Today I've got to cook a turkey and all the stuff that goes with it (we do that on Christmas Eve - 'complex' family!), finish the Christmas shopping and deal with two very excited children who won't settle down early to sleep tonight on account of Santa arriving any time soon. Yet I find myself this morning looking longingly at a couple of pieces of maple and a length of yew, feeling a bit sad that I can't continue dealing with them for a few days. It takes over, doesn't it?
Anyway, I joined the forum in Spring and have learned sooo much from the patient and kind advice people give here. It feels like a real community with shared interests where people like me (just starting out) are supported and encouraged by people who are clearly incredibly skilled and accomplished craftsmen/ women - who still find the time to help newbies like me - and every level in between.
Soooo, I just wanted to say thanks to you all, and to wish you a very happy Christmas and New Year.

ps I might just have a quick go at that maple before setting about lunch - how hard can cooking a turkey be?
