HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYBODY

Thanks Dalia,

I wish you, your mother and entire family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I don't know where this year has gone, it seems to have just flown by. It has been a wonderful year for me personally, at home and here on Expat-blog too. I've made some wonderful life-long friends such as Matt and yourself and I've learned and grown because of it.

I have had the great pleasure of personally helping a number of members realize their dream of coming to Brazil, getting married to their loved ones and struggling through the permanency process. I've seen a great change in the system that I fought for so many years, and as MY luck would have it, only AFTER I had finally obtained permanency.

I've also seen some fantastic changes in Expat-blog, many of which I have helped to bring about. So all in all, it's been a wonderful year. I'm looking forward to continuing on at the same pace next year helping both members and administration alike. I really must confess that my involvement with Expat-blog has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life, thanks to my contact with so many people just like you, Matt, Aida & Robb, and so many others.

Happy Holidays my dear friend.

Cheers,
James
