip to ya!

Hi GL

Well, to be honest, it has been turtle friend Robert who has done all the hard work - and for me it was just Crtl C followed by Crtl V ;-)

Thanks for the holiday wishes, same to you.
(BTW, started reading in Dig you Job - I like your style!)

Hi jackie, Marsha, Karen and Monique

sorry for the delay in replying to your kind words, we've been on a (well-deserved we like to think) short break 'back-home, mixing family, business and pleasure for a few days.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Generous New Year
