Editor's note: We are taking a much-needed deep breath and a break to spend extra time with -- and give extra thanks for -- our family and friends (we hope you do the same). There's sure to be lots to catch up with when we return Monday, December 29. Until then, we wish all of you a most joyous holiday season, wherever you are. -- Kristen Richards
