Mr. Teske the Fire-Starter said:
In any case (and not to start off a huge,
non-GZG thread...), happy holidays to all...
both those in the future and those that I've missed already!

[Tomb] Okay Aaron, what grade of happy-
weed were you on? This kind of thing breeds like a contagious.

Look, now I've caught it and the next thing you know I'll be wishing all the
Listers a Happy Holidays, Merry Xmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Ramadan, Dieg
Moroz and Snobim Godom (transliteration is rough), Nollig Creyell, Joyeuse
Noel, and a Happy Festivus.

And I'm sure it will spread from there.

But for once, given the warm feelings and best regards being distributed, I
won't hold it against you...;)

Hope to see many of you in the new year at ECC! Stay healthy, have a lot of
holiday fun, and keep those dice rollin'!

In my favorite languages, the traditional greetings run:

Arabic: Al-Maseehu wulida famajjedouh!
Greek: Christos Gennatai! Serbian: Hristos se rodi! Slavonic: Christos
Razdajetsja!

For those of you celebrating other observances at this season, may you enjoy
whatever it is you are doing.

You forgot Kwanzaa and Boxing Day - how could you forget
Boxing Day?? Oh, and Winter Solstice. I was also going to add "Bah, humbug!",
but The Beast already caught it.

Or, indeed, Beethoven's birthday... oh, wait, that was 3 days ago, wasn't it?

Not to mention Saturnalia! Oh, and Tom, how come you didn't wish folk a Happy
Hogmanay? *grin*

Happy holidays, to all!

Or the 99th anniversary of powered flight! That was the 17th, though. (Wilbur
and Orville first did their thing Dec 17, 1903.)

Happy Holidays, whatever you think is worth celebrating, and a hearty Ba
Humbug too!
