I say that, too -- after a few beers.

I've even been known to say "MerryHappyChristmasNewYear." That's the signal for my wife to start the car and take us home.

LOVER6 is on a distinguished road
The word Holiday meaning comes from the old english meaning Holy Day. So taking away the Christmas is just as religious as holiday so whats the difference?

Shhh... don't tell the liberals, that will infuriate and gravely offend them.


BTW... Through evidence of the poll, if your in the US during this season the single most unoffensive way to greet people is "Merry Christmas".

Well, personally I wished everyone I saw a Happy Groundhog Day. And I made cupcakes for the office, too.

Well, I would have settled for even a "Marmotmas Blessings" wish, but d'you think the infidels in this part of the country could manage? Noooo. At least DC has seen the light. Or would that be seen the shadow?
