No better time than this to extend my thanks to Eric and Carol for providing this forum and to ruralcarrier for all the time he spends trying to keep us all on the right track without veering too far afield in our ‘enthusuasm’ for what we have to say.

And my most sincere good wishes to all who come here to seek an answer or share a thought or just spend time quietly catching up on all things St. Maarten/St. Martin and participating just by being a silent partner as so many are.

So, I wish you a belated Happy Hanukkah, an early Happy Kwanza but most of all, today I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year soon come.

Merry Christmas,

pat
