Merry Christmas and Happy New year
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Vegas!
It’s ok to say Merry Christmas. First, Hanukkuh has already passed. Second, anyone who has a problem with Christmas because it’s not their religion is looking for a reason to get upset and should get a life.

Other holidays haven't. I would say that your last sentence applies more to anyone that has to make a point about not saying Happy Holidays.
Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Holidays as well. I hope everyone get's to spend time with the one's they love. And if you don't I hope it happens in the very near future.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all our HSBBWeb posters, readers and administrators! Enjoy your time off with friends and family, and extended relatives. This is the first year in a long time where I've actually got all my Christmas shopping done before Christmas eve day.
For those of you with a sense of humor, I wish you a Happy Festivus. We'll start with the airing of grievances and then the feats of strength. ;-)
Merry Christmas to all and may the good Lord bless you...and remember that since December 21, we have been getting more daylight ever so slowly as we wind toward Baseball Season!
59 days till the first baseball game of 2019!
Merry Christmas all!

Christmas is the second half of the doubleheader. With Hanukkah so early this year it’s like a day, night DH’er. I did all my shopping at the Amazon Mall. I had everything delivered to my daughter’s house. Out of fear of delayed delivery as the month wore on everything was done the first week of the month.

I'll get the aluminum pole out of the crawl space.
I find tinsel very distracting.
Grievance: Seattle Mariners
Feast of strength: Jambalaya, roast turkey, prime rib, and chocolate milk.
Oh.......that was FEAT of strength..... never mind.
Happy Holidays, everyone!

We set a strict "leave time" several weeks in advance 
We actually enjoy it quite a bit but want to keep it that way.
We are having a wonderful but interesting family holiday vacation. Every afternoon, several guests show up, come into our open-air living room uninvited, make a racket, grab any unprotected food and drinks, fondle or steal various personal items, jump in the pool, run around, climb all over everything, and generally make a nuisance of themselves until they get bored with us or we ask them to leave. At least they are cute.
Merry Christmas to all.
I hope all had a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. May the New Year bring you a bounty of Blessings.
A friend’s son had an unusual Christmas. He spent eleven hours in a SWAT standoff with bullets flying. In the end the guy agreed to come out if the officers would sing Merry Christmas to him.

RJM, hopefully, your friend's son wasn't "the guy"

He was part of the team. Cold, tired and hungry on a (northeast) winter night with bullets flying is not where you want to be. After all that the kid had a sense of humor. He said he would have done the Macarena for the guy if it meant getting it over.
That they sang Merry Christmas to the guy did not go in the police report. I can imagine the kidding at the station ... Freeze! Or I’ll sing Merry Christmas.
Add: Geez! I’m referring to guys in their 30’s as kids. I have a 30yo (oldest) kid.
