Peace on Earth

Merry Christmas to all Small Business Trends readers, and thanks for your support and kind words throughout the year. You've made all the difference.



And a special greeting to the large contingent of readers from non-English language countries. Even though I can write only in English (trust me, you wouldn't want to read my pigeon Spanish or Italian), please let me extend a holiday greeting to those of you from other countries -- at least the countries that I know of:



Feliz Navidad; Buon Natale; Froehliche Weihnachten; God Jul; Boas Festas; Craciun Fericit; Joyeux Noel; Nollaig Shona Dhuit; Mele Kalikimaka; Nadolig LLawen; Kung His Hsin Nien; Glaedelig Jul; Kung Ho Hsin His; Vrolijk Kerstfeest; Pozdravlyau s prazdnikom Rozhdestva!



(Languages respectively: Spanish, Italian, German, Swedish/Norwegian, Brazilian Portuguese, Romanian, French, Irish Gaelic, Hawaiian, Welsh, Mandarin Chinese, Danish, Hong Kong Chinese, Dutch, Russian.)



And to all our readers who do not celebrate Christian holidays, we extend a warm winter greeting:



Shalom; Namaste; Joyous Kwanzaa; Salaam; Pleasant Winter Solstice. And yes, even to you Seinfeld fans, Happy Festivus.

Peace on Earth, Goodwill to All
