Dear Readers, I have to admit that I don’t know all of the holidays celebrated around the world during this time of year. My family and I once lived in Okinawa, Japan for several years, so I know that there’s soon going to be a fabulous New Year’s celebration there. And, my world studies touched on a British holiday called Boxing Day and the Feast of Stephen. But, I know even less of other global holidays.
Here in the melting pot of the US, there are a variety of traditions. My husband and I celebrate Christmas. We’ve draped a handsome Frasier fir with our memories and dozens of twinkling lights. Our halls are decked with poinsettias, red velvet bows and a bit of fake mistletoe. On Christmas morning, there'll be cookies and hot coffee, calls from our children and grandkids and a handful of gifts and cards. We’ll end the day with a turkey dinner served by candle light.
It has been a joy spending this year as your editor. I hope your holiday season is filled with joy and peace.

Why are my control limits so narrow? »
Brenda Ramirez, co-author of Stat Insights, discusses using the Xbar chart when comparing data where there are multiple sources of variation. In her example, she adjusts the control limits to incorporate the batch-to-batch variation of raw materials, oven temperatures and shift changes to make the data more valuable.
