"Happy Old Year! Hopeful New Year!"

Leaving aside the debate between commercializing Christmas vs. annihilating Christmas (as if the very mention of the word were taboo), I'll instead focus this "holiday" edition of the newsletter on the soon-to-be Old Year of 2005. As usual, our company attended MadFest, MONDO, and IJA, but very unusual was our move to Colony Park Church, both in its scope and in the surprise of retaining our company's size and quality (the latter being arguably increased). In retrospect, JH had a "Happy Old Year!" In fact, to pick on a seldom-scrutinized holiday, the phrase "Happy New Year" is presumptuous, isn't it? Yes, it's a congenial wish, but a more accurate wish would be "Hopeful New Year!" Hope, by its very definition, is a derivative of faith. Everyone believes in something: chance, self, fate, God. Grounded in my faith in God, I am confidently hopeful for a happy 2006 for JUGHEADS. Wendy & I thank you for supporting us in order to bless your kids.
