Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Just wanted to take a minute to wish all of you a very happy holiday season. I’m back from my trip and ready for the Christmas weekend. Hope you all have lots of great stuff planned!
Those of you who check here often, know I’ve been away this past week. It turns out that doctors found out my mother has breast cancer so it’s been a somewhat rough week for me. While I’m not at all religious, if you are, say a prayer for her. She’ll be undergoing six weeks of therapy before her surgery so I hope all will turn out well. As for my recent disregard for the site, I managed to get my boss to give me a small payraise and cut my hours down slightly during weekdays so that I can still make the same amount, and devote as much time to TipMonkies as I have in the past. How’s that for a Christmas present?

Aww…I’m so sorry to hear that.
You bet I’ll send a prayer to your mom so she gets better soon. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too!

I share a somehow similar situation, because my mother in law is in hospital waiting for a big hearth surgery.
We will have a very simple “family” Christmas lunch tomorrow.
Sure I’ll pray for your mother, too.
And Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks a lot for your site, it’s one of my preferred sources.

I offer many good compliments, a merry Crimbo, and happy holidays to all of you, and especially to Martin and the rest of the TipMonkies team for letting me write here. Also, to Martin, my prayers are with your mother.
Have a good 2006,

I discovered your site a few days ago and I think it’s great. Thank you for sharing those wonderful tips.
I’m sorry to read the sickness of your mother but I will include her in my prayers.
Thanks again and best regards from Peru.

Your mother is in my prayers. I work for a church so I am tight with the Lord… LOL
I know what it is like to have a sick parent so you are in my prayers too.
Your website is such a gift thanks so much for all that you do.
Many Blessings

Really sorry to hear about your Mum.
I know somebody whose Mum has just come through the same thing after almost a year of treatment. It was a long, difficult year for her, but she’s now almost back to 100%.
Take care of her, and have a good 2006.
