Ah, this is the thread where the following is allowed? _clears throat_ Güi güis yu a Merry Krismas, güi güis yu a Merry Krismas, güi güis yu a Merry Krismas, ¡annajapi Niu Yiiiir! [/Spanish phonics] May y’all have a better 2011 than 2010; may those seeking jobs or relationships find good ones, those who have them keep them in happiness and good health, those with children see them grow well. OK, who’s next for either the butchering of songs or actual singing? ---

Merry Christmas, everyone! And, as the OP says, even if you’re not Christian, it’s a great excuse to do such things as eat Christmas cookies for breakfast, drink some eggnog (preferably spiked), sleep in, hang out with people you like, etc. etc. etc. 🙂 ---

Okay, NOW you can start playing Christmas music. 🙂 I have a lot of work to do around here today (and should probably get at it soon), but then it’s party time for the next three days. Merry Christmas, everyone! ---

If you’re not Christian, you can still celebrate the Solstice! Most of the Christmas memes (other than nativity scenes) are based on old-time Solstice observances. ---
