Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Merry Christmas to you all.
Merry Christmas – and a Bearable New Year.
To all Samizdata people.
Merry Christmas all.
My what cute dimples Perry has. My invite lost in the post again this year then? And the scoff looks the business too!
A very Merry Christmas to you all.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, everybody.
Happy Newtonmas to all, and a more secure New Year :-).
…and Merry Christmas from me too.
What a lovely picture. Happy Christmas!
If the camera lieth not, then the celebrants of The World’s Most Famous Birthday were indeed having a lovely time.
May all Samizdatists, their Significant Others, and the assorted critters for whom they are indentured to buttle all have a fabulously Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, one and all.
I was standing in line at the US Post Office yesterday morning, and a leaving customer said ‘Merry Christmas’ to the clerk, who replied ‘Happy Holidays’, in State-approved, non-denominational style.
‘No’ said the lady ‘I said Merry Christmas, and I meant it. I know you can’t say it (to the clerk) but I can! Merry Christmas!’
and the assembled masses replied in like manner.
And each one, leaving the counter, said ‘Merry Christmas’ to the clerk, who smiled sheepishly.
From such little acts of defiance is the Leviathan kept pushed back.
Merry Christmas, one and all. How does one get invited to such a feast?
llater,
llamas
Yay!!! I like her style. And the chiming in of the bunch who thereby backed her up.
And yours, llamas, for posting this encouraging story.
(I always make a point of “Merry Christmas” myself.)

Merry Christmas, all, and have a happy New Year!
Looks like quite a feast. No menu to share this year?
We spent Xmas with SWMBO’s parents in California. Her mother has been very ill, and is recovering somewhat, so it was a special holiday in a season of new beginnings.
Her father, a strong, traditional man in every way, couldn’t get through saying grace this year. It was a powerful moment for all, and a reminder about what’s truly important—family, and the ties that bind us together.
This is my first holiday season without my mother, who passed last spring, but I was ready for that, she’d been weakening for several months from heart failure.
So, I hope all of you can share in some of the joy and hope that was felt around that traditional holiday dinner table, as we talked and enjoyed each other’s company one more time in this uncertain world.
And my two absolutely fabulous grandchildren wish you Merry Christmas, too. But next year, send more toys…
Sorry to hear about your mother, VR. And I wish the remaining members of the older generation many more healthy and active years. We need their experience and wisdom now more than ever, for the sake of our children and grandchildren.
@Laird: we didn’t have a printed menu this year, but as I remember it:
– celeriac soup
– fois gras
– roast duck, parsnips+pears, potatoes, sprouts, carrots
– cheese selection w/ port
– selection of honey cakes, ginger hippos and other fine baking, plus michael jenning’s pecan pie
TY Alisa. Being one of the older generation now, I’m not sure we are much of a bargain, but I do hope to hang around for a while out of sheer cussedness, and, I hope, to play with some more grandkids.
Xmas is for kids. Thank heaven I’m still a child.
