I just wanted to say Happy Holidays to all of the faithful P&Ners!

May the festive yule season brighten what was sure to have been an interesting year for all, and may the Wild Hunt bring great bounty to you and your family!

Now is the time when we gather to celebrate the end of bounty, and the beginning of the new! How will you be banishing the frost spirits?

This is my favorite festival of the year, I can say that. I shall toast to Odin, thank him for our bounty, and greet the birth of the new Sun.

How do you celebrate the yule season? Does your family have similar, or perhaps unique traditions?

Im offended by your statement. You must retract it and promise to never use that phrase again.

Happy holidays, may the season bring you peace and joy. Along with the upcoming new year. 2013 sucked especially hard and I will not miss it one bit.

Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanza, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Happy Cthulhu Day, Happy Winter Solstice.

Happy Holidays to those who do not celebrate any of the above.

I'm looking forward to being high as a kite off opiates on New Year's Eve.




Arthroscopic surgery on my right shoulder (torn rotator cuff, full thickmess tear) at 7:30AM CST.

I had shoulder surgery a few years ago, and I can tell you it is a BITCH to recover from. We don't see eye to eye politically or socially, but I wish you a good recovery. I had to 'sleep' in a chair for 4 days when I got home, not allowed to lay flat. And by 'sleep' I mean get to the point of pseudo-consciousness where you're not asleep, but not awake either.
And stock up on some anti-constipation meds.

Thanks. I already have the down low from my doctor, he let me know everything straight up. I'm lucky if I get 4 to 5 hours of sleep a night now and not in one chuck either. Luckily I still had a refill on Tramadol that I could use to ease the pain until I get operated on.

It's that time of year again; time to take up arms and defend our traditions as an ever-vigilant footsoldier in the war on Christmas.

Happy holidays!

And to all my fellow atheists I say please have a joyous late-December gift-giving secular holiday.

There is no need to thread crap in what is the extremely rare non-partisan, non-offensive P&N thread.

If this was a non-offensive thread, i wouldn't thread crap it, but this thread upsets me. My feelings have been hurt. I mean, how DARE someone think differently than me and express it in public where children can see it. What if little timmy thinks it's okay to wish someone a Merry Christmas for fscks sake!!! Anarchy and Chaos!! Blood in the streets!!

Fixed.

In my opinion, such gratuitous, unprovoked asshattery in a thread like this should be grounds for an immediate vacation. If you are truly so incapable of playing well with others, you deserve a time-out.


I hope all of you and your families have a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, whatever you may celebrate.
