Sunday Roundup

Merry Christmas, HuffPosters! We have a special gift for you tucked under our Featured Blog Posts tree: a line-up of holiday-inspired offerings. As for me, I'm spending this grace-filled day with my daughters, my sister, and my ex-husband (see our Divorce section for advice on co-parenting during the holidays!). And I am spending much more time today on our Impact section, celebrating those committed to making things better, than on our Politics section, fuming over those whose endless partisan bickering is making things worse. Among the blessings I'm most grateful for today is our HuffPost community -- our team, our bloggers, our commenters, and all of our readers -- which has been an incredible gift. Not a return or re-gift in the bunch!

I'm proud to be a member of the Huffington Post community. Although I say some stupid things sometimes, once in a while I get it. Thanks for giving me the forum and being forgiving.

Arianna, you have been a role model and an inspiration to me for years. I can't thank you enough for all the opportunities you have enabled me to have. I am grateful to your team who has encouraged me to write for you and the Huffington Post. I feel I am able to help people through my writing. I am especially thankful to Nora Ephron who asked me to write for the Huffington Post and I am grateful to Sara Wilson for always believing in my work. You are a powerful inspiration for women everywhere! A million Thank you's!

Merry Christmas to you, Arianna! It's my wish that you find 2012 to be filled with grace too. I'm hoping that 2011 was the doldrums and in 2012 we get the wind to fill the sails back so the ship of America can have some smooth sailing.

Words may effect the tolerance that leads to respect and promotes peace. You have graced us with an opportunity and your impact Arianna, thank you.

Dear Arianna,
Thank you for having a heart, being a respected female in a respected position and providing pub/coffee house online where many of us, though physically isolated. find many friends that enlighten and commiserate.
In sometimes unbearable times, HP makes things bearable.

Thank you, Arianna for creating this forum. I caught you on CSpan the other night and like what you said about the media being obsessed with unimportant things like sex scandals (Cain). If only we could concentrate all year round on what is important in life: supporting others and not just at Christmas time. I feel blessed to be a part of the Huffington blogging family.

Dear Santa - I hope you brought Arianna Huffington all of the joy and happiness you could along with whatever presents found their way under her tree. For myself I can only add this - Ms. Huffington - thank you for making a Place for us all to Meet and Discuss the most important issues that face America and the world today in a civil manner that is unparalleled - Merry Christmas!

Happy to read that you had a grace-filled day, Arianna. Grace-filled is a word too seldom used, in my view.

Best to you Arianna, and to all HuffPo contributers and bloggers.
