Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate.  I trust that Santa
was good to you, and the women in your life even more so.

Here at the "mist enshrouded mountaintop fortress" that is X & Y
Communications Headquarters, we're enjoying a lazy day featuring
lots of NBA, followed by our semi-traditional dinner at the local
Chinese restaurant.

So, how about some high quality listening material that just might
prove useful as the "Christmas Day letdown" hits around five this
afternoon and everyone is bored (and stuffed)?

Raise your hand if you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.

Well, here's a link to The Mountain Top podcast on iTunes:

That's one more Christmas present for you today, from me.
(You cashed in your $20 Gift Card already, right?)

If you've never listened in before, I'm sure you'll soon wonder
why you waited so long.  You've been missing out on some killer,
killer content with a dogpile of world-famous co-hosts.

There have been several new episodes lately, so enjoy.  It's free,
of course.

Again, a joyous holiday to you.  I also want to take a quick moment
to tell you how much I appreciate you as a subscriber to this
newsletter. 

It's been eleven years ago this month since I sent out the first
X & Y Communications newsletter to seventeen people.  Today the
list is over fifty-eight thousand, with another 150K or so on
Facebook and Twitter.

That would never have happened without you, and I don't ever take
that for granted.

Having met so many of you personally, and many others of you via
phone and e-mail, I'm a better man because of it.

It's an honor and a privilege to work for so many virtuous men of
character like you who are all about changing the world...with a great
woman by their side all the while.

So thank you.

Look forward to the bar being raised in 2017, including some new
directions that you heard about for the first time in the recent survey.

There are also plenty of cool developments coming that haven't been
announced yet.  All in good time...

Meanwhile, enjoy this blessed day and spread the joy.
