As the smell of mince pies and mulled wine starts filling up the house and families get together to eat, drink and be merry, I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas!

This year, I’ve had the opportunity to work with amazing people; clients, suppliers, partners and colleagues in this mad industry of ours. I’ve met some great people, clever ones and funny ones (and many who are both at once!) and have learned more than I thought possible in one year of my little life.

Now’s the time to reflect, relax and refocus before we jump into another year that promises to be even crazier than the last. So as we say in Canada, “attache ta tuque avec d’la broche!”* as we hurtle into a new decade!

Merry Christmas and see you in 2010.
