Its been one Hell of a Year!

From the News in the World, to the Plethora of New Pins,
Pinside and you all, have been my connection to Peace of Mind!
I found myself in better health, thanks to self research, Grateful for
this time, Family and friends, and the saving grace of Pinside and the Gang!

For this, and more, A Merry Christmas, A fresh New Year, and wishes for a Happy Holiday season,
for Health and Joy to all in the world, but especially to Pinball Fans that allow me to be a kid again, at the push of a button.

A special Holiday wish to all those that helped, ran a business, created games, and helped the Hobby Grow, and flourish!

Ive had and still have more than a few bumps to get to a level ground, but I can count on Pinsiders to bring so much to me,
on a daily basis, I simply have to say, from my heart,

Thank you all...and Merry Christmas!

Holiday humor is greatly welcomed here, so Ill leave you all with a couple.

Thank you all, My apologies, I didnt mean to make this personal in reply...but thank you.

While the house is a mess, its always open to all fellow Pinheads that live or come to visit Orlando.

Nothing better than meeting new friends, and playing a few games.... I think of that as Christmas Spirit too!

No roof yet! Thanks for all the replies!

If you have young kids, I think Christmas is as memorable as the memories of our own Childhood!

I loved toy shopping, but my kids are all grown.
So my wife and were chatting about Toys we got at Christmas when we were little.

I had to look up my first Pinball Machine! I was 6 years old!

Anyone else remember get a pinball machine for Christmas as a Kid?

Well, Its Christmas time again.....seems to come around every year, huh?

What a year 2020 has been! Im glad I survived!

I think this year, more than ever in my life, it is time to say grace, and give thanks for all that we have endured,
and made us stronger.

It is also a time to remember all we lost....family, friends, as I see a post from Who-dey here, it begs a tear.

Hanukah is this week, and is celebrated in the RCC, with the books of Maccabees, and the feast of lights on the calendar
in Rome.

The 2 are integrated, not separate, and Christmas wouldnt be here without it.

Like the world today, the more we know, the less we hate, and can celebrate in Harmony, with all, with a positive message going forward.

Christmas to me, is about Peace, not division, Love, not hate, and I stand against those that thrive on Division.
Education and knowledge, over ignorance and positioning for self gain.

Im so grateful and thankful for everyone here, that shares their passions, their stories, their love, as it gives me fuel from one day to the next.....Something needed in these times, and as I age.

Pinside HAS made a difference in my life, thanks to all of you! For that, I am humbled and grateful.

Happy Holidays to All! Hug the kids, and family, and celebrate the Joy of life and friends in Peace.
