See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Is "Have a happy happy" the new "happy holidays?". And now I've heard "Merry happy happy". Really?

hearing this would cause a rage response in me.

I'm trying to rein in the impulse to add profanity into the middle of "Have a merry Christmas!" because that would be self-defeating.

Someone told me to have a merry Armageddon, which did amuse me.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Were they very stoned? Because I'll accept any mangled seasonal greeting from someone tripping balls.

Someone told me to have a merry Armageddon, which did amuse me.

Oooh, I have to start doing this!

I doubt they were stoned on the first one, the second one is suspect.

In my neighborhood, "Have a happy merry and a merry happy" is an acceptable variation.

I like "Merry Christmas" because it can be easily slurred into something short, "Mer' Chris'mas". Happy Holidays needs to be enunciated more to be intelligible.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Being married to a Jewish dude, I have mostly switched to Happy Holidays, but sometimes revert to Merry Christmas out of habit.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The Mets traded RA Dickey.

I guess it says something about how long I've been a Mets fan that I'm not jaded about this.
