Merry Christmas everyone. It has been another great year on the Forum. I know I have learned so much; that is a gift that is truly priceless. I hope all of you have a great day with your loved ones.

Doug, I want to specially thank you for fighting the good fight. Have a great Christmas!!

Same Here!!..there were several things that never crossed my mind,like having a whistle along on short "no problem" walks,that i picked up on the site.with the gear reviews and such it make my AM coffee time on the computer really worth while.

I would like to join in with holiday greetings for all. This is a good, convivial group with a lot of useful information. May you all have the best of new years....

Agreed! Merry Christmas to all and to all, a warm, well lit, well stocked and safe night! Actually given then amazing make-up of the is group, let me change that to Happy Holidays to all!

Ditto all the holiday greetings. Every year I'm more prepared than the last, thanks in large part to this forum.

Happy Holidays from Florida....78F and sunny, with westerly breeze

best wishes and heartfelt thanks to the young men and women at home and abroad that protect our country... may you all come home safely

a special recognition to those in often remote locations around the world, quietly doing your job with dedicated professionalism, monitoring those that would do us harm

I think the quote by George Orwell " people sleep peacably in their beds at night, because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf" is expecially true in this holiday season

Merry Christmas

One of my most important stops of the day!

My thanks to you all for the education and conversation! Have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Yes, Happy Holidays to all.

AND, least we not forget, today is the first day of Festivus.
