Clement Posted December 20, 2013 Report Posted December 20, 2013 Merry Christmas and thank you all for this forum Quote
Brian Posted December 20, 2013 Report Posted December 20, 2013 Well....I usually wait until a day before, but since we are starting early this year, I'd like to wish everyone a very happy Festive Season, and a wonderful upcoming year. A huge thanks go out to Jean and John, without whom I couldn't run this place. Then thanks to all those who give so freely of their time and efforts to make sure we have a reason for being here. Otherwise we would just be a forum of questions and no answers. I would love to name those who go out of their way..but I am sure to forget someone and that would be BAD....so a huge thanks to all of you. You know who you are :D Lastly, to all the members and readers of the forum. We do this for you. So thanks for listening to us ramble and for being so patient. A very happy year end and Festive Season to all. Brian Quote

Barrie B Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 Well, to those that see Christmas first (the Kiwis); merry Christmas… - and may the cheer roll on through to all the Aussies, (especially the Bombers supporters), then the South Africans (thanks especially to Brian), the Europeans, the POM's (don't mention the Ashes…!) and lastly the Canadians and Americans. Is Hawaii the last place to celebrate..? Hope you all have a good time with your families and loved ones, and I also hope you are thinking of your (Nihonto) friends, that you cannot be with - as I am… Best wishes to all.. Barrie. Quote

b.hennick Posted December 25, 2013 Report Posted December 25, 2013 I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May your year be not only happy but also healthy and with new toys a plenty. A big thank you to Brian, Jean and John for keeping this place a civilzed place for learning. Thank you to the newbies for asking questions and to the senior collectors for providing answers. A special thank you to our Japanese members who often provide translations for difficult mei. Without their help many of us would still be scratching our heads in confusion. With the New Year draw approaching, please take the time to use the "PAYPAL DONATION" button at the top right of the page. Not only might you win a prize but you certainly will contribute to the successful operation of the best messageboard on the net (that I know of). To all of you who do not celebrate this specific holiday, I wish that you share in the happiness of the season. Quote
