Hi to all my Moya Moya family,

I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a wonderful new year.
I sincerely hope for some of you that 2006 will be a far better year than the one you have just experienced.

Christmas down under will be a summer affair with lots of seafood and not so much hot food.

I personally will be having lunch at our house with Tony and our 2 kids - my dad will be visiting in the morning and our best friend Alain will also be dropping around. After lunch we will go to Tony's father and step mum and the rest of his family will be there (3 brothers, partners and kids) and 2 uncles and aunts. There will be lots of phone calls to rellies who are not with us - my sister is in Brisbane with her husband.
I will also go to put flowers on my mom's plaque at a rememberance park where the kids can feed the ducks.

I envy all of you who will be experiencing a white Christmas,  but thank you all for your input over the last year to questions I have posted and to the good friends I have made online - especially you Shan!

Lots of love and best wishes
Moira

I too want to wish everyone a very Merry, safe and Happy Holiday Season!  Like Moira, I too envy all of you who are enjoying a white Christmas!  I've yet to see snow!!!  :-/

DJ, you are a blessing to us!  

Moira, Shari, LisaH, Trina, Lore, Cubbie, Irene, Jan, Michelle, Carol, Christy, the Shin family, Tom, Greg, Hillary, and everyone else here... thank you for all your support and welcoming me to this wonderful site!  What would I do without all of you?  I can never thank everyone who have kindly took the time to answer my 1 million questions!  Moira, you are in inspiration...always uplifting!  Thank you!

God Bless,
Shan

p.s.  Can somebody send me some snow?  Please?  hee hee....  [smiley=huh.gif] ;;D

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO THE ENTIRE MOYAMOYA FAMILY [smiley=heart.gif]

I feel priviledged to have the opportunity to know you and I want to thank you for your endless support and invaluable information through sharing your personal experieinces with moyamoya.

Shan, How many tons of the "white stuff" would you like delivered to Hawaii? [smiley=crackup.gif]

Moira, don't be too envious of those of us who must endure the "white stuff" because to have the "big white monster" it has to be cold.  It was 6 below zero here yesterday. [smiley=yikes.gif] Sometimes we get so much snow we get snowed in and can't get out. Even so, the snow is pretty and especially at Christmas and especially if you don't have to be out and about in it or have to drive in it. Actually, that can be entertaining...to watch folks try and manuver in the snow and especially in a car. [smiley=yikes.gif]

May you all have a very blessed Christmas and a safe and happy New Year.

Love and hugs to all, [smiley=heart.gif] [smiley=hug.gif]

Lore

Lore,

Send as much as you can!  I just want to plop myself in it...lay in it and make those snow angels I see people making on t.v.!   ;)  Looks like a ton of fun!

Please tell Kevin I said "[glb]Mele Kalikimaka[/glb]" too...

Happy Holidays,
Shan

I hope eveyone has a wonderful holiday season.  And Moira, thank you SO much for being the first one to send this message and start the ball rolling !!  Wish I could send you and Shan some snow, but all we get down here is black ice.

Love and Hugs,

Thanks for starting this post, Moira.  I haven't been here to post much lately . . . typical holiday craziness on our end, too.  Hopefully we can all step back to remember the "reason for the season", and enjoy some special time with our families.  

It's been an amazing year . . . thanks to each of you for the part you've played in our lives (mine, Campbell's and Tara's).  Our MM family is an AWESOME group of people, and hopefully each of us can continue to pay it forward as others continue to join us.

Hugs from out west and Merry Christmas!

Gdaay! Moria and a Merry Christmas to you ;;D and yours.

By the way [smiley=huh.gif] [smiley=huh.gif] can you tell me what a winge is? It's not in the New Jersey vocabulary :D

    Oh and Shan, I  truly love snow but would like to make a trade for some crystal clear blue water, a ripe pineapple and a palm tree.
    Melekeliki Maka Shan (did I spell that right?)

Hi Tom
A winge is a gripe or moan - something I tend to do well very occasionally!!
Love Moira

To my MoyaMoya family...

I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. May each of your holiday dreams come true.

Thank you for the all of the wonderful support over the past nine months. Your support and words of wisdom have made the whole MM diagnoisis phase easier to deal with. And, the education was priceless.

May you and your families be blessed throughout the new year.

Happy Holiday's....be safe and be warm.
Greg and Olga

PS. To the NYC/NJ/PA crowd, I'll see you in a few weeks. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone in Princeton.
