Merry Christmas to you too Piffyr.

I'm not going to attempt my own verse, however all the talk of Sammy G's flake with Jim left me wanting.

That's okay Stick
No need for verse
A good puff is a blessing
A bad rhyme is a curse

No matter how black, white, male, female, Irish, German, tall, short, ugly or pretty you felt this year, you are part of a family that has been targeted by an unforgiving cosmos since its inception but has, regardless, survived ... humanity, warts and all, is an inherently heroic species that has spent about 99.99% of its short lifetime as an underdog. And If you see no billboards telling you that, it's not because it's not true. It's because there's little to no profit to be made telling you.

I could go on and on about the suffering we've endured and the adaptations we've made, but to me, our species' crowning jewel is that on the shortest day of the year, when the sun spends most of its time swallowed, when everything is frozen, when nothing can grow, when the air is so cold our voices stop right in front of our faces ... we put a string of lights on a universe that is currently doing nothing to earn it. We not only salvage an otherwise desolate time of year, we make it the best time of year.

— Dan Harmon

I'm celebrating the best time of the year with some Newminster No.306 English Oriental in a bulldog of unknown origin and I'm toasting both you and I. May we both have the merriest of Christmases. We've earned it, you know.
