But I may not be alone, after all: I just sarted dating an incredible handsome young man; he just left ten minutes ago and I have to guard myself not to fall in love too fast; what a wonderful day--we went to the grocery store to get food to make brunch, watched With a Song in My Heart, spent the next few hours lying in each others arms listening to love songs on the radio, then watching Kate Clinton's hilarious comedy special on Logo. His family is in Detroit, so he'll be alone on Christmas, too; I'm hoping we can get together.

May all my friends here have a wonderful, happy, joyful and peaceful Christmas!
Glad to hear that!

Before I forget, I'd like to greet everyone on the board a very Jesusy Christmas and a very happy secular winter holiday to Bill O'Reilly.

That's so great to hear, Penelope! I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship. And what a wonderful film to watch together ;)

But, yes, do guard yourself not to fall in love too fast. I tend to do that myself and I'm definitely a person who wears his emotions on his sleeve so it's not too hard to tell when I'm completely smitten with someone. In fact, the last guy I was in a relationship with pointed it out to me (as not necessarily a fault). Enjoy this phase of your relationship and cautiously enjoy the possibilities.

Merry Christmas to you all! This site and all of you are two of the things that I'm most thankful for.

Why are you going to be alone?. Join some group.! Go to a party with some friends!. Look for some company.! (This advice is given with my best intention).

I am thinking of Penelope, who will be alone this Christmas. Merry Christmas, Joe; pick up some good videos, make yourself a good dinner and drink some good wine.

Merry Christmas and the very best and happiest of holidays to all. (Hope I peeved off all members of the 'War on Christmas'.) No revelment would be complete without traditional Christmas weather, may your holidays be replete with blustery conditions, freezing rain and ever-mounting snowfall. With that in mind, be of good cheer!

Also, Happy Solstice! If this depresses you, don't forget that in another part of the world, summer has begun.

I'm hitting the road tomorrow, and from the look of things, my on-line time between now and then will be limited.

So...it seems the right time to offer my warmest Christmas wishes to all those who brighten my days with their wit and opinions (even their hopelessly incorrect ones).

A year or so back, I tried to cite everyone by name, but ended up feeling bad about a few I unaccountably missed. This time around, I'll just assume you all know who you are.

Best to everyone throughout the holidays and into the new year. I look foward to arguing about all the Christmas releases in the weeks ahead.
