How the grinch stole my heart: Happy holidays

By: Nick Mehta | Posted: 2009-12-24

I am the biggest sucker for the holidays you'll ever meet.  I love everything about the season - from cheesy holiday songs to sappy holiday movies to the love that we see all around us.  Not to mention lots of football!

In that spirit, I would like to thank all of the members of our LiveOffice "family" that have supported us this year:

• Most importantly, thank you to our clients, who partner with us, give us their trust and help us to evolve.
• Thank you too to our partners across the world who helped us to grow so much this year.
• Thank you to our vendors and suppliers who allow us to deliver and improve our services for our clients.
• Thank you to our investors and board members, whose advice has helped us thrive this year, despite the global challenges.
• Thank you to our employees, whose dedication and passion is inspirational to me.
• Finally, thank you to all of the families of our LiveOffice family, without whose support none of this would be possible.

And as a true holiday sap, I am excited to have my daughter finally at the age (3 1/2 now and nicknamed "The Chief") where she can enjoy some of the holidays traditions with me.

In particular, we started watching all of my favorite holiday movies together, including A Charlie Brown Christmas and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

It seems The Chief has fallen in love with the Grinch, going from running out the room the first time he came on the screen to now wanting to watch it literally every day.  As I told my friend, I love watching The Grinch once a year but at viewing number 15, it gets a little repetitive.

That being said, my wife astutely observed that The Grinch probably captures the essence of what is amazing about the holidays better than any other movie or song.

"Welcome, Christmas, bring your cheer.

Cheer to all Whos far and near.

Christmas Day is in our grasp so long as we have hands to clasp.

Christmas Day will always be just as long as we have we.

Welcome Christmas while we stand.

Heart to heart and hand in hand."

Well said, Dr. Seuss.

Happy holidays to you and your loved ones!
