Messed up that ping BOZ. Editing before coffee is always a bit dodgy :-) MarnetteD|Talk

It's that time of the year ...

Dear Michael,
Thank you for the delightful ecard; always good value, especially with that unexpected extra ending.
As far as we are likely to ever have a white Christmas. Great fun.
All good wishes, Gareth.

Cheers!

Seasons greetings! Wishing you both well! I've been too busy with the languages to watch films but it'll pay off long term and open up ton of titles in French and Italian in particular!† Encyclopædius 08:36, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Encyclopædius and best wishes to you as well. Congrats on all your learning. If you haven't seen it before Nudo di Donna is worth your time. I have a DVD but there are no subtitles so your Italian would be put to good use. I do remember reading that one of the subtleties of the film is that Sandro is from Rome and his dialect is contrasted with the northern Italian of the other characters. The Venetian scenery is gorgeous and worth watching the film on its own. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 18:07, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks MD, I have seen it!! Thanks for the recommendation though! :-) † Encyclopædius 18:25, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Good deal E Merry Merry :-) MarnetteD|Talk 18:27, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

	Hi MarnetteD, I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a very happy and prosperous New Year, Thanks for all your contributions to Wikipedia this past year, like this tree, you are a light shining in the darkness. Onel5969 TT me 12:07, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks so much Onel5969. A gorgeous pic. Growing up in the mountains my father loved decorating just one tree outside the house so it would glow just like this one. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 20:29, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

MarnetteD, excellent! I've always loved random trees in nature decorated for Christmas. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 00:37, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Greetings of the season

Hi Michael, just a quick note to wish you a happy Christmas (I beat you to it this year!). Hope all is well with you. Haven't been very active on Wiki of late, been fairly busy in that most dreaded of places - the real world. But then again, this year has been so weird, I don't think there's many people who haven't had to change up their routines. Hoping to get back into more editing comes next year though. Hope you have a great day tomorrow, and an average 2021 (an average 2012 would be approximately 4.37 times better than 2020). Take care, and I'll talk to you soon. Bertaut (talk) 21:44, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello Bertaut and thanks. A very tough year has left me drained and I couldn't get in the swing of leaving wikigreetings so I appreciate your message even more. My beloved Santa Fe Opera did produce this bit of fun which made me smile. I hope it does the same for you and any of my tpw's that click on the link. Best wishes for your 2021!! MarnetteD|Talk 22:00, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Sorry to hear that. My 2020 hadn't been too great, but it's been a lot better than many. So I'm lucky in that sense. You know you can always email me off-Wiki if the mood takes you. Bertaut (talk) 03:02, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

Walter Elmer Schofield, Across the River (1904), Carnegie Museum of Art.		Best wishes for a safe, healthy and prosperous 2021.
		Thank you for your contributions toward making Wikipedia a better and more accurate place. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 15:16, 26 December 2020 (UTC) Oneupsmanship: This painting turned the friendly rivalry between Edward Redfield and Elmer Schofield into a feud. Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream from New Hope, Pennsylvania, and the two would go out painting together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the jury for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of the Carnegie Institute; at which, despite Redfield's opposition, Across the River was awarded the Gold Medal and $1,500 prize. It was not until a 1963 interview that the 93-year-old Redfield revealed the painting as the cause of the 40-year feud between them. Schofield may have painted it in England, but a blindsided Redfield knew that it was a view of the Delaware River, from his own front yard!

Thank you BoringHistoryGuy. A most interesting story and fulfills my "learn something new each day" for the 26th. Most appreciated :-) Best wishes to you and yours for 2021 as well. MarnetteD|Talk 16:42, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
