Merry Christmas, DU!!!
= new reply since forum marked as read
but I try to keep people from realizing it. 
I've been here 5 years but my grandchildren have kept me busy. Was gone for almost 4 before I came back to push for Bernie. Figured those kids need his help and I'll work for that anytime.
And I watched a bunch of Christmas vids on YouTube with my little granddaughter yesterday. It the first time I've had a chance to really show her some of the older shows and songs I loved as a kid. She'd never seen Charlie Brown Christmas. Now she has.
Happy New Years to you as well.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
