Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate this great holiday. Mark and Lou and Chef JR and our whole crew hope you have a great holiday; and to those of you who are celebrating the last nights of Hanukkah, we hope you are blessed with a great holiday as well. Whether you celebrate a holiday before New Year's or not, to the whole world we hope this time of year brings great peace and comfort and kindness. Our world could use a bit of the milk of human kindness right now.
There are studies that have demonstrated pretty clearly that gratitude leads to happiness. Seriously, you can check one out here. Let me tell you, as I do every year, that we are grateful for your support. Yes we're grateful for your business. It keeps us afloat. But we're also grateful for your belief in us, for your support of our cockamamie schemes and plans and dinners. We're grateful for your visits. We're grateful for your understanding if we slip up a little bit here and there. We're grateful for you allowing us to become a part of your lives and for supporting this project which has been our life's work. Yup, thank you. I feel happier already.
