I hope that in the midst of all the gift giving and feasting, you take a moment to remember the real reason for the season. May your generosity this season extend throughout the entire year, and may it return to you ten fold.  May you have an attitude of forgiveness for those who have wronged you, and compassion for those less fortunate.  We live in extraordinary times and I know I often find it hard to see much good in the world.  But I’m a believer, and I believe that ultimately everything can, and will, be used for a greater good.  And for the next few days, I will rest and try to focus my thoughts on what I’m grateful for.  I hope you’ll be able to do the same.  So with that, I’m going to go re-join my family in the other room and turn off the computer.  Here’s wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas, and a very prosperous 2009.

–The Sweemer Family
