    Same old right wing tripe every December. Tiresome.

          I'll wish any of the many ethnic groups who live here in NZ all the very best for their particular celebration, and have no issue at all wishing those who observe Christmas, all the very best for that days celebrations.

          Have a good one people.

                    Ditto.

                    It is the the holiday season so I will unashamedly wish people "Season's Greetings" and "Happy Holidays."

                    "They have a lot of stupid people that vote in their primaries. They really do. I'm not really supposed to say that but it's an obvious fact. But when stupid people vote, you know who they nominate? Other stupid people." -- James Carville on the plethora of low-quality GQP candidates in the mid-term election.

                      And while we're at it, why don't we celebrate the New Year on the winter solstice?

                        There was no 'surlyness' in my post.

                        It was posted in the spirit of goodwill to endeavour avoid upsetting anyone, your good self included, and to be all inclusive.

                        By the way, and in true christian spirit, I forgive you your antagonistic rant.

                            And the birth of Jesus on the same day, from which we supposedly started counting our years?
