That you will be celebrating YOUR feast, be it Christmas, Hanukkah, or the closing of another year, with someone who loves you dearly, and that you will have a warm and pleasant meal and many happy memories to share. I hope that the next year brings you gentle happiness, security, health, and a few lovely surprises.

I thank you for your acceptance and warmth for me and my family and for sharing this time of our lives with us in such a kind and caring way. I hope to be your friend for a very long time.

You have made me smile, cry, and laugh uproariously, you have made me think and sometimes even disagree. You have brought out the best and even the worst in me. You have made me live in a way I never expected for this time of my life.

I wish you every good thing, every blessing and most of all hope and peace.
