Season's Greetings!

[Britwitch]

I wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and happy, peaceful holidays to those who won't be joining in the festivities.

I would hope that 2016 is kind to each of us and dearly hope that all those I call friends in these parts are blessed with happy, joyful times ahead.


With much love
Brit

Happy Holidays, folks.

 

[Anonymaso]

OK... here goes.

Wishing people a happy winter solstice. Oh, sorry, not the true spirit of xmas? The season of goodwill to all men ('cept Muslims & refugees whose nations we helped destroy). If you believe Christianity to be a peaceful faith, you do not know your history. What do you think the crusades actually were? A few hundred years ago us Brits WERE Isis/Daesh - and the yanks aren't exactly blameless either - we just didn't have AK47s or C4. We inflicted misery the world over and still the planet is imploding over who has the best imaginary friend. Save everyone this festive season; go atheist and take responsibility for your own moral code. Don't base your whole damn life on a middle-eastern fairy tale that happened to coincide with the beginning of global migration.

Um, sorry Britwich. Just find the festive season superlatively hypocritical and selective.

Holidays suck.

But I'm not bitter.

At least the food is good.

Three or four days since the winter solstice, and the light is visibly starting to return at last.

At this time of year, I'm deeply thankful that my husband is in no fit state for long journeys; it means that I have a cast iron reason to avoid being holed up with relatives (on either side) while public transport shuts down for two days and is chaotic for an extra few.

Peace at your hearth, friends at your back, enough on the table, and only pleasant surprises at the door. *raises glass*

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope that the holiday season is treating you as well as it is me~

I truly miss hanging around the forums and pretending to be a writer. Someday, perhaps, I will have the time to do so again. For now I will simply keep busy being a mommy! ...And working, and settling into a new home, and keeping up with chores, etc and blah blah...

Wishing everyone well!

...

...And a note I can't resist...

Anonymaso - as a fellow atheist, let me just say: you're making us look like a bunch of assholes. Don't shit on other people's faith, particularly when you're unsolicited for your theological opinion.

Live and let live. Don't force your belief or non-belief on others. Common courtesy, yo!

...

...And a Happy New Year!

Thank you, Miss Witch, for your thoughtfulness! It's very appreciated.

 

[prettyserpentine]

Happy Yule, everybody! And may the New Year bring you all your heart's desires.

Except Anonymaso, because she's being an asshole.

 

[Aluris]

I hope everyone is having a lovely holiday season!

I'm aware I'm substantially late, I'd blame the hangover, but I didn't get the chance to drink.

Happy New Year everyone. May it be filled with joy and plenty of well written words.

Yes it was rather combative. I hit saturation point for festive bollocks about 3 days after Guy Fawkes night on Nov 5th. Not having any family except my boyfriend's and finding the whole charade puerile has a bad effect on me. Consequently I end up having an bad effect on everyone else. At my job I'm also forced to 'get into the Christmas spirit' and make it special for the clients. Did you know there is a whole hallmark channel dedicated to Christmas spitting out truly horrendous made for TV American movies laden with kids, dogs and grandparents running right through December? I bet they play that shit in Guantanamo Bay. My clients love that stuff... bless them.

And it's bullshit. Consumerist crap.

So yeah, apologies. I basically spend xmas and new year's crawling into a vodka bottle... to hide from the in-laws.

Didn't get cable the last time I was down there, but I don't think they have the hallmark channel anyway.

My clients have SKY TV and it's a Christmas channel that vanishes after the festive season. Christmas 24 I think it's called. Don't know who makes it. All the schmaltz put me in mind of hallmark.
