CHRISTMAS

 
Warmest wishes from the Red Cardinal blog to all my readers and fellow bloggers for a wonderful, happy, and peaceful Christmas and New Year.
 
 
 
It has been a joy to meet and communicate with you throughout what has been an eventful year for me.   Thank you all for your lovely, kind, insightful, caring, and often clever and funny comments.
I appreciate and value every one of them.
 
 
 
 For me,  the greatest fun is in exchanging ideas, and learning about so many different countries and customs, meeting your families, pets, and seeing your local areas.  I love reading your blogs, and continue to find new blogs of interest written by clever and talented women.  It has become a new hobby for this old bird who loves a fresh challenge and meeting new friends.
 
 
 
  To the silent readers (and my stats show me there are a large number of you out there), thank you for continuing to drop in. 
I hope my musings brighten your day, and please feel free to comment.
I'd love that!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
and, from our house to yours:
 
Happy Christmas to All, and to all a Good Night!
[Clement Clarke Moore, 1823.]

    Blogging has clearly become an important part of the lives of so many of us. I, too, have been astonished at how brilliant it is to have insight into others' lives, and to find how quickly I have come to care deeply about my new friends. Have a lovely Christmas Patricia, and I look forward to us both having a great 2013, feeling well, and learning a little more about each others' lives. Jx

      So true, Janice, we do come to care about one another, and if one disappears for a while I become concerned. Wishing you a beautiful Christmas and New Year too, and more fun in blogland. P. xx

    Hi Patricia, I'm rather late to wish you good cheer for Christmas but not too late to wish you and the family much happiness for the coming New Year.
    Seems I rarely pop into blog land nowadays but hopefully I will be a bit more regular in 2013 in catching up with all the lovely ladies who frequent cyber space. I do hope Santa was particularly kind to you this year!

      Hello Annie, Lovely to hear from you, and I do wish you all the kindest blessings of the season, and much joy in the New Year. It has been lovely getting to know so many special ladies in blogland over the past year. Long may it continue, and I hope to see more of your adventures in 2013 (and hope you make in to N.Y.) Santa was indeed kind in this nest; might blog about it later.xx
