I celebrate Christmas. Not x-mas. Not some vague holiday. Not some season that happens to have a day in the middle of it whose name cannot be mentioned because not everyone wants to celebrate it, but everyone wants a reason to celebrate. You want a holiday in the middle of winter with no religious association? One where you can have a nice party and celebrate things like family and happiness and light and sharing and giving? Cool. All of those are good things that should be celebrated. And you know what? We have a perfectly good day to do that on. It's called New Year's Day. I'll join you. We can raise a glass to all of the good things that we can all celebrate as fellow human beings. The world needs that. Let's do it on New Year's when we already have the day off anyway. But leave Christmas to the Christians. You don't try to over-run other holidays. No one is trying to turn Eid in to World Happiness day. Or Pesach into the Festival of Leavening Awareness. Sure we all want to get along and share our mutual thoughts and feelings. But we also have times where we need to be ourselves- to be who and what we are in our innermost being. Our spirituality and beliefs are at the centre of who we are. If we wish to celebrate who we are, we can not encourage one segment of our society to dilute the holiday that celebrates who they are. Leave Christmas, Hanukkah, the Solstice and Kwanzaa for the people who celebrate them. There's nothing wrong with broadening our horizons and joining another group of people in celebrating their holiday. We can certainly learn a lot from each other if we respect each other's traditions. But if we are going to join them, let's remember that it's their holiday. It's not ours to change on a whim. Then let's join together on New Year's Day to celebrate the human race and whatever else we want to celebrate that we feel the need to have a Holiday for. The person below me celebrates another holiday besides Christmas.

Lions Win!!!!!!!!!

He's black now?

You rock. Thanks!

Thanks, but my computer won't let me in. It says it has a trojan. I guess if I'm getting f***ed tonight by my computer, it makes sense that it won't allow a trojan.

Hey, kids! My internet decided to conk out about 3 minutes before the puck dropped. One minute I'm drooling over Murph. The next I have nothing. I finally got it back. How are we looking now? Great start, but have we kept it up? I missed a fight. Does anyone have a stream?

I was driving by the BK yesterday and they had a sign that read "Buy one Original Chicken, get one free". How can the second one be original?

Sit on my butt indoors away from the blustery wind and bone-chilling temps. Pizza or marijuana?

I plan. I'm anal-retentive. I plan how I'm going to plan. I'm so bad that if a lightbulb burns out, I put on my list of things to do rather than just get out a new bulb and replace it right away. The person below me needs about 6 more hours in their day.

Crunch. Lhasa apso or shih tzu?

Hey, y'all. There's one in every crowd. Not much any more, but back in the day... The person below me gets unexplainable bruises.

Not wondering at all. Clueless, in fact. The person below me knows what Casey's talking about.

It certainly does. Just go to the top of the page and click the down arrow by your name. Then click on "manage ignored users". It will prompt you from there. I'll warn you- if you put Mindfly on ignore, you will be missing a great deal of comic gold. This, of course, does not in any way eradicate the possibility that he might be mentally challenged or annoying as s***. (j/k Sebastian- you know I love you.) EDIT: Forgot what I came for! Wings will bounce back and win this one. Wings: Kronner, Huds (OT) Preds: bounce off Huds' skate LGW goes nuts trying to decide if Huds is a hero or a villain.

Nope. I do have a wreath on the door this year though. The person below me likes the coloured lights better than the white ones.

Oh, well. Since these threads are jumbled, let's just go on, shall we? Ralph. Fleas or ticks?

I started wondering if he was scratched. Then I remembered Modo is out. If you have to wonder after almost 2 periods if someone is scratched, it either means that he isn't playing well, or that he isn't messing up. I hope it's the latter.

HOMER! That's so funny. I was just typing that I have to leave for work in 10 minutes, and would like some insurance. And Homer gives me what I want. What a man!

Read Perry's lips. Hehehehe

Not to mention Danny "Bear" Cleary.

Ugh. PK. Oh, well, at least they stopped the puck from going in.

Yeah. Can't live in the past. Seeing #25 in a Ducks uni still brings back memories or Pronger. Blech.

Pavel.

I would only trade a bad Wings season for a Superbowl win. Otherwise I'd just get my hopes up and be frustrated like in the Sanders years and sometimes in the Sims years. But yeah- Bring Back Fontes!!!

For a roommate? Mindy. For a laugh? Mork. Mapquest or an actual map?

Bowzer! Dut-doh-doh-dut-doh. The person below me gets songs in their head easily.
