*** FROHE WEIHNACHTEN! ***
*** JOYEUX NOËL! ***

This story is impressive — year after year! But I could imagine that anyone who digs into their family past could also find out some fascinating things. I’m having this experience right now because I own the family archive.

Merry Christmas to GA and his dear cat and to all readers!

Love & Peace

“I wear the key of memory and can open every door in the house of my life.”

GA, I hope the doors of your memories remain wide OPEN and bring you happiness and
reflection always. Thank you, and best holiday wishes.

A grateful reader.

Thank you so much for this, and for your thousands of daily postings, which have come to be a reliable morning ritual.

All good wishes for 2025.
