Nollaig Shona Agus Athbhliain Shona
If you don't speak Gaelic
it comes out as Mele Kalikiamaka, Houoli Makahiki Ho in Hawaiian. However you say it, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, y'all.

Yup, in Our house, it is ALWAYS said "Merry CHRISTMAS", not "happy holidays", 'cause if it weren't for Christ, we wouldn't be celebratin' it, we'd be celebratin' some solstice or sumpin'.
Just sayin'

Christianity: unknowingly keeping pagan customs alive for 2,000 years.
 Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a Joyful Yule to all.

I think Christian's know exactly what they're doing....
Bringing Christ to the center. Trying to reach the unreachable.

That reminds me of the old joke about tiptoeing past a certain door in heaven because the Christians think they're the only ones inhabiting the place.
Honey, let's not argue. I don't mind gentle jabs about celebrating the solstice as long as the jabbers keep a sense of humor about the idiosyncrasies of their own customs. At my house we say Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and/or Joyful Yule, depending who is receiving the greeting.

Merry Christmas to you too Jim -- and anyone else who wants to tag along for the Holiday ride!!
My girlfriend's Irish, but my Gaelic sucks -- so I appreciate you running it through Hawaiian...

Oh, We're not downin' anyone elses mode of celebration, or why they may, or may not, celebrate anything or nothing in particular, just sharing what We do, and why.
I served this republic for that very reason. So folks could choose freely what, and why, they wanted to celebrate, and do so without fear.

Like I said, I'm all for the traditional doof mocking of customs as long as it works both ways. It didn't there for a minute, someone got her back up over it, and it needed to be addressed before it got out of hand. That's all.
Please return to the regularly scheduled mocking.
