For lack of anything original to say, here are some links to make your season bright:

Via Rocket Jones, some cheesecake. Warning: NSFW!)

Via Silver Blue, a “Dear John” letter for the cyber age.

Via Rue, Madonna condoms!

From LeeAnn, a fabulous rendition of Santa Baby, full of links to more nuts than a cyber-fruitcake. 😉 (Thanks for the mention, love!)

But, alas, the season brings joy to some. But sometimes, it takes it away, too.

Via Lachlan, Jenn tells of the secret handshake. We all belong to a “secret” club of some sort — but few are brave enough to share it, especially when the hurt is so fresh.

But, to leave you on a sweet note:

Pratt gets some long-awaited closure.

I just want to share my gratitude for everyone who has been there for me, both online and off. I don’t know how I’ve made it this far or how I will keep on making it, but having all of you there for me has made the ride less bumpy

There’s something I want this holiday season, and I need all of your good thoughts to help me make things come true. And please know that you are all in my prayers to have 2005 be the year full of the wonderful things you’ve always dreamed about. At this point next year, may we be raising a toast and sighing with relief, with accomplishment, with joy that our lives turned around for the better and that 2005 completely erased the memory of ’04 (may it rest in peace and never recur!). May the good news start rolling in immediately and may we all be the stronger for everything we have faced.

I wish you love and luck and all the happiness in the world, and I hope a miracle finds its way to all of us!
