It's been a great year.

As the success of Enduring America became the promise of EA WorldView, we added new specialist sections and continued to sharpen our reputation for cutting-edge coverage of world events.

EA, with an all-volunteer staff, still relies on income from our advertising partners and donations from our readers to keep us growing. Last year we asked you to buy us a coffee, but this year we've hung a Christmas stocking on the mantelpiece. We have big ambitions for the site in 2011, and we're hoping a few surprises in the stocking will make this possible.

If you would like to donate- any amount, big or small --- you can do so via PayPal on our Donations page. If you can't use PayPal, drop us a line and we can let you know how you can still reach that stocking.

Wishing all our readers a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and the best of New Years!
