And all the hooey is under the tree, and it’s time to fill the stockings and head to bed. But I wanted to wish all of you PWers a very merry Christmas, or whatever you celebrate, if anything. God, whether you believe in Him or not, under whatever name you call Him, or not, bless you and your families, your friends, your loved ones, those you care for, and all with whom you come in contact. May you find love and prosper and be happy, and enrich all of those with whom you come into contact, whether they like it or not.
And may Life kick all of our asses, till we get a clue. Amen.
Merry Christmas Dan, and to the rest of you all as well!
That was very smarmy. Have a hollow Christmas, everyone.
No, it’s bad enough when your chocolate Easter bunnies are hollow so lets have one good solid day. God bless us everyone and all that.
Have a happy or solemn non-denominational winter holiday, everyone.
(Just kidding. Have a Merry Christmas and/or a Happy Hanukkah!)
May you get all the Whitman chocolates with caramel and nougat, and your enemies get stuck with the coconut and gooey cherry cordial ones.
I left a comment on a thread full of hateful atheists today. Today, of all days, eh?
Yeah, I know. I’m denounceable.
That said, any and all who read this have a Merry and a Happy, and if you like a Sleepy, Grumpy and a Bashful. NTTAWWT.
And to all a good night.
Merry and happy Christmas to all.
As you are Christian, rejoice in the anniversary of the Savior’s birth.
As you are other, hey, it’s an excuse for a party, so it’s all good, innit?
Regards,
Ric
Have a blessed Christmas, all.
Merry Christmas to all.
Right back at you Dan…
Serr8d, well said my friend; as for the atheists,at the very least they should understand the logic behind Pascal’s wager…
Ric, SBP, and all the other PWers,
Merry Christmas or Happy Chanukah to all! During this past year that I have been amongst you, all of you have touched my life in special ways, and I thank you for that. I hope and pray for the best for each and every one of you-even some of the more persnickety trolls…
Many Happy Returns to all,
May God’s blessing be upon each and every one of you and your loved ones too…
Merry Christmas to all those here who relish mocking the twits and dimwits who people the halls of power in America . Its their turn now. Let’s throw creampies at them, laugh at their impotence, mock their pretense and generally have a rockin’ good time. 2009 ought to be a barrel of monkeys.
Merriest of Christmases, Dan.
and have a wonderful day, PWer’s.
I just do not understand the Leftoid idiots who piss on the holiday as being “offensive” to them. Do they sneer at a friend’s birthday party? “Oh, it’s not about ME, so I’m SO offended by your celebration!” Do they not participate in family or friends’ weddings?
Why can’t we be happy to help celebrate other people’s joy and happiness?
Goodness is an abberation and I will celebrate it wherever I find it!
God Bless us Everyone.
Amen.
I celebrate a miracle this morn. So should you.
Or don’t. Let us not, however, be confused about that which is celebrated.
Those who believe in nothing celebrate nothing this morning. Fine.
Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good night.
Merry Christmas, good people. Everyone can agree on this – it’s a great day for pie.
Happy Holidays
Why can’t you wish people Merry Christmas, David?
It is Christmas, you know, even if you don’t personally celebrate it.
I mean, I say “Happy Eid!” to Muslim friends, even though I don’t share their faith.
SPB has a point David,
Many among us who are Christians salute folks of other faiths and entreaty them to enjoy their particular holiday whether it is celebrated in our religion or not. For us, wishing someone Happy Chanukah or Happy Eid is neither blasphemous, subservient, nor humiliating in any way…
Why do many on the other side of the coin seem to consider themselves put upon, or oppressed somehow, to return the courtesy..?
I fear that it has to do with making the personal, political. If we are inadvertantly humanized, even a bit, then perhaps the zealous and categorical hatred often displayed becomes a bit more difficult…
Even the secular humanists that eschew religion and are most often talking about tolerance and extending proper respect to all members of society should understand that civility makes working together a lot easier…
Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, or a Joyful Holiday whatever you choose to celebrate…
Best Wishes to you and yours
I think it was Darleen who posted something about celebrating Eid, Chanukah, St. Patrick’s Day, Bastille Day, Cinco de Mayo.. any excuse for a joyful celebration.
I can get behind that.
Have a Merry Christmas all. I’ll be popping in and out while putting dinner together.
Just made the pastry for a peach pie and put the crust in to bake.
Also put some beans in to soak so I can cook them tomorrow with the leftover ham.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Well, I was wishing everyone who read the thread of all religions, but to those who are made unhappy by that, Merry Christmas. I thank everyone who has wished me a Merry Christmas, here and elsewhere.
Although I happen to like cherry cordial candies, I thank the Sanity Inspector for the good wishes.
Merry Christmas to all, even the trolls. Make that especially the trolls. I hope happiness is contagious.
Mine is everything I could wish for, except for the middle daughter, granddaughter and son-in-law being far away. Well, we saw them last summer, and that will have to do for a while.
To all our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines, and to all the medical and law enforcement people working today, thank you.
Well, here it is Christmas morning and while Santa did bring me a few things, Obama Claus has been a no-show.
WHERE’S MY SOLID-GOLD HOVER-PONY!!!???
David: I’m not offended by those who use the generic “Happy Holidays” throughout the season. I just found it odd that you’d use it on Christmas Day itself.
MarkD: also to those who work on Christmas in jobs that aren’t as high profile, such as cab drivers and convenience store clerks.
Whether we are Christians or not, it’s always good to remember the humble beginnings of Jesus.
A Merry and Joyous Christmas to all! I look forward to PW’s posts in 2009 and the efforts of Jeff, Dan, Darleen and other contributors. For me that is a gift that lasts all year. And, most certainly, to the insightful and humorous comments of you all! (Well, most of them anyway.)
Merry Christmas! I love Christmas because people like the Iranian chick who’s also Muslim at the office celebrate Christmas, too, because, she says, “It’s so family!”
“Almost”? A sorry excuse for an Irishman you are!
Merry, Merry [hic] Happy, Happy [hic]!
