Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday! It doesnt have to be religious ,
just a time where people can spend their time together with family / loved ones /
and eat food and exchange present. Or even just a peaceful long deserved rest!

Well, according to wiki I'm 5727 miles from my family. That's cousins, brother, parents uncles, aunts and grandparent. And I'm in a country that doesn't really get Xmas...feel free to pull out the world's smallest violin just for me. lol.

On the plus side I'm approximately 2 metres away from my wife and getting a half day off work. Still, would have been nice to have been at the traditional family dinner with everyone else.

Merry xmas everyone.

Happy Dies Natalis Solis Invicti everyone!!!

Technically, it is the birthday of the unconquered sun now

**agnosto**

It's freezing outside, the sun has lost.

Happy Hogswatchnight!

Feliz Blah Blah Blah (works best when sung to the tune of the song "Feliz Navidad"), everyone!

Merry xmas everyone.

With luck and good judgement, you can be approx 0.1mm away from your wife later on.

Merry Christmas, Happy (belated) Hanukah/Chanukah, Merry Kwanza, or whatever it is you decide to celerbrate.

I look forward to spending time with my family, watching Nightmare Before Christmas, and eating some damn good meals!

Happy Non Specific Holidays, to all Genders, Ethnicities, Age Groups, and Religons!

The Shortest Day

And so the Shortest Day came and the year died
And everywhere down the centuries of the snow-white world
Came people singing, dancing,
To drive the dark away.
They lighted candles in the winter trees;
They hung their homes with evergreen;
They burned beseeching fires all night long
To keep the year alive.
And when the new year's sunshine blazed awake
They shouted, revelling.
Through all the frosty ages you can hear them
Echoing behind us - listen!
All the long echoes, sing the same delight,
This Shortest Day,
As promise wakens in the sleeping land:
They carol, feast, give thanks,
And dearly love their friends,
And hope for peace.
And now so do we, here, now,
This year and every year.
-Susan Cooper

Here's another good one:

December

No gardener need go far to find
The Christmas rose,
The fairest of the flowers that mark
The sweet Year's close:
Nor be in quest of places where
The hollies grow,
Nor seek for sacred trees that hold
The mistletoe.
All kindly tended gardens love
December days,
And spread their latest riches out
In winter's praise.
But every gardener's work this month
Must surely be
To choose a very beautiful
Big Christmas tree,
And see it through the open door
In triumph ride,
To reign a glorious reign within
At Christmas-tide.
- Dollie Radford

To all members of Dakka, hope your Christmas is a cracker

(you know, it took me hours to think up that rhyme).

Merry holidays to all. Its a family tradition to celebrate it on Xmas Eve rather than day, kinda strange.

**avantgarde**

It's snowing.

All is right.

Perhaps your family is Swedish.

**trougedoor122**

Happy Holidays to all Dakka users!

**greenskin lynn**

merry christmas to all those who are off work, cause i have the night shift

**Karon**

I'm jewish.

Honakuh sucks, so I celebrate Christmas with my girlfriend, my parents don't care for me that much, so they mail me $200.

We do agree on one thing, though, that Honakuh sucks.

Edit: Btw, since I'm swedish (aswell as my girlfriend) we kind-of celebrate christmas today.

**Deff Dread red Edition**

Merry Christmas to you all, I'm having a grand time. My uncles visiting and I already got to unwrap my gifts(as we to celebrate Christmas on it's actual eve), got the 4 books I wanted plus some other pretty cool stuff.

Looks like next Christmas will be a little more relaxing than this one is shaping up to be.

Happy Holidays to everyone here on Dakka.

**Emperors Faithful**

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

**Lord-Loss**

Is anyone else gonna watch 'The End of Time' Doctor Who episode like me?

**JD21290**

Well, just sat down and watched green street 2 with the missus, im no longer sober, but i guess it makes me forget how much i paid out on xmas XD

**Khornholio**

Merry Christmas to everyone. I hope that you all have a great couple of days reveling in the collective conscious pool of mirth and merriment.

Open them gifts! Pack them pipes! Raise them glasses! Kiss them girls!

**Orkestra**

Merry christmas indeed. I'm just off to the first of three Christmas Eve services for the night (well, obviously they're tonight.) and then I get to come home for some relaxation with the fam. Maybe I'll watch a cheesy Christmas movie. The sky's the limit really.

The real excitement comes boxing day (that's December 26th, for you yanks) when my girlfriend flies in from Vancouver for Christmas II.

**Gwar!**

Posting on xmas day because xmas is for squares
