Merry Christmas to you all. We hope you have a wonderful festive season and best wishes for 2010.

Thank you for being such great readers and topikality beta testers. Your comments, feedback, emails and suggestions have all been appreciated over the last 12 months.

Over the next couple of weeks we are taking a bit of a break to recharge the batteries. Rest assured we will keep an eye on topikality to ensure everything keeps ticking over.

The topikality team will be back in the second week of January.
