Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all who operate, manage, or contribute to this important site.

Whether a poster or reader, people who come here find a safe place to express the individualism that might be subject to attack in other forums, or, indeed, in their everyday life.

Feliz Navidad.

Merry Christmas, and a one-step-ahead-of-the-Mayan-prophecy New Year.

Merry Christmas from Oregon, USA, and thank you very much, Samizdata.

Merry Christmas Samizdataians.

Grinch mode: I have just taken an extreme dislike to the term 'holiday season'.

It's inaccurate and insipid.

Mele Kalikimaka from Hawai'i to all champions of freedom! And a warm island Mahalo to Samizdata and its supporters.

'Festive season' seems an accurate description of the christmas to news years period.

A toast to reality. May we not fight it.
All the best for Christmas and the New Year!
In His love.

Happy Newtonmas to all!

Merry Christmas, and peace to all men of good will.

And just for fun, here's a clip of Santa playing "Jingle Bells" with the Colt 1911

Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year to all. I shall even attempt to restrain my envy of those folks in the UK who are probably watching the Doctor Who Christmas special right now.

Natalie - that video showed up on my local firearms board today - I love his "costume change" at the end!

A very libertarian Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Just try to remember the spirit of the season is to spend time with you families and loved ones.

Let's ignore the modern X-Factor lifestyle of working in jobs we hate, to buy shit we don't need for people we don't like.

It's not about materialism, it's about life, love and all that.

Cthulhumas! Where do I sign up?


Posted by Henning at December 25, 2011 09:26 PM

Merry Christmas, and best wishes to those who are also travelling.

Merry Christmas and happy festive season to everyone at Samizdata!

A very Merry Christmas, a delightfully Happy Hanukkah, and a wondrously Gut Yule generally to all who are capable of good will toward men--especially to those who frequent the delightfully thoughtful Samizdata, and double helpings to Father Perry (Pere Perry?) and other posters, and to the folks who help to keep it up and running.
