Have a good holiday, MeFi. I'd advise at least one seriously drunken night of fun, maybe that'll lighten things up here in the new year.
At least that's what I'm wishing for for BuyStuffDay this year.

No sarge - not terminal alcoholism - that implies that the end is near! Perpetual alcoholism! (The fun never ends!) At least that's how my family sees it....Merry X-Mas!

I would like to formally offer holiday cheer to Miguel Cardosa, y2karl, quonsar, and anyone else I may have hassled beyond what was called for in 2004.
And to the rest of you, Merry ho-ho's.

Happy non-denominational perhaps religious but not necessarily Christ-related and quite possibly completely secular holiday greetings to all!

dude. it's only, like, the 23rd.
Oh, don't get all arithmetical on us! Besides, by the 25th some people here (naming no names) are clearly going to be so sozzled they will barely be able to focus on the page if they're not passed out entirely, so we might as well do it now while we can.
Merry Christmas, sarge, and to all a celebration of their choice!

Io Saturnalia! Merry Christmas! Good Yule!
Hope everyone who was enjoying Hanukkah a couple of weeks ago had a good one! Same for Eid al-Fitr! If you celebrated Diwali last month, hope it was a great one!
Enjoy the Winter or Summer Solstice, whichever it happens to be in your hemisphere! Remember, soon it will be spring, or fall!
Seriously, best wishes to everyone for what's left of 2004, and I hope that 2005 will be better and brighter for all of us.
(And the same goes for whatever year it is by your cultural, religious, or liturgical calendar, wherever you are in it. "Better future" is what I'm wishing you.)

Don't drive nasty in last-minute shopping traffic, don't cut in front of people in the store checkout lines, don't get all drunken-rude at your celebrations, don't ignore anyone who needs a hand (or a handout) ...
...and forgive and immediately forget anyone who does these things!
(I hope you all have some gatherings with friends or loved ones during this time of year.)

Hey, we celebrated Hanukkah here in the Casa Sidhedevil, and it was a party. We actually have the coolest menorah, made by this woman--it's Jonah in the whale, which she doesn't seem to make anymore.

Although it occurred to me that I forget to wish people a happy belated St. Lucia's Day, and to hope they get all the special treats they want on the Day of the Three Kings. And I believe it will be Japanese New Year soon.

It sure isn't my holiday, but I'll admit that I'm enjoying being with my family.

And just for you, Sarge: Saw Jonathan Richman two nights in a row two weeks ago and found I could talk to the dude and on the second night even got him to agree to trade a Happy Birthday on my girlfriend's voice mail for a doo wop box set and he done did it the next day. Great concerts and what a guy. Best of the season to ya!
