I know I have already said this to some of you, but it bears repeating. I'd just like to thank everyone who attended the Thanksgiving Dinner; you made it a very special occasion. Even those of you whose manners were less than polite. For those of you who were unable to make it, I hope you enjoy the next group event, whatever it may be.

A few people have asked me if I'm planning anything for Christmas - as that is a more widespread holiday, I imagine it is less necessary for me to organise a public event. However I will be spending Christmas Eve with family and friends, and I sincerely hope that all of you will be, too.

I'd just like to take this time to speak about the renewal of the seasons. Mr. Drake has already addressed this issue - with accompanying pictures - however I agree that the normal cycle of seasons is important for the health and mental well-being of a society. I hope that this coming election, summer and winter shall be restored; and if so, I would take that as a demonstration of the government listening to the people whose lives they have interrupted. It may seem a small thing, but often it only takes a few pebbles falling to start a landslide.

I agree. I enjoyed your company, Mister Petrelli. It certainly brought a lot of people together, and that, in itself, is an accomplishment.

I was pondering the idea of raising a Christmas tree as a communal event. Not anything that would require anyone to leave their families or friends on such an important date, but to further bring people together in our small community.

It was lovely, thank you.

You're always welcome, Miss Fachiri.

You write your own speeches?

[ex_whoosh450]

There's not really a big circle of people to do it for me at the moment.

It was more general curiosity and less vitriol, Mr. Petrelli.

I know; but I was telling the truth. I have to write my own speeches, if I want to make speeches. It's like going back to the beginning, when my CO was my mother.

They're damn good speeches, for what it's worth.

Thanks. Drink?

Always.
