We Have White Christmases Too: Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah From Florida!

We had a wonderful Christmas here on Florida's west coast Sunday. Diana and I hosted a dozen family members for dinner and opening of gifts. It was 82 degrees and sunny, so snow was a little scarce in our neck of the woods. We still  have White Christmases, it's just that the white stuff here is sand instead of snow! We are both transplanted Midwesterners so that took a little getting used to at first but we have adjusted over the years and have come to appreciate that it is a lot easier to shovel sunshine than snow! Our Christmas wish is that you and your families are having an equally joyous Christmas or Hanukkah season and that 2012 will be your best year ever.

Ron and Diana Jackson wishing you and your families 
a joyous holiday season and a prosperous New Year.

With Christmas falling on Sunday this year, most workers got today off instead. There was no mail delivery, the banks were closed and a lot of our friends at the various domain industry companies are also enjoying a well deserved day off. Some won't have to return to work until after New Year's Day but it will be back to business as usual here tomorrow. That's fine with me too because, as the old saying goes, when you do what you love you never work a day in your life. 

I still love the domain business and the the hundreds of uniquely gifted people we have had the pleasure of meeting in it over the past decade. As every new year approaches I am filled with eager anticipation to see where this constantly changing industry will take us next and whose paths we will have an opportunity to cross. I don't see how life could get much more interesting than this and I know we have been especially blessed to be a part of it. Thanks to each and every one of you for that.
