Ladies and gentlemen the Christmas season is almost at an end and while we’ve been very busy entertaining ourselves in order to keep you entertained in the past months we’re taking a little relaxation time. Things might be a little quiet around here for the next week what with all those TV movie repeats, turkey sandwiches and family quarrels but we will be back in fighting form in the New Year.
