Merry Christmas, Big Blue Nation

It's Christmas Eve and if you are reading this blog, thank you.  But after you read this short piece, give the computer a rest.  Go visit with your family, or talk to your wife and kids, or call your friends.

I'm writing this because I have a few minutes before we leave to celebrate our Christmas.  This is a wonderful time, and I wanted to take just a few minutes to wish you all the merriest of Christmases and the happiest and most prosperous of New Years.  Yes, I will be blogging over the holidays.  But not today.

I want to thank everyone for reading, and creating this wonderful community.  It has been a good year for Kentucky fans, and 2010 looks even better from where I'm sitting.  For Christmas, Santa has brought all of us a great sports program, for which we can all be thankful.

But of course, there is so much more, too much to detail here.  Don't forget to count your blessings.  I count the members of this community among my blessings.

Merry Christmas.  May yours be blessed.

Treat as an open thread.
