Seasonal Greetings From The LJ Hermit

**waves meekly** I can't believe it's been over three months since I've posted anything... not even a meme! I mean, I've been here... lurking like a lurky thing. I've even made the odd comment. And boy, howdy have I composed the most impressive posts you've never seen in my mind. Every. Single. Day. Somehow, they've just never made it to the 'page'. **sighs** I'll try to do better this coming year. I really, most sincerely mean that.

Whatever you celebrate/believe in, may this find you all happy, healthy and beloved.

Happy Christmas - hope that you all have a great time

Thank you, love... actually had a lovely, healthy Christmas for a change.

It's so nice to see you! I've been wondering where you were. I asked Lilaeth the other day too.

It would be lovely if you posted more in the new year. I'll look forward to it, and meantime, happy holidays.

**waves at Deb** See? It's working already... 2 posts in a week, and I'm answering this before 2008! Spent lots of time with the grandbabies... and who knows? Maybe I'll even write about it all. *grins*

Hope your holidays were happy days.

[shapinglight]

They weren't too bad, thanks.

I hope yours were nice too? Also, don't forget to keep posting.

Hello you! *waves back*

Good to know that you're still with us, and thank you for the good wishes and the gorgeous banner! :)

Hey, Elisi!! deedo_2313 does marvelous work, for sure. I'm gonna try and make more of a presence on LJ this coming year... now if only I can convince the bloody muse to do the same. **casts a longing eye in her direction**

Nice to see you. Have a lovely Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2008.

[spikes_heart.livejournal.com]

A Happy and Healthy to you and yours, too (from our fingers to you-know-who's ear).

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[spikes_heart.livejournal.com]

The same to you and yours!! Hope your holidays are Happy Days!!

[tgray.livejournal.com]

Happy Holidays Sweetie! It's nice when our paths cross. I swear I'm gonna sit down and write you an extended letter complete with pics. I'm thinking of you!

[spikes_heart.livejournal.com]

Always thinking of you, Teresa. Can't wait to see how big your darling daughter has gotten! Has she been bringing the beaux home yet? *grins* Time flies. Merry and Happy to you and yours. **smooches**

So pretty.
Merry Christmas!

I kept looking for that Hanukkah Ham amongst the prezzies, but we ended up with the traditional Christmas lasagna and tons of Italian pastries from Arthur Avenue. Multi-ethnic families are a joy! Everything seems to be celebrated with food, with a capital FOOD (Latkes and applesauce for Hanukkah were yummy, too).

Hope your holidays find you and yours well and contented.

Hello, Spike's Heart! (I get the lurking as well). Merry Christmas to you and yours, and a happy and healthy New Year!

PS -- lovely banners, in your post and your header, both.

[spikes_heart.livejournal.com]

There is such talent showcased on LJ - I can't help but show off as many pretty pieces as I can find.

Again, enjoy the new year, and be safe and healthy.

[desdemonaspace]

Yes, indeed. You too. Don't drink and drive!

[denny-dc.livejournal.com]

Happy Holidays to you, too! And it's good to see your post! Hope to hear more from you in 2008!

[spikes_heart.livejournal.com]

Thanks for your kind words, Denny. I'll make an effort to be more vocal this coming year.

Sweetie, YIM keeps on closing down on me, and life's been a touch frazzled of late. But the biggest hugs in the world are all for you, and I hope we talk lots and lots in the days to come.

{{{{hugs}}}}

*Hugs my sweet Gill* I do so miss our hours-long talks. I've been following your posts, so I know what kind of craziness your life has been lately. Sorry it's so hard. May the New Year find us both in better places and all the more with the yakkety again.

**Major Smooches**

I always look forward to your fics. Merry Christmas and best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year!

[spikes_heart.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. I'm hoping the muse is a little more cooperative (once she recovers from the holiday hangovers). Happy New Year!!

[lusciousxander.livejournal.com]

Merry Christmas, sweetie!

Thanks, pet - and a Happy New Year to you and yours.
