Today is Christmas, and hopefully, most of you are busy enough to not read this until Sunday or Monday. This is a time of year where we try to enjoy life and have fun with friends and family. We can enjoy life together, something that has been lacking quite a bit during the pandemic.

If you know of someone alone, please invite them over. If you are alone, make an effort to get time with others. One of the amazing and powerful things that I've discovered over the last 20 years with the PASS Summit and SQL Saturdays is how much better life is when we can be together. I hope we get some opportunities in 2022, some virtually, but others in person.

My best wishes to you all for a holiday season and a Happy New Year.
