Well, it is that time of year for holidays. For some of us it is a time of memories of years gone by and family members who are no longer with us. For others it may be a time when families gather together and share small talk, gifts and a hearty meal. Maybe it is both a time for past memories and a celebration when gathering with others.
We no longer have any parents alive so we get to do the hosting of our 5 kids and spouses and 9 grandchildren (from ages 3 months to 21 years old). The adults no longer buy boat loads of gifts for each other–instead opting for a modest gift exchange determined by rolling dice. Of course the grandchildren get more gifts than one should ever expect, but regardless of my ‘old time’ values I can’t begrudge the overindulgence of money spent on grandchildren. I do ‘mourn’ those that have adversity in their lives right now–to those folks I hope they can find some solice and peace in this important season.
To all I wish you a Happy and joyous holiday as we all look ahead to the start of a new year.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS ! For all- have a safe one– and a healthy, happy, prosperous and safe 2025.
TIM– Thanks again for this wonderful site.
Happy Holidays to all of you. Been a pretty good year for me and my family. I try to remember to be thankful and kind every day but am not always successful. I appreciate all of you also being kind to each other even when we don’t always agree on various topics including politics. That’s why I pretty much read this every day and still get great ideas from you all for investing or learning new things. Thanks!
Wishing all a happy, blessed and safe Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to everyone and your families. We all have so much to be thankful for at this time. May G-d bless each of you, Azure
BTW, in the spirit of forgiveness this would be a perfect time for Grid to come back as I’m certain we all miss him ⭐️
Merry Christmas and Happy holidays to everyone—and cheers for a prosperous and healthy 2025 as well
Merry Christmas and all the best for 2025
