It is Christmas Eve, and we here at Pine Tree Politics would like to wish you and yours a very merry Christmas.

We will have very spotty updates on this site for the next week or so – but after the holidays we will be back to our usual multiple articles per day, breaking news, and giving you the best analysis out there.

And for anyone interested, this picture was taken last Saturday.  We currently have more snow here than you do.

Merry Christmas!!
