Christmas Letter 2007

Carrying on the now yearly Christmas tradition of replacing a written letter in with the Christmas cards for friends and family, with an online collection of family related blog links, here's this year's list (with a few personal and fun ones thrown in).

Previous years: 2006 2005 2004

Non-friends and family feel free to ignore this.

Happy <Insert your religious festival or holiday here> everybody!

Chronological order (latest first). One thing is clear; I'm doing less and less family related posts each year. Maybe one of my New Year's resolutions should be to change that.

... cannot resist:

Happy <Insert cop out here> everybody!

Please :(

Showing respect for other cultures is one thing but don't diminish your own in the process. It feels almost like reverse discrimination, putting a distance between you and those you want to wish well.
Make a choice! Wish us a Happy Hannukah/Christmas/Kwanza or whatever festival you like but please do choose. In return let us send you well wishes back from our own cultural perspectives. Don't be homogenized.

So with a "Nollaig Shona duit" from me, I respectfully wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
