The turkey is in the oven, and everything else is nearly done, so here I sit at my computer.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as I sent last week&#8217;s newsletter I realized that I did not wish my American readers a &#8220;Happy Thanksgiving.&#8221;  Then I began to think about how the practice of wishing holiday happiness has left the personal, and spilt over into the commercial. Many businesses send holiday greetings.  And I often enjoy receiving them.   But if a company (me, in this case) fails to express a holiday greeting, is it a faux paux that requires an apology?<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I hope yours was a warm and loving holiday.<\/p>\n<p>Comments welcome:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.surfnetkids.com\/archives\/cat_whats_new.html#000393\">http:\/\/blog.surfnetkids.com\/archives\/cat_whats_new.html#000393<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Today&#8217;s newsletter is brought to you by the following sponsor.<\/P><\/p>\n<ul>\n<LI>        <b>5 Ways to Use a Surfnetkids Printable<\/b><br \/>\nSurfnetkids Printables are two-page Internet enrichment<br \/>\nhandouts with five to ten recommended sites and related<br \/>\nonline games on a variety of subjects for a variety of<br \/>\nage groups.
