Beautiful. Peace and contentment for all. A perfect wish. Have a lovely break dear Anne. You’ve been a wonderful addition to my life this year. Thanks so much for all you do. Sending heaps of hugs and best wishes for the year ahead. 🤗🤗😘😘🥰🥰
Awww Beth, likewise! And your comments every week have been a delight. Wishing you a happy holiday season and a fantastic 2024 on other side of the planet!
After watching that video of Roberto Ciriaco bringing so much joy to everyone, my only New Year’s resolution is to become more joyful and share that mindset with as many people as possible. You have certainly brought joy to my life, Anne, and I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a joyful, healthy 2024!
I was writing my comment when the power went out -- heavy winds/rain in MA -- and it shut down my computer, although I have a battery backup (UPS)! I took this as a sign from the gods and goddesses to be brief and just want to wish you a lovely holiday! Have a marvellous time, dear friend!
happy holidays anne! the singing xmas tree reminds me of those stores at the mall back in the 90s-00s that had areas where all the robot toys that danced or ran and wiggled around would frolic together. i don't recall ever owning one but greatly enjoyed seeing them all run into each other! the repeating what you say is a whole other level
Megan I remember those displays. They still have them sometimes out in front of shops in Chinatown. But yes the talking back parrot thing is new. The shopkeeper said this is the first year she's seen them. Made in China, of course!
I only just caught up on this. Thanks for another terrific post! Wishing you a peaceful and happy holiday break. Looking forward to more Café Anne in 2024!

What a great resolution Jill. Imagine if everyone did that!
I am so happy to hear you enjoyed the Roberto's moves as much as I did. I must have watched it a zillion times now.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you!
That person who ran through and shimmied! So great.
So funny, right? That is my favorite part.
Thanks for this, I felt the vicarious pleasure of a brief holiday trip to my favourite city, despite being 3000 miles away!
Oh that's great Paul—just the feel I was hoping for. Thank you!
The best gift guide I've read this year. Thank you!
Haha wouldn't it be funny to give someone one of each? Especially the toilet plunger. Happy holidays Bill!
What a nice close to the year Anne. The very best to you wherever life takes you in 2024.
Thank you Mr. Dolan, and thank you for your support all year. Here's to many fun adventures in 2024!

The weather is bonkers here too, Jessica. Stay warm and dry please. Wishing you a lovely rest of the holiday season as well!
Love the videos in this edition! Thank you for such a fun newsletter all year long. Happy holidays and a wonderful 2024 to you, Anne!
Oh I am glad you enjoyed the videos Debra. It was my first try and I have to say it was a lot of fun for me, so more in 2024!
Thanks for your kind words. Wishing you happy holidays and a lovely new year as well. :)

Happy New Year Jolene!
I’m a little disappointed that Mad Max isn’t for sale - seems like it would make a delightful gift.
EVERYTHING has a price, Mr. Southern. Perhaps you could pay off the owner's debts!
I only just caught up on this. Thanks for another terrific post! Wishing you a peaceful and happy holiday break. Looking forward to more Café Anne in 2024!
Thank you Maura! I am having the MOST LOVELY PEACEFUL holiday break I've ever enjoyed my whole life. :) Wishing the same for you!
