Regis Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I had someone, the other day, ask me if I noticed that more people were saying "Merry Christmas" this year rather than "Happy Holidays"? And I had noticed. Glad to see that many people aren't afraid to express their true well wishes no matter how politically incorrect it may appear to some. With that said, Merry Christmas to everyone! And that includes those that don't celebrate it. I wish you all peace and happiness now and into the new year. Cheers!

BodybyFisher Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Interesting you bring this up. The other day I was talking to a Verizon rep and she said Merry Christmas. While slightly hesitant, I replied Merry Christmas, it felt good. I seem to see many more houses decorated with lights this year.

epricedright Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I made a holiday hours sign for my business and typed out 'Happy Holidays' at the bottom. Then my wife made some little name tags for our customer's gifts and subconsciously typed 'Merry Christmas' on those. We didn't realize it till after she printed them out and for a second we thought oops, we should change that, but then we thought no, we'll leave it as it is being that's what we really meant. Funny you mention lights as my wife and I were just commenting the other night how many Christmas lights there were in our neighborhood...more than ever! Not sure if it's due to the mild weather we've had here lately or the Christmas spirit, whatever it is, it's a good thing! Even our neighbor of 14 years across the street put lights out for the 1st time. He had been nicknamed the 'neighborhood scrooge', being he never put Christmas lights out or gave out Halloween candy to the kids, although he goes to a Christian church every Sunday. The Christmas spirit is alive and well here! Wishing everyone here at Caddyinfo a Merry Christimas and a healthy, bountiful, Happy New Year!

Just yesterday a Salvation Army bell ringer was saying it to everyone. I don't think I've heard "Happy Holidays" by itself yet. Weird that we've noticed this phenomenon. Merry Christmas!

WarrenJ Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 HOLIDAY EATING TIPS 1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls. 2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. It's rare. You can't find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-alcoholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas! 3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat. 4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission. 5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello? 6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog. 7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again. 8. Same for pies. Apple. Pumpkin. Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day? 9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards! 10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-read tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner. Remember this motto to live by: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!" Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!! And a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Wishing you all the best, Warren There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion.
