Merry Christmas Everybody!

I don't know if I'll have internet for the next 10 days so I just wanted to wish you all a merry Xmas in advance.

Thank you xSP and Happy Hannikah and  Felice Navidad, to you and all our esteemed HAFers. All you other linguists, please fill in the holiday greetings with other languages.  Git you are on deck with Gaelic or whatever, Bruno, Tom, G85, Asmo, Viojit, Anatoli.................and all. 

( HTF do you spell Hah- ni-kuh if you are insufficiently Jewish?.... and maybe I did not get the Spanish one right either...... where is Lewis Black and Mags when I need them?  My intentions are good in any case )

You almost got them right, Icarus.  They're spelled Feliz Navidad and Hanukkah.

Bruno already compiled a list here, if you're interested.

Happy Festivus!

Tom please translate to English equivalent. There are a lot of words there to express the seasonal greeting.

[Asmodean]

It also includes a new year greeting.

Happy solstice! Tomorrow will have a tiny bit more daylight than today in the northern hemisphere.

A weekly columnist in my newspaper is an army chaplain. He is a pretty tolerable writer. Today he told us that many Christmas carols are misguided, like the three kings thing, the no room at the inn bit, the shepherds tending their flock and a few more improbabilities., .. He also told us that the birth of JC was not likely to have been in December. More likely in summer or fall. His reasoning was powerful.  So when I see those damned yard signs that say; "Jesus is the reason for the season". I am slightly annoyed. Dammit the winter solstice is the reason for the season.

Never mind the historicity. I wish everyone here a happy, healthy, prosperous, holiday season.

This is the only thing that annoys me more than Bible thumping Christians --- people who don't even know about their own religion.
