One and all,

Thanks to you the Secret Santa has, but for one gift that is still at this time enroute, come to a successful completion! I am certain the outstanding Christmas bomb will find its way to the recipient.

We should especially applaud all the newbs who played this year, as they made certain that their gifts were on Santa's sleigh in time - thank you guys, you're part of what this board is all about: group and individual integrity.

I enjoyed following along who was where, what, etc. on this thing - it was pretty damn hilarious reading!

Some of you sent a few cigars my way - very unnecessary but very appreciated, so thank you.

Lastly, Hex, thanks for having this board. It's a good place with good people.
