I think it's great that you found a way to get over your winter blues, I think I'll take baby steps in celebrating you holiday but since I can't pronounce it, I too am gonna call it festivus.

Don't worry, it's not quite the religious holiday Dradle makes it out to be. There will be all the drunken partying you can handle.\n\nAs to what to do, check this site out -\n\nhttp://www.stpatricksday.ie/cms/events.html

"Happy Holidays" is no good either, because you might upset some uppity Atheist.\n\nI believe the new phrase is "Have an acceptable consecutive 24 hours".  (;\n\nSeriously though, "happy holidays" should be an acceptable compromise, no?  You've got all your bases covered, and a non-holiday-celebrating person should be mature enough to not be bothered by it.  It's silly to Jews, since we have holidays throughout the year, and though a lot of Jews treat Chanukah like some sort of Jewish Christmas, they're not really the same at all.  But it's cool.  We'll meet you halfway.\n\nAs for why a Jew (or other religious minority) might be upset by "Merry Christmas," try to understand where they're coming from.  Various peoples have been mercilessly persecuted by Christians over the last two thousand years.  Yeah, I know, it's not like you're the one who burned so-and-so's great great great Grandfather at the stake in the name of Jesus.  BUT, you can at least understand why such a person might not be so merry about Christmas, can't you?\n\nI think that those among my own people who get offended when wished Merry Christmas (though if they're wearing a yarmulke you should probably know better) are a little too tightly wound, BUT, I can see their point.\n\nI think "happy holidays" is the best we're going to get.\n\nOr how about what you said?  "Glad tidings to all!"\n\n...I'm reminded of Krusty the Clown (the character from the Simpsons), who at the end of his Non-Denominational Holiday Special, wished his viewers a "Marry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, a Kwwwaaaaazy Kwanza, and a solemn, dignified Ramadan".\n\nHey, you could try that one.

I like Thanksgiving.  I have lots of family over and I love to cook.  However, I must say Christmas is my favorite.  I love the season.  I love the carols, both religious and secular, the movies, from A Charlie Brown Christmas to Its a Wonderful Life, the window shopping (I never actually buy much; its the Lord's birthday, not anyone else's!) and the intimate time I have with just my own small family on the actual day.  \nHappy Holidays to you!

I'll be working this Christmas on a gas platform in the North Sea.\nOut on the 21st back in on the 28th. 8 x 12 hour shifts.\nwe are busy trying to down man all non essential persons so we should be down to 13 people on board.\nProvided the lights stay on it should be OK. \n\nWill miss the wife and kids though over the holiday, that's the worst bit!

For the first time I am spending Christmas away from my Wife and kids.  I know how you feel when it comes to  relitives that are a little odd, but it is a different story when you can not be there, it's that "You do not know what you have tell it is gone" thing.  \n\nI well be sitting in Iraq waiting for Feb to come around so my year well be over.  Well there is always Valentines Day... *S*

With all the turmoil I have so much to be thankful for this year. A wonderful family including my loving brother Christ who came and fond me when I needed him so much.\n\nKaye, you should see my newly decorated bathroom. All lavender and plum. \n\nGotta go get those pumpkin pies in the oven\n\nHappy Thanksgiving to all!

What a great idea.. \nWhere were you for the client dinner party last week,\nwe had 10 business men from Japan in town to host\nand I had one hell of a time accomodating their tastes.\n\nReally, with enough publicity I think you would be a HIT.\nI would use you and I'm sure you would be very busy for\nthe holidays, everyone hates to cook on the holidays.\nPlus the selling point is that you clean before and after.\n\nGood luck to you..

My best holiday is for me like asking which child I love the best.  It is the next one coming up.  I suppose though I would say christman /Hanukah time because it seems to me that people are a little nicer then.

Yes, I am looking forward to it. I love that feeling of euphoria that comes around the time of the Holiday season. It's being with family, and loved ones. It's sipping champagne, and drinking hot cocoa, and tea. It's also playing with your nephews/nieces, and giving presents that you know that individual person has asked for, and its seeing their surprise/pleasure when they open it up, and you can actually see the light in their eyes when they do. For me, its not all about the receiving, its about the giving too. In fact, I would much rather give than receive because their is so much more pleasure in it. That is what the holiday season is all about.

No I am not, but I hope that you know that you are worth more than any silly holiday.  \n\nConcentrate on people you love, like your family.  They will be there for you.\n\nLove has more dimensions than just romantic.

Good for you 'old coots' and I hope you enjoy the gift certificate.  You'll actually enjoy it.  Cloth napkins, fancy dishes, it's all good.  Just remember your manner...help your new lady with her chair and her coat...and order your most favorite dish.  A country boy like yourself can probably find a good steak on the menu...you can splurge on desserts...and a bottle of wine if you prefer.  Won't it be fun to dine in and not worry about the check.  Be sure to write a thank you note to the person who gave you the gift certificate and you've got the rest of your life to dine at BK.  Jazz up your clothing for the event (no overalls), help your new bride with the door and be whomever you want to be for the evening.  Just be sure you save some energy for the fun you'll have when you return home.  Enjoy....and good luck.

I bet it is. but it depends on your attitude towards it, and I'm not really 'feeling it' for these holidays. I'm more of an April 15th/14th person (Day(s) Titanic sank)
