Season's Greetings and book 7

[fhmaneely]

Merry Chritmas and Happy Holidays to all!
To everyone complaining about wet weather, please cast a spell and 
send it to Florida. We are in desperate need of the wet stuff. While 
you are at it, send a bit of chill this way as well. We are having 
unseasonably warm weather here in North Florida and suspect it is 
giving folks the blahs. I had a Christmas spirit till this afternoon. 
My young dog had to have hip surgery, and the vet found during the 
surgery that he has some sort of genetic bone disease, so the 
procedure was a bit tricky. The poor little guy has had a tough life. 
I adopted him from our local Animal Control, and we have fought a 
parvo-like virus, upper respiratory infection and mange. But we got 
through all this, and he had been doing quite well till recently. If 
anyone reads my meager post, I do hope you will say a prayer for him. 
This is the season of perpetual hope, right?

Book 7 title.....isn't this a repeat of Christmas 2004. JKR released 
the book title for book 6 or was it that it would be released the 
following year.  First thing I did when I heard the news was to check 
the boards here and tol as I knew there would be many theories 
running amouk. I was not disappointed!  I like the ideas that the 
title could be a reference to the veil or Halloween in Godric's 
Hollow. Then again these theories are too easy.  I never had a clue 
that Snape would be the HBP. 

I expect all you out there with your wonderful literary minds, to 
come up with some good stuff. Although I rarely post, I do keep up 
with most of what has been posted. 

I raise my eggnog (homemade with bandy and bourbon, and toast you 
all!!

Cheers,
Fran
