Hanukkah is now well under way, and Christmas is only one week away... Winter holidays are coming and many people in a lot of countries have already started to shop for Christmas gifts and to think about how they can greet the New Year of 2008.

I think that celebrations of Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year can unite all people in World, from different countries - all of us want to be with our friends, families, relatives. We want happiness and peace. We want stability now and in future. We wish our relatives strong health and pray to God for them. We are happy to watch how our lovely kids grow and prepare them for a great future! Do you agree with me? If yes, lets drink to that during our celebrations of Hanukkah, Christmas and the New 2008 Year!!!

This news is with my personal greetings for the current and upcoming winter holidays, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year of 2008, I would like to dedicate to all my friends in many countries:

- Happy Hanukkah!
- Merry Christmas!
- Happy New 2008 Year!
- Strong Health and Happiness to you and your family!
- Spend a great time during your Winter Vacation!

I took this picture on the famous pedestrian street of Moscow, Old Arbat, walking up and down the street with my clients Millie Ball and Keith Marshall on October 28th 2007 and when I got this picture, I immediately decided that I have to post it with the current greetings.

Hello Arthur, I have been wondering about you lately, and it is so good to 'see' you here again. Looks like you have had a busy summer with tourists. I have just looked up your web pages and it's an excellent site. And I read that you have : "Dennis the Menace blond hair and blue eyes!" That's a good description from Millie Ball. She has commended you and your services excellently.

I like this Christmas image here. You show Vladimir Kozlov really well - I will repeat what Millie Ball says about him:
"You have to buy something from him (prices begin at 150 rubles - about $6) to take a photo of him. And then he's as adorable as his picture.

Well done and all the best for the Christmas season to you and your family.
Janice

Happy Holidays Arthur !

Great to see you back after a while off-line !

He looks like Santa himself (^_^). I love his expression. Moment well seized and immortalized.

A strange coincidence , he looks a lot like the gentleman on the cover of the magazine on the wall behind him.

Cheers!
Robert
