However you greet it...

I hope that 2012 is even happier for you than this year was: that it brings you more success,

more friends, more fun, more laughter, more--well, booze, apparently.

 Anyway, whatever you do to celebrate the evening, and whoever you celebrate it with,

don't forget to preserve the good times in pictures, so that, fifty years from tonight,


our children can have as much fun, laughing at all of us, as we have laughing at our parents.

 It's the least we can do for those who will follow us. The Circle of Life is a wonderful thing. 

And for those who prefer, as I do, to spend a quiet evening at home, Pleasant dreams.
