Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and very Happy New Year.

2025 has been another successful year. The community is coming to grips with Microsoft discontinuing support for Microsoft Dynamics GP but also working on initiatives such as the “Knights of GP” (a co-operative of customers, consultants, ISVs and partners who are planning to maintain GP after Microsoft).

At Winthrop Development Consultants, we spent many hours in development of our products including the GP Power Tools Build 32 release, which included many new features and enhancements across all the modules.

I am already working on new features for a Build 33 release with great ideas coming from the users of my products and the GP community in general. But now it is time to take some time off work to relax with my friends and family.

Back in my 2022 Christmas post from I highlighted the Aussie Jingle Bells song, which is a Christmas song, but with references to the Summer Sun and Heat rather than Winter Snow and Cold. Well, that song has now turned 30 years old. Here is a news video article about the history of the song and the video of the song for you to enjoy.

The office will be closed from now until the second week of the new year, but we will keep an eye on things if there are any emergencies.

See you in the New Year.

Thanks for your support.
