Happy Pre-Holidays!

Perhaps some of you are already on your way to being offline for the holidays.

To all of you: Have a very Merry Christmas. If you're not into Christmas, have a merry one, anyway. And may each day after be merry. Though don't blame me if it's not, unless you catch me doing donuts on your lawn. Happy Solstice, Happy Channukah. Happy Whatever it is you are Celebrating. May the coming year be happy, warm, and prosperous for you all, regardless of celebratory preference.

For those of you who think there's a war on Christmas, shhh. Go back to sleep. It will all be okay. I know, I know. The Beastie Boys said it best when they said, "You gotta fight for your right to party," but this is ridiculous. No one is herding you into Christmas Camps and forcing you to take a "Silent Night" Shower. There are Christmas trappings everywhere. Relax and enjoy your time with your family.

And thanks to bheansidhe for reminding me about this.
