Happy Holidays!

Alright then, thanks again.

You’re not filled with murderous rage during the rest of the year?

Happy Millenial Fair, everyone! :D:D:D:D:D:D

I never said I wasn’t, did I?

:kissy:

Eden likes the yule log :wink:

Ah ok. I was worried you got worse. ^^

I got a piece of coal. No, seriously.

MERRY FISHMAS!!! :ulty:

Yes. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you goons. Now go out and spend the rest of the day with whoever means something special to you. I’m rather tempted to shut these boards down to provoke it.

and happy festivus for the rest of us, which was actually on the 23rd

Happy holidays! Here is some weird song for you (I’m sure all of you know the first parts, but read them anyway.)!

Dashing through the snow,
in a one horse open sleigh!
Over the fields we go,
laughing all the way!

Bells on bobtail rings,
making spirits bright!
Oh, what fun it is to sing
a sleighing song tonight!

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh! Hey!

Just the other day,
I was walking home from school,
and it started to snow!
Oh, it was so fluffy I just had to stop,
and build a snowman!
Then, I heard a jingling jingling,
coming at me!
It was coming fast!
Lookout! Woosh! Splat!
I dove into my snowman’s belly!

I here those jingle bells,
dousn’t matter that they’re not really here anymore!
I could do without that jingle, jingle, jingle!
I here those jingle bells,
I wish that they would knock it off for now,
I would gladly have them back again next year!

Merry Xmas!! :slight_smile:

Thank you, but that was actually not Shakespearean at all. Not only is it not in iambic pentametre, but the language structure and choice of vocabulary is more late mediaeval.

That’s an awesome album :3
