I would say its politically correct to wish people who celebrate Christmas a "Merry Christmas"

and of course, for my first Christmas in Buffalo in 5 years, there is no snow.

I was walking out of the mall earlier in the week and held the door for a middle-aged lady who stopped halfway through, turned around and actually said "thank you" and then followed up with a sincere "Merry Christmas".  I was stunned - the only people I hear it from are family/friends/coworkers.  (I've also heard it from select retailers/salespeople, but not as much as I would like.)

Merry Christmas.

[R_dudly]

Yes a very Merry Christmas to all.

Please excuse my lame attempt at song writing below but in the spirit of Christmas past and the current board tenor I feel compelled to share a little Christmas parody song.

Oh the hockey inside is frightful,
But the rioting fans fire delightful,
The Sabres no place to go,
Let heads roll! Let’m roll! Let’m roll!

When we finally hit last place,
How I’ll hate going here to this storm!
But if Lindy will hold us tight,
On the way to playoffs I’ll be warm.

Now the fans fire is slowly dying,
But my dear Sabres will still be trying,
So as long as I love them so,
I can say, let’m roll! Let’m roll! Let’m roll!

Real nice ... and festive. Let's hope the Sabres can get a roll going starting Monday.
Merry Christmas to all ... and I'm hoping that Lord Stanley is in Buffalo in that 2-3 year time frame we were told about back in the spring.

Merry Christmahannukwanzakuh to all of you on the board, posters and lurkers alike!

Happy Festivus everyone!

[Ghost of Dwight Drane]

Merry Christmas everyone. And Happy Hanukkah to those of you who own club seats to the Sabres.   And I guess happy Eid as well, although that is usually a month after July 1st....so it's sort of fitting for Sabre fans to sacrifice around then.   What the heck...Happy Kwanzaa to Thurman and the 3 of you other hockey fans who lurk.

May everyone forget their stresses and focus on the common good and hope we all share. Yes....somewhere deep down I posses hope as well. You may need a hydrofracker and a miner's helmet to find it at times ....but it's there, wrapped in a swaddling ball of glory.

Have a cup of cheer and fire up the yule log.

Merry christmas to one and all from Kuala Lumpur!

[K-9]

On behalf of everyone from Team Sunshine, Team Kool-aid, Team Rose Color, and Team Smoke Up Our A$$, I'd like to wish everyone from Team Storm Cloud, Team Apathy, Team Sanctimonius, and Team Parade Pee the merriest Christmas and best wishes for the happiest and healthiest of a New Year.

And the same for anyone not on a team. Just figured those would just about cover it around here.

Have a cool yule, everybody!

Peace!

[HopefulFuture]

Just dropped the yule log in the crapper and fired up a big ole doobie

Happy Christmas & Merry New Year to everyone, yes, even Flyers fans.

Seems like as good a place as any to put this.  I'm not all that religious, but I am relatively spiritual and like music.  My brother found a way to combine both of these things.  He is very religious and we played a church service on Wednesday that was really more of a concert of his music.  We basically got to play some freejazz in a slammin' sanctuary.  I just fast forward the chanting parts.  Hope you like it and Merry Christmas.

Sounded pretty cool.

What instrument do you play?

Bass.  Brother's on Piano, niece is singing, nephew is on violin and keys.  We're the regular ol' Von Trapps.

LOL, I was looking for family resemblances to see if I could pick you out.  I was guessing that violin and bass were you and bro.  I was kinda close I guess.

[Derrico]

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone.  Although I've never personally met anyone of you, I interact with you everyday.  All the best to you and your loved ones and may 2012 be prosperous.

[Andrew Amerk]

Eat, drink, and be Merry everyone.

Unless some of you do not eat, do not drink, or not like being Merry.

[Campy]

Happy Holidays!

And no, that's not meant to be politically correct, but instead, to offer the best wishes for any religious or secular holiday (including New Year's Eve) observed by my Muslim, Jewish, and Hindu friends...

Nice, looks like fun!  My brother and I both play trombone, so I got a book of Christmas duets for trombone this year.  I arrived home in Rochester tonight in time for a brief rehearsal before serenading our relatives on Christmas Day.

Merry Christmas everyone!  Be sure to take the time to reflect on what is truly important to you this holiday season.

Nice stuff. And you guys have a great organ there. Man! I read about the fire and all....but that's a fine result. Do you guys ever use that in your combo or is it just too powerful?

Merry Christmas to all.  Now i need this money train to slide on through.

That organ could easily drown out the entire group.  It's a pretty wealthy church and I think just the organ cost around 2 million.  Don't be fooled, though.  Since I didn't have any weddings or funerals to go to this year, that's the first time I've worn a tie this year.  I was just glad that I didn't burst into flames when I walked through the front door.

Happy holidays everyone

[sizzlemeister]

Merry Christmas! Hope Santa is good to everyone here, I know my kids and wife are being spoiled. Looks like we have very nice travel weather here in WNY, although I do prefer snow by now; it's more difficult to "get in the spirit" without.

Let's hope each Sabre finds some extra testicular fortitude in their stockings, and Darcy has visions of brilliant trades dancing in his head.

Cool. The only church organ I played on cost 2 thousand! I don't think you have to worry about bursting into flames. It's what's in your heart, not what anyone else thinks.
