Good job. Now then, since our families and friends have been so patient with us throughout the year, we feel they deserve our attention during the holiday season.
We’ll be taking a short break from our regular posting schedule during this period, and we’ll resume our regular posting schedule on January 5, 2008. We know we’re supposed to write all about all our plans for the upcoming year, but really, we think that’s just tempting fate to come and screw each one up.
While we’re here, we’d like to thank those of you who have supported us this year, from readers to clients to
colleagues. Best wishes to all of you for the coming New Year, and may it be a bright, happy, prosperous one for each of you.
James and Harry
Happy holidays, dear Pen Men. Have a fantastic break.
Also… DUDE! We can now subscribe to comments without having to comment first! That’s awesome!

Yeah, don’t mess with fate — I heard she’s even worse to fool than Mother Nature.
Happy Holidays and all the best!

RhodesTer´s last blog post…“and since we’ve no place to go..â€
@ Allison – YES! How cool is that, eh! See? See? That was on the “We asked the Pen Men if they could” list too – and we came through!
@ JD – She carries bigger guns, too.
@ Rhodester – Sure. Goes well with backbacon. Want some?
Have a great Christmas guys. I look forward to your posts in 2009.
Finding your blog has been one of the discoveries of 2008
Happy Holidays from Ireland!
Ah, one of my favorite holiday tunes. Good one.
Love you guys. Hooray for you, taking a blog-break. Enjoy your family time, Harry and James. Well deserved!
Regards,
Kelly

I love the fact that beer showed up on day one – first things first!
Happy Holidays!
Thanks, James and Harry for providing a well-written, thought-provoking blog this past year and for helping me get my own up and running.
Your short break is a great reminder to us all that our families and friends deserve our attention during the holiday season.

As if I didn’t tell you often enough… you guys are AWESOME!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Season’s Greetings to James and Harry and their families!
lol – Funny how some Christmas songs are timeless… Except perhaps the bit about the seven packs of smokes. That might be updated in the remake.
Merry Christmas, Pen Men. And may all your beer be Molson Canadian (it’s Bob and Doug approved…)
(Actually, come to think of it, that might be what got me started on Canadian… I always wondered that.)
Cheers!

Hey all, thanks for the warm wishes
@Conor: I’m looking forward to our posts too, can’t wait to see what we end up doing next!
@Kelly: Love to you too, and enjoy your holiday!
@Allison: You can say it again, it won’t go to waste
@Michelle: Thanks!
@Graham: Nah, don’t change it. We’ve got enough PC stuff in the world and it’s classics like this that make me smile and think of a time when you could say something funny and not have to worry about a lawsuit in the process. *pops open another Molson* Cheers!
@ Conor – Woot! That was a cool thing to hear – a Christmas present that cost nothing!
@ Kelly – Yeah, a friend of mine made me realize that people are more important than work. I always knew it, but work fogged my brain and I needed a wake-up call. May this holiday season bring you peace too.
@ Mark – Well, you know. I think people should know where our priorities are, hm?
@ Allison – Ha, you too! (Besides, gingersnaps… mmmm!)
@ Michelle – Aw, thank you. The same to you and your family as well.
@ Graham – Having not quite yet kicked the habit, let me just say…
Can I have Graham’s smokes if he doesn’t want them?
@Harry – Alrighty then, once again, you’re awesome!
@James – It’s okay, I know you only love me for my cookies. (I kid, I kid!
)

Happy Christmas and have a wonderful break. You deserve it.
@James – heading on over to my brother’s house for the family get together. I was put in charge of getting the beer – very important task! So, yes, we do know our priorities!
Have a good one guys. Thanks for the best wishes and thanks for taking time out of your day to share with us the wonderful experiences and knowledge you guys have gained over the years online and in business.
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy New Year . . .

Very thoughtful of you.
Hope you men have a very nice holiday break and I’ll look forward to your returns after things slow down a bit. Please enjoy yourselves responsively.
Cheers,
James and Harry, I hope you guys enjoy your break! Happy Holidays!

Enjoy your holiday. We look forward to reading more in the new year.
We’re taking this time to expand our Writing Tips for a Year series and help clients finalize their manuscripts prior to submission. Maybe we’ll get our vacation in late January.

All the best, Happy New Year to all of the Men with Pens family. Cheers!
