To YOU, our dearest treasured VIP extended flock member,
So much has transpired during this last year we have shared together!
For starters, we have all nearly completed another whole year on this round blue planet.
Wow.
If that wasn’t already enough of an accomplishment in itself, some of us have also come out of and then gone back into hibernation – all in the same year.

Others of us have eaten a lot and grown a lot and are still primed to eat and grow even more.

And still others of us have preened and molted and preened and molted and concluded this year in full fine feather.

It is a lot to pack into a single year’s time.
Yet we have still found time to write to you every single day for nearly 365 days straight, and oh what a joy it has been.
Every day, new adventures unfold. Every day, there is more to learn about ourselves, one another and our dear ones near and far.
Lucky, lucky us.
In whatever way you choose to celebrate this year, please know that here in Texas, we are celebrating YOU and feeling grateful for another wonderful year together.
As Pearl always reminds his mommy (about every other minute and any time she forgets again and breaks direct line-of-sight), together is always better.
Happiest holidays from our little flock to yours, wherever around the world you are when you receive this letter.
May you be safe, warm, well fed (VERY well fed, Malti emphasizes), happy, healthy, with all that you need and some to share.
