Merry Christmas!
I’m a little delayed in wishing you a Merry Christmas—and I forgot to post my annual “Twas the Bloggers’ Night Before Christmas” on Christmas Eve—because I’ve been traveling.
Yes, I finally managed to procure a flight yesterday, and arrived at my West Coast destination late last night. I’ve traveled before on Christmas Eve, and I could not help but notice that this year the volume of people was higher by a factor that was geometric rather than arithmetic.
In other words, it was way crowded. And I was sandwiched between crying babies every step of the way. I have a tolerance for the parents of crying babies—I was one myself not too long ago (a parent of crying baby that is, not a crying baby itself) and I know how hard it can be. But still, after the sixth hour or so it can set one’s teeth on edge.
However, I’m happy to have managed to get a flight at all, and most especially happy to have arrived.
And happy to wish you all a most happy holiday[s]—Christmas and Chanuka being celebrated together this year.
Merry Christmas Neo, one word for the crying babies, IPOD, in fact two words, LOUD IPOD :), I fly an average of four times a month, cant do without it around the babies.
Glad you are safe and hope you are warm. Or will become so.
I’m with Gerard on those sentiments.

I’ve had great luck with this thing. Totally windows compatible and doesn’t tie you to I-tunes or format.
These are a must, and sound wonderful:

Absolutely the best. The replaceable tips come in different sizes and you sqeeze them down like foam earplugs and insert them. They pump good sound right into your earholes.
I wear them on trips and motorcycle rides and it blocks eveything. You will laugh in the face of crying babies.
Merry Christmas, Neo!
Wish you joyful and Merry Christmas, Neo!
Merry Christmas, Neo!
Merry Christmas and/or Happy Hanukah, and, most especially, a truly Happy New Year, which will bring hope, happiness, health to all — yourself, friends, and family, and, lastly, a year which will allow us to enjoy all the special moments of life, even if at times we feel inundated with disparate financial news. We will survive — but to do so with hope intact, and still able to look toward the future with plans and hopes, instead of ascribing blame and fault for the negative, will truly show what that which we are made of! I continue to believe that is most durable stuff which has allowed us — a mix pf peoples from around the globe — to survive the unsurvivable, and build an even better future which will lead us forward– and maybe even other parts of the world as well! Only the best of everything to all!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Neo!
Whichever holiday you celebrate, Neo, I hope you have had/are having a good one.
I believe this is the year the Arabs will realize that their violence and hate has gotten them less than nowhere and will start negotiating with Israel for a just and lasting peace. I believe that will happen this year.
Of course, I also believe that this is the year in which Lucy Lawless shoes up at my door and asks if she can come up and get out of these wet clothes.
But a Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah to you and your other readers.
Glad you finally reached your destination – enjoy the change of scenery and a safe trip home. A little point of interest – My brother and sister-in-law always include a few unwrapped goodies with my Mother’s Christmas package. I was surprised to see they had sent her a box of orange creme thin mints made by none other than NECCO.
Glad to hear that your flight was successfully completed.
The airline crew that served you, although it may not be apparent, have no graeter desire than to get passengers safely to their destinations as near to on time as possible.
Best wishers for the Holiday Season and for a healthy, peaceful, and prosperous New Year.
