December 2011 - Wrapping up the Year - Preparing for the Next

As this year ends and the temperatures cool,

The malls are all crowded, the kids out of school.

We only ask for one thing from Santa and the elves

New deals for everyone (we don't just think of ourselves)!

Wrapped in clean books!  Good margins!  And a growth plan that's sound!

To all a healthy new year where good fortunes abound!
