I must admit, this is a difficult holiday for me this year. Tomorrow is my birthday and 8 days ago, my mother passed away after a long journey through dementia. She had a long, productive life, and I'm glad that she's now at peace. I'm thankful for her presence throughout my life, and very grateful to be with my extended family for Christmas, so we can comfort each other. Despite all the craziness in the world, it is filled with good people, like my mother, and I'm confident that 2023 will continue to right the direction of the ship we're all sailing on. Blessings and Peace to you all. And thank you, Rob, for all that you do to keep us on course.
My Christmas list will be complete when Donald John Trump is indicted on the charge of negligent manslaughter in the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans during the COVID pandemic.
Wishing you a blissful Christmas with your new grandchildren. You and your marvelous “managing editor” have made the world better for them and for so many of us!
A Holiday gift from Congress; passed the omnibus bill funding the government for another year, and without major compromises on major programs. One big potential source of blackmail has been eliminated for the following several months. The reptilian GOP candidate for House speaker may fail to achieve his goal. It's the entire House who must approve of the speaker, lending the slender minority of Dems significant influence over that election. Wouldn't it be amazing if the House elected someone with principles and a spine?
My year-end thought is that, finally, in 2023 Donald Trump will learn why “indictment” is spelled with a “c”, because in the real world, unlike the world on TV, C is for Criminal, not Cookie.
I watched the Christmas greetings offered by you and your wife Jill and I must say that I have *never* seen a more decorated Christmas tree than the one behind you! I'm sure all the ornaments have significance and that's what makes the tree so amazing!!! Next year you'll either need a bigger tree or a second tree for the rest of your ornaments!!!! Enjoy Christmas with your growing family and make memories for your grandchildren. Many thanks for teaching us so much this past year; husband your strength for the coming years; you're going to need it -as will we, your readers!
You are my first cup of tea companion every morning now for maybe a year thanks to a friend who encouraged me to check you out. I can only add my thanks for your optimistic but also gutsy take on all the ,***,,## "issues". Cautiously optimistic that 2023 will see a kick ass DOJ . Cheers!
I hope you and Jill have a happy Christmas with the grandchildren. You are proud of them now, and someday they will be proud of what have accomplished and all the lives you have influenced.

Happy Holidays and a peaceful and productive year ahead. May all the good people become better and all the bad people become good.
Deep appreciation for the many contributions to saving democracy in 2022. We are well seasoned for 2023 preparing for 2024! Wishing peace for all.

Everyone, go a little overboard in extending kindness.
We can tip the balance of what people are experiencing,
and remind them there are good people in the world.
The best to each of you!

Happy hanukkah from Portlandia!
No words; just well wishes to the Hubbell family, and all who follow them!
I hope you and Jill have a happy Christmas with the grandchildren. You are proud of them now, and someday they will be proud of what have accomplished and all the lives you have influenced.
After this year, gratitude is essential. Thank you.
