Don't forget to celebrate Festivus, too. (Didn't any of you guys ever watch Seinfeld?)
Nothing like the Airing of Grievances.

That's included in all of the above, I think, as long as several family members are present. The Festivus Pole is optional.

Somehow, it's just not the same without Jerry Stiller leading us.....
Ed Da Head Toker Dec 5, 2011, 8:28pm UTC

even again, this year sucks.

Happy Holidays is just an easy way to say, Happy Christmas, Kwanzaa, whatever!. He, he

It is - except for a few that seem to want to make "Merry Christmas" the possession of Republicans.
Nauman Malik Dec 6, 2011, 2:26am UTC
Happy Holidays!

My belief is that whatever you choose to believe in, is what is right for you. Therefore, everyone's belief is right.
Rita B. Dec 6, 2011, 10:33am UTC
Ditto!
Peter Joseph Swanson Dec 6, 2011, 3:17pm UTC
There are many ways to party and it's still a party!
