− | Merry Christmas, my friends. Your festive occasion is in the spirit of children who receive gifts from the Jolly One Himself, and who give gifts of yourself to each other. I am very pleased with your gift to me, this charming plaque* which I may "hang on my wall" [[testifying]] to your [[appreciation]] of me, and I turn around and give it right back to you, for without you I would have no classroom, no [[students]], and no [[honor]] and [[privilege]] of performing this capacity as your friend, your [[guide]], your [[companion]] and your teacher, and so thank you for your acknowledgment. | + | Merry Christmas, my friends.
