Seasonal cheer

Post by PapersAndPaychecks »

Merry Christmas, Joyous Yule, Happy Holidays, or (insert your preferred choice of culturally-appropriate, religiously-tolerant and socially-inclusive greeting here)!

I'm looking forward to my 4,000-calorie food-a-thon followed by copious quantities of alcohol, and I'll raise a glass in your direction at some point on the day. ;)

Merry Christmas!

Let it rain drink and snow food, as someone once said...
[i]It is a joyful thing indeed to hold intimate converse with a man after one’s own heart, chatting without reserve about things of interest or the fleeting topics of the world; but such, alas, are few and far between.[/i]

Ok, P&P... you asked for it!

As I sit, listening to Jethro Tull's Songs from the Wood, a most seasonally-appropriate album, I can only say...


To All My Democrat Friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.
I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great.
Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere .
Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, or sexual preference of the wishee.

To All My Republican and Independent Friends: MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Happy New Year!



A festive Winter Solstice/Yule to you all, and may the All-Father lend his favor to your endeavours this next turning of the seasons.
“A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value.”

My mistake!

On K&KA, there's always at least two. ;)

Merry Christmas even if you are a US republican pro-life firearms enthusiast in global-warming-denial.

P&P, what if you're a US monarchist pro-life sword enthusiast who doesn't care about global warming one way or the other?
