From the management here at FourFreedomsBlog.com LLC (Liberally Laughing Co-horts), we wish you a very merry Christmas, however you choose to celebrate it (even if you don't). The greatest gifts are the gifts that keep on giving, and that's what this blog is for me.

Thanks to all our members who make this little corner of the internets special. Enjoy today's respite from politics as usual, and we'll meet back here again at the usual time...
