It is once again a time to be thankful for all we have. Things really could be worse! Five more years of Goldilocks?
In all seriousness, may you and yours have a holiday filled with non-sarcasm! :)

Mark ,
Thank you for all your hard work and charts, and your habit of answering comments...something I especially enjoy.
My best wishes to you and yours.
I'll second that -- you come up with very unique and insightful takes on things... and chart them!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
I really appreciate having readers who don't constantly bicker and fight amongst themselves (or with me for that matter). I'm just not into that at all.
It's one reason why I try to at least partially acknowledge every comment. I figure if someone is willing to put in the time to comment, then I would like to show that it matters to me. It does!
Knowing that, think of the basket case I'd be if my blog was as popular as Calculated Risk, lol. There's no way I could do that.
I'm not trying to win a prize in economics or turn this into a money making venture. In the words of the president where I once worked...
We have fun environment with creativity and fun.
He wasn't exactly telling the truth. I'm reminded of all the layoffs. Maybe that wasn't a good example, lol.
In all seriousness, the feedback I get here often inspires new posts. Every now and then someone really gets me to laugh out loud. Works for me!

Mark,
I have always enjoyed stopping in here, and even though I'm not a brainiac like the rest of your commenters, you always take time to reply.
I just wanted to say thanks.
Watchtower,
I waited up all night just to reply to your comment.
Well, either that or I was up all night playing video games on the PS3 again.
It's one of the two. Of that I am very certain! ;)
P.S. I should chart the addictive nature of video games and extrapolate it out a few decades. Now that could be a scary chart.
We don't have a celebration to fuss about between Guy Fawkes' Night (5th November) and Christmas. Except for people keen on Scottish Country Dancing who enjoy St Andrew's Night. But we do have a good celebration between New Year and Easter - Burns' Night. Unfortunately these celebrations tend to lead to either staggering or to weight inflation - so it's stagflation all over again.
Mark,
Move over and make room for me in this group hug. Seriously, thanks for all the work and charts.
Don't forget the sarcasm on Thanksgiving. Like jello, there's always room for sarcasm.
That chart looks suspiciously like a drumstick!
Best to you and yours.
dearieme,

Hahaha!
November 2011 was not one of my better months! Come to think of it, neither was December 2011. D'oh! ;)
I'm doing much better this November though, at least so far. I have Mr Slippery's hiking shoe recommendation to thank.
Mr Slippery,
Don't forget the sarcasm on Thanksgiving. Like jello, there's always room for sarcasm.
You are right of course. I should have factored in that there can never be too much sarcasm. Perhaps I'll make a sarcastic chart today.
It might not be easy though. This economy might not have anything sarcastic left in it.
Sarcastic emphasis added. Hurray! ;)
Rob Dawg,

Fantastic! Here's some canned cranberry sauce to go with it!
Oops! That's the chart of Citigroup. Let's try it again. In my defense, both were in the red.
