John Easton – A bigger stage — you’re due.
Shannon Paul – One more day with your dad, so he could see what an amazing woman you’ve become
If I’ve missed you, please forgive me! I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas.



Why, thank you, Scott! Very thoughtful of you. Here's wishing you and your loved ones a great holiday season and a really, really, really fun 2009.
Your friend,
Lyell
Awww thanks, Scott. I truly would be so happy with a stocking full of rocks. And the next time my boy and I go skipping, we'll think of you. Merry Christmas. :)
Scott, thank you so much for the kind wishes. In turn, I hope your New Year is filled with bountiful words (manna to the wordsmith) and only good surprises.
All the best,
Brandon
Thank you, Scott. What a sweet wish you reserved for me! I curse you a little for making me cry at work, but I appreciate you keeping me and my dad in your heart. A very Merry Christmas to you, too. :)
Wow Scott, you rock my socks. ;-) What a gallant and beautiful offering to the network. I hope you get what you want this xmas/new years too.
A pony… wow! You truly warmed my heart today Scott. Thank you so much! I have really missed riding and the bond that develops between human and horse. Luckily, the bonds humans make are just as strong and wonderful. Have a wonderful holiday season and I am so lucking forward to spending 2009 with you!
All the best,
Beth
And here's hoping we all get rich. Thanks for the well-wishes, my friend. I thinks we'll need 'em.

Scott – plain and simple, you're just about awesome. Here's hoping that 2009 brings us the chance to meet and share a toast. It's been my pleasure to get to know you a bit on the crazy interwebs, and I'm looking forward to more fun and friendship in the coming year. My best to you and yours. :)
