Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from us at CodeProject to all those celebrating the season. We're winding down for the break, sweeping up the debris of a hectic year, wrapping our final presents, cleaning the hamster trays and taking a break for a week or so to catch up on sleep. Our heartfelt wishes for a safe Christmas. Even though we're not in the office we'll still look after the articles you send in and we'll be keeping up with email as best we can.

Merry Christmas everyone. Be safe.
