Okay everybody!! Let the APOG Christmas party commence!! Help yourself to the eggnog, have some of those homebaked goodies over on that table (I especially recommend the rumballs- I think they are Busymom's "special" recipe), and don't forget to watch out for the mistletoe (especially you, Wil. I'm just sayin'. Remember what happened last year.)

Oh, speech? Well, I suppose I could say a few words. What a year we've had at APOG! We've got a lot of new faces (like Snidge over there in the reindeer ears), and of course the few nuts who've actually been here since day one! (Give Christin a hand everybody!! What a trooper!) It's been a good year. We've laughed and cried and learned a lot along the way. (Hey Sarcasmo, that's not Santa's lap you're sitting on... that's the Presurfer- just to letcha know.) I have high hopes for 2005, and I hope you'll all be with us next year to celebrate again! Now, raise your glasses everybody, and toast a Merry Christmas with me. (Just one glass, Annie!)

Cheers!!

Alright my little elflings, let's enjoy the rest of the night! Did I hear Took say she brought a limbo stick? Oooh, and look, she painted it like a candycane. She's so clever.

Thanks for coming, y'all.
Seriously.
We loves ya.
