Merry Xmas + My recent absence + Harry Palmer contest extension

First: Merry Christmas to all! Happy holidays as well! If you’re in the mood for Christmas songs today, don’t forget the Barry/David composition “Do You Know How Christmas Trees Are Grown?” as sung by Nina, and tabbed out for us by Petter Bengtsson around this time last year.
I haven’t been around much lately because we had a windstorm that took out our cable/internet access as well as our power last week. We’ve got the power back up, but my cable provider is giving us a bit of a hassle in restoring our web. I’m at the in-laws for the holidays, so I’ll have regular access here, and so posts will hopefully be resuming regularly.
You may have also noticed that the deadline for the Harry Palmer contest has passed without mention. I was hoping to make a post about this earlier, but I’ll be extending the deadline of this contest an extra month to Sunday, Jan. 17. This is both because I had emails from a few folks saying they’d wanted to enter, but hadn’t had time to complete their submissions, and because I’ve just found out that local laws state that, if I’m having a giveaway, there are certain issues that I have to address in my announcement. So I’m going to be correcting those in a post that will go out hopefully tomorrow. The long and short of it is, please enter the contest! We’ll have some fantastic prizes (that I’m legally bound to describe in full in tomorrow’s post!).
And once again, happy holidays!
