In my neighborhood, "Have a happy merry and a merry happy" is an acceptable variation.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The Mets traded RA Dickey.
It's a bad narrative, but it wasn't a terrible baseball deal. They got two quality cost controlled players going forward and they really need to rebuild their entire system. Their drafts have been shitty and the Wilpons shittier.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey Sue, did you watch Downton Abbey Revisited? I'm watching it just now, and whenever they come on to the pledge bit, I think Jon Abbott is saying "Canada and the Maritimes." Um... You're still part of Canada, right??

Newfoundland didn’t join Canada until 1949.
