(((((((((((((((((Merry Christmas Everyone)))))))))))))))))))))

and a Happy New Year.
Let's hope it's a good one,
without any fear..."

To your and yours..happy Xmas!

So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Xmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
And what have we done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so happy Xmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young..

(war isn't over...but we hope it will be)

Its not "world is so wrong"

Its either "war is so long" or "road is so long". I think I will go with "road"

So, in that spirit, I wish you peace on our long road together!

Happy Xmas!!

This proves one has to read carefully what one scarfs off the Net!

Happy Xmas to you and yours...Benny

War of all sorts can be over if we want it - wars between nations; religions; ideas; ways of life.

I want it. I pray for it. I work for it. I just wish John had told us how long "now" was...

To John - whose song *is* Christmas to me - :toast:

To everyone, everywhere working for peace - including DU !! - :toast:

Merry one to all!

But I'm tired of us preaching a separation of church and state, and practicing something else.

Really people! If we believe that there is a separation, how hard is it to actually PRACTICE IT????

This is political discussions, the PERFECT place to walk the walk.

I know, call me Scrooge or whatever but until we "get it", and realize that we need to DO what we say, then we deserve anything we get.

- Scrooge the Athiest

Peace on Earth! Really I think you just chose the wrong night. Peace Out!

Happy holidays to you and yours, and a New Year filled with good things.

;)

War is over.

...in a "good" way, that is. It's been such a lift so many dreary political days (and personal ones too)...to log on and share camaraderie with everyone here. Most especially when MSM was spinning its ShrubCo fiction. Couldn't wait to get a "clearer" view here from the other side of the mirror.

Best wishes to all for a most prosperous and joyous year!
(And if Santa are still listening...may this coming year be filled with a Dem Majority in Congress, Indictments, and well you know...all Dem-things good...like the REAL winner of '04 somehow finally claiming victory!) I know, I know...no bashing please. But it IS Christmas, so it's okay to "ask" for ANYTHING one's inner-child wants...and WAIT with fingers (and heart) "crossed"... believing all that is good IS possible.

Merry Christmas all DU'er's!!

:evilgrin:

a happy, healthy Christmas, and sincere wishes for a wonderful new year to all of you. DU is the gift that keeps giving all year long. My place for sanity. And sometimes the place I go for some distraction. My father passed away a week ago, and it's been tough. But I feel like I have a place to escape to right here, 24/7.

I don't know you all, but you all mean a lot to me.

I am sorry for your loss.

That's tough and it must make celebrating Christmas very difficult, Rude.

But yes, DU is indeed the gift that keeps on giving and 24/7, too!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza...it doesn't
matter how you say it. You are wishing me well, and I wish the same for you!
May 2006 bring you the best of everything.:toast:

Happy Hanukkah, too!

Blessings,
elshiva

I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it!

(Some Fawlty Towers humor on this Christmas Eve)

Happy Happy and all that!

Well you started it...

NO we didn't...

Yes you did, you invaded Poland!


(at least Mr. Fawlty remembered Poland)

:hide:

Merry Christmas all

...dishonor and disrespect our war on Christmas by uttering this foul saying???

"Pentagrams and dildos for all, and to all a good night."

will bring strength and the will to overcome in the name of democracy, justice and freedom. That is my Christmas prayer. Peace all... xoxoxoxoxox love you all! p.s. IMPEACH HIM!

Merry Christmas to you and all other good folks here and everywhere!

Merry Christmas, DU!

May this holiday season and new year bring peace, love, joy, and restoration to our land and world.

I hope everyone will have a great time with loved ones. Yet let's not forget those that are less fortunate than us. Merry Christmas to the troops overseas and those devastated by the hurricanes. And above all, Merry Christmas to George Bush, Dick Cheney, Rumsfield, Rice and company. The day I have hate in my heart for these these people is the day I stop becoming a liberal Democrat.
Merry Christmas!

Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew...and it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed, God Bless Us, Every One!

:hi:

That is what my Xmas cards say and for that I pray every day, but especially today.

Faithful to the cause, even as the end draws near, Happy Holidays to you all and may we all enjoy Fitzmas in the coming year.:yourock: :toast: :loveya:

Best wishes for the day!

that's right.... I went there :-)

Peace on Earth, goodwill towards all.

Set the screensaver on your PC to be the scrolling marquee text and have it read:

"Merry Christmas, From Santa"



Works great and the look of wonder on the little ones' faces is priceless! :D

:D

Have a safe and happy holiday! :grouphug:

A very Merry Christmas to all of you and an extraoredinary Happy New Year.
I cant wait to find out what GWB finds in his stocking in the morning. Betcha its a lump of coal.

Once again, The very best from my family to yours and the the Good Lord Bless and Keep all of you safe, happy and warm.

and Happy New Year!

