Commissioner Blair:
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
You would make mine happier if you would use "me" instead of "I" below. Dr.Earl Lennard provides sufficient grammar-punctuation errors for those in public life in the Bay Area. Don't supplement his efforts.
You must use the objective case of a pronoun that acts object of the preposition "for" in your message below or forfeit your place in grammar heaven. You can trust me as memberof Grammar Seraphim of Paradise to assure you that anybody who abuses pronoun case at Yuletide will not get into Grammar Heaven but will go straight to Grammar Hell.
Joyeux Noël à notre cher commissaire,
lee drury de cesare

Dear Friends,
Thank you for allowing my family and I me to be just a fragment of your life. If one of you who I/we know, were not part of our lives, it would not have been the will of our Creator. Please reflect upon the true meaning of the season.
Warmest Regards and our Best Wishes for the New Year,
Brian, Toni, Brett and Bradley

Good eye: You are hired as my editor. I should have said I was one of the seraphim or seraphs. But I am warming to the idea of being plural. Plural means I get at least six wings since one seraph has three, I believe. Six wings are better than three. I pick being plural for the wing span.
