Subject: Merry Christmas Everyone! From: Bugsy Date: 23 Dec 09 - 06:56 PM As it's going to be a bit busy here over the next few days (Mrs Bugsy and I are spending Christmas day with our son and then Cooking a Christmas Dinner,Turkey, Ham, Pork, etc, for 30 friends on Boxing day)I thought I'd get in a little early and wish all my friends on Mudcat a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year. All the best, Bugsy |

Subject: RE: Merry Christmas Everyone! From: Will Fly Date: 24 Dec 09 - 11:29 AM A very happy, Xmas (and even Xnas) to all on Mudcat, from deepest Sussex in the UK. Those of you who live within slurping distance of Harveys Brewery in Lewes, Sussex, and all its outlets, will no doubt be interested to know that this lunchtime, I carried out from the Cricketers pub at Berwick a 4-pint flagon of Harveys Christmas Ale (8.1% ABV) in readiness for a pre-Christmas dinner drink tomorrow morning. Stollage is in the cupboard under the stairs - just cool enough to give it a good drinking temperature for tomorrow morning. Cheers! |

Subject: RE: Merry Christmas Everyone! From: GUEST Date: 24 Dec 09 - 05:08 PM Love and Best wishes to everyone. As I sat under a sycamore tree, A sycamore tree, a sycamore tree, I looked me out upon the sea, Christmas Day in the morning. I saw three ships a-sailing there, A-sailing there, a-sailing there, The Virgin Mary and Christ they bare, Christmas Day in the morning. And he did whistle and she did sing, And he did whistle and she did sing, And all the bells on earth did ring, Christmas Day in the morning. And now we hope to taste your cheer, To taste your cheer, to taste your cheer, And wish you all a happy New Year, Christmas Day in the morning. |

A season for new hope - There then, and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then, and here now.

Subject: RE: Merry Christmas Everyone! From: Suffet Date: 24 Dec 09 - 10:41 PM Holiday greetings: I am a secular non-observant Jew, but strange as it may seem, Christmas is one of my favorite celebrations. Go beyond the supernatural aspects, the mythology, and the historical inaccuracies, and the Christmas story, which purposefully coincides with the Northern Winter Solstice, tells us that the birth of every child is a miracle and a new beginning, heralding the potential dawn of a new era, and that every newborn child is a messenger of peace and redemption. And, if we choose to look at it that way, that every child is the Son or Daughter of God. While the Christmas story singles out one child for adoration, the underlying message is that every child -- even a child born to poor and struggling working class parents, even a child belonging to a despised and oppressed people whose ancestral lands have been militarily occupied by a foreign power, even a child born in a hovel in Palestine -- should be considered a King of Kings, more worthy of our honor and devotion than any of the materially rich and powerful kings, presidents, and corporate and military leaders of our world. Amen. The sermon is over. Have a merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, a blesséd Solstice, a good Kwanzaa, and above all a sweet and peaceful New Year. --- Steve Suffet |