But my friend, who is good at these things, added the tongue and the wink. My 8 lb. wonder doesn't do that in real life.:eyes: He had a great Christmas and is sleeping so deeply that he's snoring, at this moment. Actually, both my dogs are.:D

You know I love you.:grouphug:

:blush: I love you too :loveya: :hug: and DU too :grouphug: and Wes Clark too. :loveya: and all the good times we had last year rooting, cheering, defending and crying together for our good brave man.

land of ours, from sea to shining sea.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT! :hi:

Peace on Earth

Hope that didn't offend anyone! Ha!
I hope everyone has a really delightful day today!.

(for those of us still up playing Santa...........)

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening
by Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it's queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there's some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

everyone and a big shout out to all DUer's because over the last two years you have been my sanity in this crazy world. :toast:

P.S.
Santa Paws sent out from Lady Isabella and Princess Jasmine to all the felines and canines of our DU friends.


My biggest wish is that Rudolph pooped on Dick's house! (hee hee)

:grouphug:

DemEx

"Well, if war's what they want all we will wish
Is to fish away Fox from its satellite dish!"
So Santa said as he frowned all around
At penguins in slush where polar bears drowned.
Elves tied to toys floating in foam
Clung to the sleigh that now was their home.
Eight sweating reindeer looking to land
Circled above until seas might be sand.

Roared Jolly old Nick with fire in his eyes,
"We will punish these scum who poison the skies
And lay low the liars who publish the lies
And give to those 'givers' the shivers and sighs
All by the light of the merry old moon
And lay low the land of the Emperor Goon
Lord of the Bored, King of things, the Loon,
Chimpy the Smirkster, Shrub McCokespoon."

Somehow they managed to harness the deer
And under the radar flew into the clear
To various coal mines from which they stole
All of the ore and pieces of coal
And wherever they passed in the peace of the eve
They did not a drop of petroleum leave
Forthwith and forever, wherever they flew,
The black gold of earth turned peppermint goo.

And all the good boys and girls for good measure
Were left enough coal for their holiday treasure
Plenty to warm their homes and their schools
Until alternate fuels might rescue the fools.
The soot-covered sleigh with coal-blackened faces
Rose higher and higher trickling dust from the traces
Stey stuck in the sack the Fox satellite.

For once fair and balanced and tossed out of sight
The lost sack made Santa sure he'd done right:

"Reason's greetings to all and to all a good night!"

(Every year I write Christmassy stocking stuffers for the kids, sometimes a bit negative considering the spirit of the season, but I hope not too uncheery for a merry good time. This one I studiously derived from "Twas the Night before" and Byron's "The Destruction of Sennacherib".)

A Christmas toast to the light of DU! Peace.

Hope the kids liked it and Santa was good to them.

Peace to you and yours!

Tired Old Cynic

Wow. something didn't take.

To edit:

Steering clear across the moon by the light
They stuck in the sack the FOX satellite.

May the Flying Spaghetti Monster touch all of you with His Noodly Appendage. Wishing you the blessings of Marinara and Meatballs in the coming year.

Raaaaaamen

EOM!!

:grouphug:

Fire up that Yule Log.
Get the hot chocolate nice and warm.
Hug those close to you.
And may this coming year not suck as bad as the past five.

Happy Holidays to everyone at DU. I love you all. cmd

DU is very important to me. Y'all are great. Merry Christmas.

Whuh?

My sister and daughter are working in hospital emergency room today. Some places don't have "holidays." Police, firefighters, military, etc. May God bless them everyone!

With love and best wishes to all of you.

May you have many many more.

of my fellow DUers -- those who have become my friends and those who I have not "met," either in person or on DU. May 2006 bring us all many, many merry Fitzmases, a Democratic House and Senate and the beginning of impeachment proceedings.

The last few months have been just the beginning of a roller coaster ride that this country will never forget. Let's hope that they've also been the beginning of the people of this country coming to their senses, leading to us taking back our country and improving the lives of our citizens after the * regime ends.

And Happy Hanukkah and Happy Holidays and Happy Kwanza, etc., etc. to all DUers! :grouphug:

May peace and joy be yours this holiday season, whatever holiday you celebrate.

Merry Christmas to the best bunch of lunatics on the web. :woohoo:

To my friends, my adopted family, my people. I love you all. :loveya:

A bit late I know, but we still have to let them know we are thinking about them.

Have a safe and healthy rest of the year!

All I want for Christmas and the New Year is to see the chimp impeached. Here's hoping Santa grants me my most precious wish.

I hope everyone is with the ones they love and that everyone stays safe and warm through the new year.

Today is the day of peace in our time and one can only hope it's beacon shines upon the world and shows us the way.

Peace be with you all.

and Happy Holidays from Ohio to all the DU folks.

God bless us, Everyone! :toast: :kick: :grouphug:

I am making eggnog bread, wearing Grandma's apron :)

All your prayers were a blessing...a life saver...and we are doing good.

(But shouldn't this be in the Lounge? Doesn't seem like a political thread.)

Merry Christmas, everyone!

O'Reilly ought to come check us out. There seems to be no way to say "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings" in Hawaiian. :sarcasm:

to the beautiful Hawaiian songs at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. (I was there in October and will be in Salt Lake City next week, visiting the sun and snow!)

Mele Kalikimaka, KamaAina. Have a wonderful, beautiful holiday season!
