I hardly have to say what I’m happiest about this Christmas. My little son Rafa, who — if I followed my deepest heart — would be in every post I make here.
If you get my newsletter, you’ve already seen this image, which (no surprise) also doubles as our Christmas card. (And if you don’t get my newsletter, and would like to, you can subscribe to it here.)
Rafa is such a joy, maybe the greatest joy I’ve ever had. He teaches me what’s most important in life.
And for all of you, all my readers — for whom I’m so grateful — I hope you have equal joy, in whatever you do, in whatever makes you happy. Thank you so much for your interest in what I write, for your comments, your email, for debating me when you disagree, for your friendship on Twitter and Facebook. I’m blessed, I have to say. You’ve all created a very special community for me, one that gives my work so much deeper meaning.
This will be my last post this year, but I’ll be back with bells on when 2012 comes. I’m looking forward to continuing the flow between us.
Happy holidays to all! Such a special year for me…
Happy Christmas to you, too. So nice to have a new member of the family to celebrate with.
A blessed Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family, Greg! From one dad to another, enjoy every moment with your son (as I’m sure you will).

Thanks so much, Nate. It was a pleasure meeting you in Kentucky! Hope you’ve had a wonderful holiday, and that you do great things in 2012. I do enjoy every minute with Rafa. He’s a gem. Best thing that’s every happened to me…
