So the other day as I’m answering emails from some of the wonderful readers of this blog, a message pinged from Jim “The Godfather” Collins to wish us Merry Christmas, to which my reaction was “It’s Christmas?!?”
So I opened up a calendar and discovered that I was, in fact, responding to reader mail on Christmas Eve like some kind of workaholic freak!
And that just goes to show you that when you get to do what you love every day, those holidays really sneak up on you because really, EVERY day is a holiday. And even though I may sound a bit cranky sometimes, writing this blog, hearing from you in the comments and in our inbox, and maybe, just maybe, helping a few of you understand your money a little bit better really is our twisted little version of Nirvana.
So from Wanderer and I, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making our weird little blog feel like home.
Oh…and Merry Christmas! Apparently.

Haha, great song! I can’t think of any better gift to have gotten this year than financial independence, early retirement, and some flexible travel rewards 🙂
Merry Christmas, and best of luck in the new year!

In our family Christmas means toys and eating tons of food, so of course we mark it on the calendar! 🙂
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! Every day is a holiday, but the ones we share with friends and family tend to mean more!
I didn’t know you guys celebrate Christmas. ?
We’re Chinese Canadian so we celebrate Christmas AND Chinese New Year 🙂 It’s twice the fun! YAY!
Merry Christmas to all the readers. I just started my journey, you can follow me on my blog : http://www.befreeandwealthy.com
I’m in Honolulu and it’s hard to believe it’s Christmas for us too when it’s 80F outside. Can’t imagine how the Aussies feel.
Where are you in the world now? It’d be cool if right under “posted by” it had “from” with the city/country you are in.
Thank you guys! Found you through MadFientist, I am so glad i did.
I just discovered your site and i’ve been binge reading over the holiday. Thanks for sharing!
