Wow, love this thread. 
@Jacques thank you for our chocolates (just one for me please), and for including me in your virtual family. I know we read and 'like' each other's messages from time to time, even when not directly chatting, and always great to see you at Friday Feast.
@Former-Member thanks for our tulips and hydrangeas (lovely). It's been great getting to know you in Night Shift over recent times. Thanks for being a 'regular' now. I love how we are able to keep each other company and sometimes help each other out in our day to day, night to night lives.
@Former-Member thanks for our scented candles (geranium for me please), and for being the first person to respond to me on the forum. Your kindness at that time is not forgotten. Sending special good wishes to you and children over the Christmas days.
@PeppiPatty thanks for the kind words, and thank you for the poems that gave rise to the videos. I'm so glad you are here on the forum. It just wouldn't be the same without you!
@Billamba special thanks for the gerberas. These flowers have a wonderful personal meaning to me, you are spot on in your pick! I really appreciate your kind words too.
@Appleblossom, you and I joined the forum within a day of each other. I can't tell you how many times I've come on here hoping for some company to happily find you up for a talk. Thank you for being here and for your engagement with me and others.
@NikNik, @CherryBomb and @Shimmer, thank you for all your help and encouragement through replies, 'likes' and occasional direct communication by email over the time I've been on the forum. It is much appreciated!
There are many more I could mention. Thank you to all who share their struggles and wisdoms with us on the forum. My gift to us all would be a virtual xmas picnic together somewhere calming and beautiful like this...
