Wishing you and yours the best of the season, no matter how you celebrate. I'm glad to know you, whether we've met, will meet, or never know each other beyond here.

I don't know half of you as well as I should like, and like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
God bless us, every one, and may you experience your own Christmas magic.

Yay. Happy holidays. Glad I stumbled onto this site a year and a half ago.

Merry/happy/glorious ______. May the season be marked by less consumption and more thankfulness.

May you be blessed
With the spirit of the season, which is peace,
The gladness of the season, which is hope
And the heart of the season, which is love.
May you never forget what is worth remembering
Or remember what is best forgotten.

George Costanza's character really cracked me up, he was so funny. I saw a movie recently, from 2009, where he was in it with Richard Gere, called Hachi: A Dog's Tale. "George" wasn't george at all, it was a serious role, and the movie a tear jerker if you like dogs. Jason Alexander is very talented.

I prefer 'humbug', and Scrooge is with
me on this. Humbug means a fraud,
a fake. In the Wizard of Oz book,
Scarecrow frequently refers to the
Wizard as 'a humbug'. Scrooge,
by saying bah humbug is implying that
Christmas is a fraud. Which of course it
is in every sense. We know for a fact that
Jesus was not born in Bethlehem, and
there's a 90% chance he was born in the
spring during the Pagan celebration of
the winter solstice. But we celebrate anyway.
Why are people always against the commercialization
of Christmas. When I was a kid that's all I knew of
Christmas was Santa and presents. Without
commercialization there would have been no
Christmas. I knew about the religious aspects,
but I always thought it was a fairytale, like the
Easter Bunny or Paul Bunyan. I didn't know people
actually thought it was true.

Maybe, don't turn your clocks back in the fall? Or, ask yourself the reason that this matters to you so much. Something wrong, somewhere.Quote: DocYes!

All the more reason to get outside during the daytime.

Just another example of how certain people are right about Global Warming.
We had a trace of snow in Tampa today just 30 years ago.
Today it’s 80.
At this rate, the world only has a few years left, if that.
Smart people are selling everything and living for today.
Like certain people say, it’s too late.

All I know is a white Christmas consisting of white sand beaches and sunshine over snow sounds like an improvement and something I'd like to try someday regardless of what's going on with the climate.

Global Warming is on Christmas vacation out here. The Grapevine to Los Angeles and Hwy 58 to Vegas are completely shut down due to heavy snow from last night.

Merry Christmas and Happy Channukah all.
Currently, global warming is (and has been for the past couple years) about 28% due to a very slight aberation in the Earth's orbit about the sun, and most of the other 72% is due to deforestation and fossil fuels.
As the Earth's orbit swings back the other way the 28% will be come 0% and then - 28%. So there is a natural oscillatory component.
