#3 For those of you who are Christian, or who celebrate Christmas anyway, Merry Christmas to you! For those of you who aren't, have a lovely, quiet day going to the movies and eating Chinese.

#7 Thanks, TW. Merry New Year. Tried to find Tommy and the Greyhounds "Technicolor Christmas" for you and struck out. I can find references to it, but no lyrics. Anybody know the words?

I'd like protest this egregious and offensive hemisphericism.

Bloody hot Christmas here (Perth) today, over 40 degrees.

Merry Christmas everyone.

#23 Hyvaa joulua everyone . . . not that I could understand if you gave the appropriate response. :-)

According to this site, Arabic for Merry Christmas is a bit different than "Iraqi" for the same. I suppose that the "Iraqi" version, must be an accent or a dialect.

#26 And from the Ukraine, Khristos rodyvsya - slavite yoho!

A very merry Christmas to those who celebrate it, and warm wishes for our Rantburg friends who don't.

Mr. Lotp, the young person who shares our house right now and I are heading off to dinner with my siblings a state away. The van is loaded down with a couple day's worth of baking: 2 flavors of kipfil (apricot & lekvar), Russian nut cookies, 2 flavors of Hungarian style streudel (poppyseed & cherry), lemon-cinnamon cookies and some traditional Ukrainian foods for my sister who married out into a very traditional Italian family.

What with all the butter and cream cheese in those things, we'll all weigh a little more coming home than we are going out. ;-)

May your day be filled with peace and joy.

[And for the non-Christians (such as me) among us, enjoy a nice day off from work. ;-p]

#37 Wasn't anything like that under my Christmas tree... There WAS a smiling little boy opening presents, which is, in some ways, better. May you all have the kind of joy that only this day can bring, all year long.

#41 Merry xmass to all you Rantburgers

I have to admit Christmas music is far better than Hannukah music. However, this has a down side. Last week I was standing in line at an airport and a volunteer brass band was playing Christmas music. The instruments hadn't been tuned. Groan.

Anyway, may all your dreams come true.
