My daughter picked me up some greeting cards for my team here at work. They said peace on earth on the front but Merry Christmas on the inside. I hope I don't offend anyone.

I included a candy cane that is corn syrup free from Whole Foods. Hopefully the sugar cane growers also received a fair wage, that the cane doesn't contain GMO materials, and is cage-free and hormone-free.

Alright, I shall await your further clarification then. Plenty of time to sort it out, of course, since

Merry Christmas is fine but this peace stuff has to go.

Don't worry, it always does.

Many wishes for the holiday season to all those I met on this site talking about various topics was hoping to be useful but the most important thing for the company that raises something more futile, hello wishing still many beautiful things that make us happier.

[MrAce]

Yes, Merry Christmas to all my forum friends and happy holidays to everyone and Jillybean. Although I am not Christian, I enjoy this time of the year very much. I wish we had snow in Houston TX, as we did in Santa Fe NM every this time of the year, but I still love it.

[onoway]

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it and a gleeful holiday for those who don't.

[blackshoe]

I echo the sentiments of others - and point out to MrAce that there's no snow here in Rochester NY, either.

[barmar]

No white Xmas in New England, either. It will be mostly rain and drizzle. I think they're expecting snow in the mid-west, though.

[kenberg]

My very best wishes to everyone. May we find ways to make our lives and the lives of others a little better.

No snow here in Maryland either.. Before winter is through, we will probably have enough of it to keep me busy.

Yeah Merry Christmas to everyone on BBO except for the 154 people on my enemies list and the 10 people I've blocked on the forums.

[PassedOut]

Happy holidays to all. For those pining for snow, we have some extra here in Upper Michigan, available for the taking.

[blackshoe]

heh.

[Trinidad]

Best wishes to all. We are enjoying a white Christmas in Central Finland. (Just about enough snow to make it white.)

Some fog in Huntington Beach, CA tonight. Will likely take the Clayton 5 on a bike ride along the water tomorrow.

Have learned to enjoy winter here with the 70 degree weather and silver sun.

Merry Christmas. Hope your 2015 is fantastic.

[diana_eva]

Merry Christmas everyone!

Sunny and warm outside, which is quite unusual for Bucharest this time of the year.

[calabres]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all BBO stuff, and a special season greetings to all Unibridge Club Members and TDs Aurora, Eva 47, Golfermike and Aclegend. Please be happy. IT'S AN ORDER.
