The turkey is in the oven, and everything else is nearly done, so here I sit at my computer.

As soon as I sent last week's newsletter I realized that I did not wish my American readers a "Happy Thanksgiving." Then I began to think about how the practice of wishing holiday happiness has left the personal, and spilt over into the commerical. Many businesses send holiday greetings. And I often enjoy receiving them. But if a company (me, in this case) fails to express a holiday greeting, is it a faux paux that requires an apology?

In any case, I hope yours was a warm and loving holiday.

So I'd like to thank surfnetkids for all the great work that you have done this year and especially for your willingness to share.

The high*light* of this year was the movie "Light an Educational Fire".

I wish more businesses would give thanks to their customers, just in little ways of sharing such things Educational Fire quotes, premium newsletters for printable club members, etc.

Lucy
