What about Quanza? And Festivis for the rest of us. Now go get the pole.

Hopefully YOU will disappear? HA!

Thanks, Yiangos. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Dup, I sincerely hope you get everything you deserve for Christmas.

BAH! HUMBUG!

One of my best friends since we were 10, calls me every Xmas to say bah humbug and then hangs up. it truly warms the cockles of my heart :-)
Even cynicism can have it's soft side, so merrry xmas and BH to all,
especially DUP whose Xmas posts sould be treated respectfully , printed out and hung on the tree (or menorah or whatever)

My fav Christmas movie is The Christmas Carole with George C. Scott. To me it is the best. It is a great reminder...
If Charles Dickens were alive today would it be another name he would be writing about and not Scrooge? We all may know of someone and I am not talking about another forum member either. Someone you have known or worked for?

I have much to be thankful for and good audio and great music has played a part. Some great holiday music has been written.

Merry Christmas to all who observe.

For some reason, it doesn't feel like Christmas or Hanukkah season to me right now. I'm amazed it's mid-December already. Maybe I'm too caught up in stuff or distracted... but, Seasonal Felicitations to all, nonetheless.

Jeff,

I know exactly how you feel. Work the last month and a half has been awful. My daughter and her two girls are coming this week to Atl from CT. Grandma seeing two of her grandchildren will surely help. Kids and Christmas is a great combo.

Eagerly awaiting 2007.

Thanks for the good wishes and a very Merry Christmas to you, Yiangos - and to everyone else here. Hook your iPod to that extra input and let the Christmas music be heard while you raise a cup of good cheer.

Mele Kalikimaka to all. Oh how I long for the Aloha spirit...and weather.

Wishing all y'all the best of whichever version of the original winter solstice that you celebrate!

At our house, the holiday we celebrate is Christmas...so Merry Christmas!

In about 10 minutes, we are leaving for a trip on the Polar Express with the kids, then up into northwestern Zion for Christmas in the mountains.

See you next Monday or Tuesday.

Wishing you all the best.

Best wishes to all for a great Christmas and new year. Hope the future holds nice things.

Best wishes to you all!

Thanks to everyone for the plethora of info and advice you have given me. A priceless Christmas gift.
