I have been with many of you through many Christmas seasons.

[redwitch]

A DUer since 2003 so that makes 10 to be precise. I love hearing about your celebrations and always send good wishes your way when times are tough. Let's make a New Year's resolution to try to play nice with each other in 2014.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope your celebration is quiet/noisy depending on what you prefer. Be safe, don't overdo it, love one another, feel peaceful, enjoy the palm trees/the ski slopes/ the comfort of your home and hearth or wherever you may be. If times are hard may they get better in the new year. If times are good may they stay that way. Kiss your dogs/cats/birds/narwhals/yaks/loved ones. Pray for peace/work for justice. May you always have enough to share. XO

8. Thanks LeftofObama!

I am also left of Obama. Like many of us here. When in doubt go left is what I always say!

[LeftofObama]

12. When in doubt go left = Great advice!

I chose my user name because I was pissed at the President at the time I registered at DU, but I can't remember why.

Anyhow, I'll probably have to change my username in a couple of years.

[redwitch]

20. I am just glad you aren't RightofW

[BlancheSplanchnik]

9. I like this post!!

[redwitch]

10. Narwhals. Do they get narwhalnip for Christmas?

My cats get catnip, it seems only right.

Merry Christmas!

[Locut0s]

13. They deserve it. After all they stop cthulhu eating thee...

[redwitch]

16. That is the silliest cartoon ever!

LOL!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

38. of course!

And tusk polish for a sparkling shine, too! Available in brine shrimp and NEW hagfish scent!!!!!

Shrimpy gets special treats all the time. Blue cheese, fed personally by tiny fingerfulls, while Telemann plays in the background, is a real fave.

[riqster]

And may your holiday be even merrier than those you wish for others.

[redwitch]

17. Thanks rigster!

[Johnny Noshoes]

14. Merry Christmas redwitch

"If times are hard may they get better in the new year. If times are good may they stay that way." I'll second that.

[redwitch]

18. Indeed.

"For it is at Christmas that want is most keenly felt and abundance rejoices". Actually not sure if that is the exact Dickens quote but you get my drift. Merry Christmas Johnny!

[DinahMoeHum]

15. I'm with you, redwitch.

Don't let all that shit out there distract us and tear us apart.

[redwitch]

19. Together we are strong and we WILL overcome.

Merry Christmas DMH!

21. Feliz Navidad, loungers!

Enjoy your holidays!

[redwitch]

22. Feliz Navidad is one of my favorite Christmas songs to sing in the car.

I crank up the volume and belt it out and feel great afterward! What does your user name mean? (Too lazy to look it up )
Whenever I see it I think "lizard". Pretty sure that is not what it means!

[blaze]

(Had to look it up... you made me curious)

[a la izquierda]

29. Heehee...nope not lizard!
