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.

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!

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

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
