Merry Christmas

I'd just like to say a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everybody
...and thanks for a great forum,
full of friendly people that enjoy our hobby, with a splash of humour and a dash of witty banter.



....may Santa bring you a truck full of new kits !!!

Yup, Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all.

I've just found a new santa...... His names Al and runs a nice forum!

Merry Christmas and Happy new year to all of you. What a great group I have not had to delete one post from anyone because it was out of line. That makes it a wonderful year for me.

From Sue, the grand kids (Ellie, Trent and Grace) and Buck.

Well as an aethiest, I don't celebrate Christmas but I do celebrate the midwinter solstice on the same day. (Yeah I know that's four days late!!)

However, I would like to take the opportunity to wish you Health, Wealth and Happiness in everything you do.

Cheers guys, you are all the real stars of this site.

Roll on 2015.

Religion aside, this time of long, dark nights and an end to the calendar year makes a person think about things. May we all be thankful for all that we have in life and remember those having hard times. Thanx to all for this best model site forum!

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE HEART OF ZION.  Having said that I would like to list just some of the things I have to be thankful for.

1.  My dear wife of 54 years.  She is a special woman who has managed to put up with me bringing home the stress of the job for years.  She has managed to maintain regardless of her own stresses of being a police officer's wife.  She has provided me with a happy home for all these years.  She has always said YES when I decided I wanted to see some other part of California and asked if she minded transferring again with all the work that entailed.  She has been a Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother par excellence.  She has always been the woman I have wanted to come home to.  

2.  My family.  Two daughters, two sons-in-law, 13 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren.  The daughters and their husbands have strong happy marriages of 31 years each.  It is easy to be happy with such a family.

3.  My past career of over 30 years in law enforcement.  I loved the job as much on the last day as I did on the first.  It was a career where each day I felt that I was making a difference.  Nobody can ask for anything more than that.

4.  My friends.  Over the years I have had many acquaintances, but relatively few friends.  Those true friends I cherish.  I particularly cherish the friendship of a certain Englishman who made the trip to Utah this past year.  Hopefully he will be able to come back again and we can keep the rain off the Salt Flats this time.  

5.  There is much more for me to be happy about in this Christmas Season, but I won't go into religion.  


Finally, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rock On John!! Well said my friend.

Hi John,

First of all, well said and congratulations on the 54yrs of marriage, also, I know your in the US, but, thank you Sir for your 30yrs of Police service, not an easy thing to do in the US...

Andy...

Merry Christmas to All except Al. I wish him a Merry Solstice.....I think

Buck - What a great photo, that boy looks like a handful.

John - In another life I was a cop too. The wives of police officers are the same all over the world and the shift work can make family life difficult too.

Good art work! He may let the elves do the building, but detailing needs an expert! Happy holidays to all!

Happy Holiday wishes to every one of you. Enjoy the time with family!

Merry Christmas to all.  Regardless of your beliefs, the end of the year is a good time to get together with family, celebrate and reflect on the good things in our lives.

  All y'all.

Thanks Don, Merry Christmas to you also.

Merry Christmas to ALL

May the New Year bring peace, wisdom, and lots of kits!
