Like many, I will be travelling during the holidays so want to wish you all the best of times. Be safe, and happy, and warm. Laugh a lot, cry a little, and may you all have nice iris gift certificates under your trees!

I will be up near Arlyn and Tom. Wish Christmas was in May so I could peruse their iris fields!

Thank you, Leslie. You stay safe and warm, too.

Have a nice Christmas everyone!

Grandchildren are my greatest joy.

My best to everyone during this holiday season. Does anyone grow the iris Christmas Time any more. Another beauty was Hamblen's Christmas Rubies.

Merry Christmas and a great New Year for perusing catalogs and growing irises. I second the wish about many iris gift certificates in the gift pile.

Merry Christmas to All ATP members and everyone they love.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

I celebrated on the 22nd and I'm celebrating tonight and tomorrow.

Thankfully the 23rd got cancelled, or I'd be doing belly spins on the ground again.

May you all have a happy, healthy and safe holiday season.

OK...I finally have a chance to catch my breath and write. You have all been such a blessing, I have spent many hours chuckling, admiring photos, learning, and generally enjoying time with you through this medium of the ATP forum. I want to send my thanks to Dave and his family and to all the ATP 'regulars' (for lack of a better term...you know who you are!) who contribute soooooo much time and energy to make this all possible! Merry Christmas and Many Blessings to you all!

And to the Iris Forum members a very special wish for peace, joy, love, laughter, comfort, family, and many, many blessings in your lives and in the year to come....and may your irises be healthy and happy too!

Thank you for your friendship and kindness, support and general silliness! You give the gift of laughter and light-heartedness, a true blessing that I greatly enjoy!
