Merry Christmas

I want to wish everyone here a very Merry Christmas and a very happy and prosperous New Year. Thankyou to all that welcomed me when I started on this fantastic web site.

A very Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year to everyone here!!!

Hope Santa brings you lots of plastic goodies and no clothes!

I’d offer everyone some Christmas cookies but they seem to have vanished…

I hope everyone has a merry Christmas with their families, remembers the real reason for the season, and enjoys the gifts which they receive! [*][angl][flw][G]

(Not many Christmas-y emojis, but I tried.)

And to you, lurch, and everyone, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

Dang Gamera where did you get that pic of my dog[:D], Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all you fine folks here on the forums. Heres to an amazing 2022[H]

Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.

In lieu of “Christmas” greetings this year, I am advised by the legal department to post this message instead:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2022, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great, neither to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only “America” in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee(s).

IMPORTANT: This message is intended for the use of the individual addressee(s) named above and may contain information that is confidential, privileged or unsuitable for overly sensitive persons with low self-esteem, no sense of humor, or irrational religious beliefs. If you are not the intended recipient, any dissemination, distribution or copying of this message is not authorized (either explicitly or implicitly) and constitutes an irritating social faux pas. Unless the word “absquatulation” has been used in its correct context somewhere other than in this warning, it does not have any legal or grammatical use and may be ignored. No animals were harmed in the transmission of this message, although the Yorkshire terrier next door is living on borrowed time, let me tell you! Those of you with an overwhelming fear of the unknown will be gratified to learn that there is no hidden message revealed by reading this warning backwards, so just ignore that Alert Notice from Microsoft; however, by wearing a tinfoil hat and pouring a complete circle of salt around yourself and your computer you can ensure that no harm befalls you and your pets. If you have received this message in error, please add some nutmeg and egg whites and place it in a warm oven for 40 minutes. Whisk briefly and let it stand for 2 hours before icing.

I don’t know about you…

…but even in the (relatively) mild-weathered Mid-Atlantic, it’s too cold to build models in the buff.[8-)][C]

But Happy C and Merry NY to all!

And a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

I also want to wish all of the modelers on this forum a very Merry Christmas! This forum and the various modeling podcasts have help me to get through the last two years of quarantine. I’ve been to only one local contest(only person to wear a mask ) and our local club held its first meeting in 20 months last month(only person to wear a mask) unfortunately we’re not meeting in December due to the holiday and the Omnicron variant. This forum has given me a chance to reach out to individuals who share my same interests. So I also want to say “THANKS”! I hope that 2022 will be the end of this pandemic so that we can return to a sense of normal.

Cliff’s notes version…just another day on the third rock. Though in my case it’s a boxer instead of a Yorkie, but I’d prefer the little yappy one.

Greetings of the seasons to everyone.[:D[

Could not have said it better myself SpaceRanger…no really I do not have that level…yet LOL.

Well, okay I guess an ugly Christmas sweater is fine. Even if it is a Llama…

That looks like my lady dressing up 65lbs of poodle in a hat, sweater, and ankle bells. Don’t know how dog put up with it, but she looked real unhappy every year when the outfit came out of the drawer.

Thank you, Lurch, - the same to you, and to all here. May we all celebrate in our own way, and have a better year in 2022.

Sincere best wishes to all, and stay safe.

Ummm… A naked Santa Claus entering the house would be the stuff of nightmares. [:O]

If he wore just a sock, it would be the Red Hot Chili Peppers all over again! [:P]

OK enough terrible thoughts to dance in everyone’s head. Merry Christmas everyone, and see you all in 2022!

To Lurch and everyone else on the forums,

My family and I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hope we can all get back to the monthly club meetings and contests soon. [t$t]
