   Hello GP,

   I don’t cel­e­brate xmas myself but I appre­ci­ate the sen­ti­ment. In my house we observe Festivus every Dec23rd. We gather the fam­ily together and dec­o­rate a pole. Each per­son grabs the pole and then airs their griev­ances towards the oth­ers in the fam­ily. Then the head of the fam­ily is beaten down to the ground. We then have din­ner and burn the pole.

   Sounds Scotish huh!?

   Anyway, Happy Festivus!

   I also wish you a fis­cally suc­cess­ful, per­son­ally ful­fill­ing and med­ically uncom­pli­cated recog­ni­tion of the onset of the gen­er­ally accepted Gregorian cal­en­dar year 2007, but not with­out due respect for the cal­en­dars of choice of other cul­tures whose con­tri­bu­tions to soci­ety have helped make our coun­try great and with­out regard to the race, creed, colour, age, phys­i­cal abil­ity, reli­gious faith or sex­ual pref­er­ence of the wishee.

   Its Xmas Day in Britain here at last!!! I wish you, Sir Guy, a very merry Christmas, and I wish your fam­ily, and as well, the great blog­gers of this site, a healthy, merry christ­mas.

   I’m ever so so sorry to bother you Mr. Pratt but I do have one ques­tion.

   It has come to the atten­tion that Brain Ferry is per­form­ing at Princess Diana’s Mermorial Gig at the New Wembley Stadium. Basically, all I want to know is, will you be there along­side him buddy?

   All my wishes,
   Simon J (Happy Days!)

    PEACE — HAPPINESS — HEALTH and HUGE GRINS FOR 2007
    For you, your imme­di­ate and extended fam­ily!

    I would love to see you per­form in any form or venue here in the States and there are many oth­ers who would as well — It would be delight­ful — Any plans?
    When is your book being released in America?
    Wishing you all smiles,
    Nance

    Happy Holidays to you all. I espe­cially want to wish a pros­per­ous 2007 as well. I feel this year will be the best of them all!!!

    Look for­ward to more info on the tour, Mr. Pratt.… in due time I’m sure.

    Well Guy, I’d just typed up a long, semi-artic­u­late/­clever post and then man­aged to delete it some­how. I know, it’s like ‘the BIG fish that got away’ … me, artic­u­late and clever? Who do I think I am, Rudders or Angelo?

    Soooo, the gen­eral gist of my miss­ing mes­sage was to wish you and yours a fab­u­lous and happy new year! I’d also like to thank you for your part in mak­ing the last year one I’ll remem­ber always. I don’t know if we can top it, but we can sure try, eh?!!

    Also, I (along with your many Irregular friends) am anx­iously await­ing the release of your book and the promised tour of North America that will fol­low. Having had 6 (SIX!!!) years of Bush and cronies, we are des­per­ately in need of your joc­u­lar­ity! Not that there was­n’t a ton of unin­tended humor as a result of Bush et al, but once you’ve stopped laugh­ing at their stu­pid­ity you have to sit down and cry!! Come and tickle our funny bones Guy … we need a man like you right about now.

    Peace and love!

    Back again …

    I wanted to con­grat­u­late you on your ARIA Hall of Fame award. Sounds like a multi-pur­pose sort of award too what with it being pointy and heavy to boot.

    Also the Bryan Ferry gig sounds like it will be a blast. Great musi­cians and all plus Bob Dylan songs? How could you go wrong? Right now it appears that you’re only tour­ing the UK plus a few European cities, but if you bring it to the states I’d surely be up for the gig!!

    Goodnight and good luck, as they say.

    Peace,
    Gabrielle
