Just wanted to drop a little message to say merry Christmas to all on DFW Diaries - whether you post or you lurk, may you have a splendid time over the next few days.
Also, I suspect like many others - those we have lost tend to be at the forefront of my mind this time of year, so I’ll make mention of Taxi & Kissjen - both such enormous and vital cogs on this board in times gone by, and both hugely missed by so many of us. There may be others that other people would like to add, too - if so, please do so in comments!

So glad I spotted this. Both Taxi and Kissjen were fantastic supports to me when Mr SA was so poorly 9 years ago. Both very sadly missed 😢I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2
