Merry Christmas , Happy Hanukkah, etc. etc.!

2008 has been a challenging year on many levels, but it saw the birth of BuzzBuilderz and the creation of new social media developments that will be unveiled in the new year.

I sit here watching a movie with my son, daughter-in-law, and her Mom and Dad – my extended family, having exchanged gifts , emptied our Christmas Stockings, and lit the Hanukkah candles, I feel a tremendous warmth about the holidays. Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, the Winter Solstice, and Festivus for-the-rest-of-us

Obviously we are a multicultural family, and are enriched by the things that make us different and those things that we value together. Family, trust, and values that seem almost to hokey to list here.But it strikes me that we are much like Web 2.0, made stronger and richer by our diversity.

So as our nontraditional family celebrates this most traditional of holiday seasons, I hope that everyone has as wonderful a holiday as we are having together, and that you have for your family all the good things we wish for ours.
