Happy New Year to you, and let it be the best New Year Yet.
Happy New Year to you, your wife, daughter, and the furry ones among you.
Happy New Year to you, Krissy, Athena, and all your four-legged family members!
For most of us in the family it is the start of what could be a great new year. I just gave $50 each to the Wounded Warrior Project, and the Irag and Afghanistan Veterans of America. I dare any 5 people to give at least $10 to each.
On a sadder note, my twin great nephews just lost one of their best friends to either a nasty accident, or suicide. In EITHER case, losing someone close as a teen sucks a dirty donkey tail. This is a fucked up start to the new year. For me personally, I’ve got awesome friends and family, and some of that family is going through a terrible time.
Love to all you who come here or are friends and family of our Gracious Host.
Happy New Year!
The kitties seem to have this 2016 thing well in hand already.
Happy New Year to you and your family – though we still have about two-and-a-half hours to go here in SoCal.
Happy New Year!
Best to all!
And likewise to you, sir, and to your family, both two-legged and four. May health and happiness grace your hearth this year, and may creativity continue to delight you (and the rest of us) all the year long.
Lots of happiness on that sofa already, by the look of it :) . Happy New Year to you, your family, and your pets.
Here’s hoping for a healthy, happy and prosperous 2016!
With lots of Scamperbeasts to love….
Brain: We must prepare for tomorrow night.
Pinky: Why? What are we going to do tomorrow night?
Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky – try to take over the world!

CUDDLE PILE ON ZEUS!!AAAHHH!!1!
Good work, good health, and deliciousness in 2016, surrounded by those you love and those who love you. I mean, really, why the hell not?
Happy New Year! The cats seem to be welcoming it in the style that they’ll probably continue – much napping.
ah, I see the furry ones have colonised the sofa… I hope you have other chairs ;-p
Happy New Year to you and yours! John, you brought a lot of insight and fun and thoughtfulness to me in 2015 – through your books and pictures and blog – and I have faith that 2016 will be even brighter.

Happy New Year from my cats to yours.
Those cats are so cool.
Happy New Year to your and yours!
or you and yours, if you prefer …
Zeus and the Scamperbeasts. Now there’s a something-or-other. They look quite pleased with the couch for cozy napping and cuddling. As long as you have somewhere suitable for same. :) Gee, they really know how to live it up. Must’ve been all that eggnog….
Happy New Year to all. Health and happiness and prosperity, and loved ones to share it with.
Me, I want to make it through January, finally get font drafts submitted so I might have a chance at income again, so I can pull out of this mess. But likely, income won’t happen until February. Skating by until then, I hope. Much else to get past in the new year, and hoping somehow things will work out without too much more trouble.
@digitalatheist — I’m sorry to hear that about your nephews’ friend. I was reminded of a childhood friend who died a few years back, cause unspecified. Life had long ago separated us, but still, I missed him. When things get very rough, I try to remind myself not to do that. We never know who might miss us.
Happy New Year to all the Scalzis of all species and leg numbers!
Happy New Year to you and your family! Meow! I just started following, love what I see so far, excited to learn more!! Your freakin awesome. :)
