Many years ago (well, a lot of years now), I posted these similar thoughts here on the DIS, a thought and sentiment, along with a photo, plus a song link. Back then I thought it seemed like a pretty photo (still do), capturing a bit of the spirit, our collective enjoyment of Disney, that originally brought us all to this crazy little board here on the Net.
Some have come here, maybe just in the past year or past few months. Or others, like myself, many, many years ago. At a time like this, Christmas time, Hanukkah time, Kwanzaa time, Holiday time, end-of-the-year time, I also think back to all those who are not with us here anymore, some by choice, some not by choice. Those not by choice, wish they could return. I think of the many folks from the DIS who have passed away over the years. Some well-known, prolific posters, others, not so much. but all still family, DIS family. I miss them all, dearly.
Both then, years ago, and again now, I still do not think I can really say it any better. The greetings of Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year are certainly old, oft repeated. But they are always welcome. So, here it is again for another Christmas. The greeting does get old, like me, but then again, not really, as Christmas and the Season are ageless even though we are all another year older.
We’ve seen posts from our friends here who have lost loved ones, family members or friends, and DIS friends over this past year. Others of us have had some of our pets go on to the Rainbow Bridge but others have given new homes, our homes, to other pets, who now are a part of our families. My condolences to all who have lost a loved one.
We’ve also seen and heard of the many accomplishments of many of us here, our family members, and friends. Congratulations to all. The friendly vibe here on the DIS is still noticeable. Continued thanks to TPTB.
2026 begins in a few days, next week. Who could have predicted 2025 a year ago. Likewise who can predict 2026? It will be better. I know I said that also last year in another similar post. It will be. It will be better.
So this year, once again, a wish for everybody.......
Wishing everyone a very Merry and Blessed Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah (the spirit of it continues), Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, Festivus or whichever celebrations of the Season you, family and friends may celebrate.

I found another group singing the very pretty song I have posted here each year, Life In 3D
I thought I would mix it up a little this year with the following video. Same song, O Holy Night.
In years past, I think I have posted this song as performed by the likes of artists Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Chris Tomlin/CeCe Winans, Billie Eilish. And here, Life In 3D
