May everyone find many joys in 2012.

And for those of you who are still shopping, let me note that there is still time to order gifts and get them to your home or to distant recipients before Christmas using the faster shipping options. How about the latest Complete Peanuts box set? Or even an in-stock Peanuts book in Spanish? Oh, sure, you could get something non-Peanuts like a fancy drill/tool set on sale today for over half off the list price, or the new Kindle Fire (free two-day shipping on that!)… but wouldn’t your giftee rather have a Charlie Brown and Snoopy salt and pepper shaker? I thought so!

Happy holidays, all!
