Happy birthday, Jesus

[maumann]

Merry Christmas to all you non-fundamentalist Christians out there in SJ land. Hope you don't get visits from deadlines past, present and future, but instead get what you wish for. My wish for you is health, happiness and continued virtual friendship.

Sorry I forgot the myrrh again. I guess I need to fetch everyone a beer.

Gwen and I are heading to Melbourne this morning (15 minutes from Tahoe!) to visit with Mom and Dad and my brother's family.

Merry Christmas, my friends.

The entire Christmas season has been ruined for me due to the rampant commercialism that starts roughly the second the last piece of candy is handed out on Oct. 31. But I still do enjoy the day itself. I think it would hit a little differently if I had kids but that's not the path I went down in life, so here we are. Merry Christmas to all, and may your scratch offs prove to be fruitful.

Merry Christmas one and all. Mornings come early with a seven-month old in the house, but this is one morning no one minds it, not even my sleep-deprived son, the dad, and his equally sleep-deprived wife.

Awesome thread title @maunmann.

For those who don't know.

Mornings come early with a seven-month old in the house

My wife has high blood pressure and asked me to get an aspirin from downstairs. When the kids got up, they said they heard Santa at 3:00 a.m. I'm like, you're pretty close.

I thought this would be apropos given the season.

I think I must have missed some news from the House of Gee ... Congratulations AND Merry Christmas!

It must suck having a birthday on Christmas.

Nothing reflects the true meaning of Christ's birth like using your Bonus Stars to get a venti cappuccino at Starbucks this morning

Hey, my store already has Valentine's Day stuff up! And the Frito-Lay distributor built a shipper with a Super Bowl theme last week as well.

Did the gift thing last night. Putting in a day's work today and hopefully will be home for Ravens-Niners.

It must suck having a birthday on Christmas.

But not nearly as much as not being able to hit a curve ball.

My daughter’s birthday is the 22nd. The worst part was she’d get so much stuff in a short period that she would forget about gifts she’d gotten.

That was when she was still young enough to want toys. As a 15-year-old, her wish list was clothing. I miss putting toys together on Christmas Eve!

Anyway, Merry Christmas to y’all. Thanks for making this place what it is - the good outweighs the bad.

Merry Christmas to all my SJ friends.

If you don’t happen to observe the day, Happy Festivus.

I had no idea Oz was that close to Tahoe.

The more you know …

That's our anniversary. Friday was No. 15.

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays from Newport, Oregon, the western terminus of US Highway 20. If I headed east for 2,700 miles I'd be less than a block from my childhood home in Western New York.

You could be waist-deep in the water at Sand Harbor and you'll still be 15 minutes from Lake Tahoe.

Lake Tahoe is a singularity all to itself.
