Ana Nemec of Holabird has, in our Publisher's opinion, the best blog in Brookings. OK, maybe not the best blog, but the nicest one. And here lately, the prettiest one . This is thanks in part to her and her roommates, which she showcased this year in her Christmas greeting.

TOO CUTE!

Of course, Ana is like family to our Publisher, so it's no wonder he's so proud of the wonderful job that she's doing. The only way he could be prouder is if she really was a Hinkle.

Ana also posted this little Irish blessing:

"The light of the Christmas star to you.

The warmth of home and hearth to you.
The cheer and good will of friends to you.
The hope of a childlike heart to you.

The joy of a thousand angels to you.
The love of the Son and God's peace to you."

When Jerry Hinkle arrived at McGovern Hall this evening, he saw Ken and Joan Hansen's Christmas card in the mail. He read it at once. The Hansen Christmas letter is in a very entertaining newspaper format, called the Hansen Herald. It is well written and brilliantly organized. As far as we know, neither Ken nor Joan blog. The Hansen Herald is proof that they could blog if they were so inclined. Of course, it takes them a year to come up with top notch material for the Hansen Herald. We've had 1234 posts and still counting in the past 72 months. And we must say that it's not always top notch material. so as far as our Publisher is concerned, The Hansen Herald is worth the 12 month wait!
