Wow, what a creative and thoughtful way to share the love and say thank you.
Merci beaucoup!
de rien Annie, you’re more than welcome,
have a fantastic XMas (I’m sure you will) & very best wishes for 2012,
Alan
Hey Alan-
Thanks for including me in your post! What a fantastic idea! I am constantly impressed by your great ways to build a community and so glad that you have invited me along for the ride. Good luck and have a wonderful holiday!
Thanks again, Shani
No probs Shani & thanks. That’s all I want, a nice community and that’s what I’ve asked Santa for. It’s not that easy – I think I find it harder to build relationships online than offline but I’m trying my best (I’m very new to the ‘online world’ or the ‘blogoshpere’ as lots seem to call it) and because I haven’t asked for anything else for Xmas this year (I have plenty of tea bags already and I’m trying to cut down on chocolates) I think the elves might be working their magic already.
take care Shani, have a great XMas, an even better 2012 & thanks again for your kind words,
Alan
Alan,
I want to thank you!! Your guest post gets visits and great comments almost every day. People are loving the post and I did too! That is what great guest posting is all about!
Have great Holidays! And thank you so much for the mention.
If you guys haven’t caught it yet, Alan wrote an awesome guest post for me:

You’ll have to check it out!
~Allie
Hi Allie,
no probs and thank you once more for the kind comments. I hope you’re still up for some more collaboration in Jan – I have a few ideas, I’ll email you about them between XMas & New Year, would that be OK?
In fact to be honest, learning about all of this online stuff I’ve got lots of ideas buzzing around in my head, but I’m learning to try and have some focus and go through them one at a time.
anyways, as always thanks for your help,
Alan
You can email me then but I may be slow to answer. I don’t know how much online time I will be getting in. Going out of town but my laptop will be with me. I’m sure I will not be able to stay away for long. 🙂
~Allie
😉 Good for you! I have pretty much the same story – we’re off to my parents tomorrow but I will take my laptop (but won’t be online as much as usual),
I meant more some time between now and New Year I’ll mail you 😉
take care,
Alan
Isabelle & Alan
Your energy and enthusiasm is both inspirational and humbling.
Apologies for the small contribution and can only promise more for 2012.
Thank you for keeping frienship and positive thinking alive in this way.
We wish a fantastic holiday season and a great New Year for you, your family and everyone dear to you!
Wow! Thanks for the kind words my friend,
of course our friendship will always be alive!! But the big question is, why don’t you have your own website yet? A man with your technical skills should have a hundred of them… All inter-linked with some mad massive database 😉
thanks again for the kind and (sorry but I have to steal your word and re-use it) humbling words – very best wishes to you and your lovely family for Christmas & 2012,
Alan
Great idea to give personal thanks like this!
Hi Lesly,
thanks, glad you like it! Have a great XMas & 2012!!
Alan
Hey Alan, thanks for the gift mate and a Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year to you and your family.
No problem my friend,
you are very welcome, best wishes to you and your family too!
take care,
Alan
Thank you Alan. Merry Christmas to you.
Hey Jay,
Thank you my friend for stopping by & for your most helpful comments,
I wish you all the best for 2012 and a very Merry Christmas to you too,
take care,
Alan
Have a Merry Christmas season!
You too Josh!!
I hope to stop by your blog again soon – I love your writing!!
take care,
Alan
woohooo thanks for the love! 🙂
You’re more than welcome Lindsay,
have a great XMas & New Year!!
take care,
Alan
and the same to you Alan!
Thanks 🙂
Thanks for the mention! What a lovely, and very generous, gesture.
Let me wish you the compliments of the season. Happy Christmas when it arrives.
Best Regards
No probs Hamish,

Merry XMas & a Happy New Year to you too!
take care & best wishes,
Alan
