Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Festivus to all, and to all a good time

December 16, 2017 by Andrew Heller 37 Comments

Happy everything, people – Christmas, New Year, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus and anything else I’ve missed – from me and the Source Materials (otherwise known as my family.) May you have a wonderful time, whatever your reason for the season.

And thank you for reading, for without readers there are no writers.

    Stock market up 30% this past year, my I.R.A. is on fire, GDP quarterly rates bumping 4%, unemployment at near record lows, HITLERy Clinton out and about on her pity party tour……. Santa baby, you made Christmas great again. Happy Holidays to all, even the socialist miscreants,malcontents and lemmings who dominate this little site. A wise man once said that a rising
    ( economic) tide raises ALL boats. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

    Happy Holidays to the Heller family. I was looking for a long time ago article you wrote about six word memoirs…I had cut it out from the Flint Journal. I taught it in my class when I had Henry and Annie in 7th grade English:) It seems like a life time ago. I’m so happy to see their smiling faces. I miss them. They always had a special place in my heart.
