      Loved the mailbag. Interesting questions and great answerrs. There is something new to learn from every mailbag. This was no different, and I did learn something.
      
      Snow hardly falls in our part of the world. But I had enjoyed snowfall when I had been to Germany and the US for higher education.
      
      Happy Monday, Bill and Merry Christmas. Hope you have a joyful season.
      
      Thanks to Misbah for sharing Bill's post and Season's Greetings to you.

   Great Mailbag, Bill.  So far we’ve had a mere 2 inches of snow, which disappeared quickly.  No white Christmas for us either.  It’s actually been rather nice here so far for December.  I’m sure our snow will fall, but not looking like until 2022.  A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you.

   Mother nature surely is keeping us guessing this year.
   
   By now we are usually battling the snow but this year there has been nothing but a few flurries.  Maybe a light coating.
   
   So far the forecast for Christmas day is 53 degrees...
   This will be one for the record books.
   
   There is alot to be said for a Writer's mindset. 
   It really helps us to move forward when we know we have what it takes.
   
   I'm hoping to get into freelancing one day but I hope I don't bid myself too low.
   
   I do wish you had that magic pill so we could gain success magically.
   Goodluck and best wishes to Star.
   
   Christmas is almost here & I've yet to go to the store.
   I enjoy it & dread it. 
   
   I love those buys but I hate those crowds.
   
   Lord knows...I'm gonna be in the thick of it this late.
   
   I'm sending you & Bev wishes for a perfect day.  I'll be watching football that day at 3 pm...
   
   Have fun.

      Merry Christmas, Brenda! What shopping I have to do is done online. I no longer have any desire to fight the crowds. Just let Amazon bring it to me, thank you very much.  Change of plans: now they say we have a chance for a White Christmas.

   This is another excellent Mailbag, Bill. I enjoyed reading the variety of questions today. I always learn something new from you.
   I guess there is not white Christmas for you, and we never have a white Christmas in north FL. However, I hope you and Bev have a wonderful Christmas.

      Thank  you Pamela! I spoke too soon; they now say we have a chance of snow on the 25th.  It would be very cool and unusual for it to happen, but normally we don't even have a chance of it.  Merry Christmas my friend.

   We rarely have snow in Houston, but when we lived in Wisconsin many years ago, we could always count on seeing snow by Thanksgiving. The climate seems to be changing in many places these days.  We have been meeting or exceeding high temps in Houston for December.  Mid-80s!  Merry Christmas to you and everyone who celebrates it who might be reading this.

      Merry Christmas to you, Peggy!  The climate is certainly keeping us guessing these days. I wonder what it will be like in 20 years at this rate.

   Thank you for sharing this Misbah.
   Bill, I love the questions this week…many relating to freelancing, and you gave invaluable answers. I see so many wannabe freelancers asking questions on Quora how to succeed, and they have no patience. They have been freelancing for two weeks and are devastated because they aren’t making any sales.
   As for the question about closing you HubPages account that is as easy as going to your profile, clicking “edit profile” and the “close account” button is right there.
   Wishing you and Bev a great Christmas, even if it isn’t a white one.

      There we go! John has the definitive answer about closing the HP account.  It never came up for me for ten years now; I doubt I'll be here that much longer, so maybe I better start considering it.
      
      Anyway, Merry Christmas to you and thanks for your friendship.

   Happy Monday Bill and a merry Christmas to you and Bev. This was a very informative mailbag. Interesting questions and answers. Guess it's tough for freelancers to earn with so much competition around. It takes lot of practice and patience. Have a great week ahead. Thanks Misbah for sharing.

      It is always good to hear from you, Vidya. Thank you! Just so you know, I do read your articles when they come out. I don't always see the corresponding forum for comments, but I am with you in spirit.
      
      Merry Christmas to you, if you do celebrate it, my friend, and blessings to you always.
