Season's Greetings

[JH]

Happy New Year. We are getting close to the 20th anniversary of the publication of the first episode.

Good spot. I'll have to try to post a few episodes on the anniversary.

[Hi! My name is Ib!]

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow MURICANS.

And to the rest of the savages across the ...well. Uh. Happy day of not Thanksgiving. Happy day. Happy day to you.

And uh. Seasons greetings. Make it a frosty, seasons greetings. Adorned with holly and mistletoe. And uh...here's a cup of nog. Non alcoholic. What?

Oh fine. *pulls out a bottle of rum*

Shhhh.

[JH]

Thanks. Rum would go down a treat.

Though we don't have Thanksgiving over here, in recent years retailers have started having Black Friday promotions, recognising it as a way to con more money out of people.

[Hi! My name is Ib!]

Black Friday is a great chance to get out there amoung the thronging, throbbing, surging crowds and really test yourself.

A lot of people SAY they will hit old ladies.

But most people back down when it comes down to that critical moment. And there's only one 55" TV left on the shelf. You know?

I'd like to think I'd pass the test. But there's really no way of knowing until we are there.

I'll hit an old lady, though. *wipes away a tear*

It's what makes me proud. Puts me in the Holiday spirit.

Another year has gone by, and once again it's time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas (or other seasonal festival of your choice) and a Happy New Year. Why not make a New Year's resolution to write a few addventure episodes?

[Hi! My name is Ib!]

Yes, I vow to write a few more episodes while on my little winter break, at least.

Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!

I'll see you on the flipside!

[JH]

Somehow another year has past, and it's one that certainly won't be missed! Surely 2021 has to be an improvement? I've managed to remain Covid-free so far, and I hope the same goes for all of you reading this. (Though "all" might be overstating the likely number of readers.)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas to you too, JH.

I have added "write twelve episodes for Sir Toby's Extend-A-Story" to my New Year's resolution list for 2021.

[JH]

Thanks. Twelve new episodes from you would be great. I must try to write some too, though I find it's much harder to restart a long-dormant story-line than to add to one that's been bubbling merrily along.

[Sir Toby]

Merry Christmas everyone! I'm still COVID free and doing what I can to stay sane. This is one year I won't mind putting behind me.

[JH]

I'm a bit late with this this year, but I hope everyone had a great Christmas and I wish you all a Happy New Year.

[JH]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, everyone.

[Anableps]

And a happy new year to JH, Sir-Toby, and all the authors.

[JH]

Thanks. It's good to know you're still around.

[JH]

It's time for my annual post wishing readers of this forum - assuming that there are still any besides myself - a Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
