Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays?

I never know what to say to people at this time of the year. Some celebrate Christmas, some don’t, some get offended when you wish them a ‘Merry Christmas’, some don’t, and ‘Happy Holidays’ or ‘Seasons Greetings’ just sounds so ‘empty’ or ‘hollow’!!! LOL!!!

So all I say is THANKS TO EVERYONE here for a YET ANOTHER GREAT year of ‘interaction’!!!


(I cannot ‘lay claim’ to finding the picture myself i.e. it was sent to me by some or the other futures broker looking for my business. Don’t people LOOK at the domain names used in email addresses??? ‘deltastock.co.za’ in my case??? LOL!!! Anyway: I guess he meant well and, well, it’s a nice ‘jolly’ or ‘festive’ picture of ‘Charging Bull’)!!! LOL!!!

Regards,

Dale.

Good idea to open this thread Dale! :slight_smile:

Getting offended with a Merry Christmas? LOL! Their problem!

The holiday called “christmas” [I][B]as celebrated in this culture[/B][/I] has nothing to do with the coming of Christ.

It has everything to do with the coming of Santa Claus.

I think we all should start being honest about [I][B]what we really mean to say,[/B][/I] and start wishing each other

Merry Santamas

That way, Christians can stop practicing hypocrisy.

And Jews, Muslims, atheists and rational humanists can stop being offended.

Merry Christmas and thanks to all the contributors to Babypips.
I’ve enjoyed the education over the past two months, and look forward to more in 2012.
Keep up the entertainment as well Dale and Mr Buckscoder.

Wikipedia ‘Saturnalia’ for the Roman inspiration of Christmas.

If indeed Christmas is supposed to commemorate Jesus and ultimately his and our father God, this has been long forgotten by many.

Happy festivities and successful undertakings throughout 2012.

Just remember, if you have a roof over your head, money in your pocket, food in your belly a bed to go to at night and an internet connection, you are amongst around the top 10% of the World population.

That’s like saying ‘well: you’ve still got your health’ (after losing everything else)!!! Sorry!!! That doesn’t quite ‘cut it’ for me.

Call me ‘Scrooge McDuck’ if you like!!! LOL!!! ‘Bah Humbug’!!! LOL!!!

I’m not happy to be ‘amongst around the top 10% of the World population’ (and the fact that the ‘roof over my head’ leaks here and there when it rains, after paying a small fortune to some ‘lowlife’ not too many years ago to have it waterproofed, and my Internet connection is not the most reliable in the world, probably EXCLUDES me, right now, from that 10% ANYWAY)!!! LOL!!!

Dale.

Christs believe Jesus WAS already there, so it’s a holiday as reminder he was there, not like the Jews who believe he will come. And, if anybody else is offended, that’s their problem, no matter how it’s called. They show the offended card anyways, even if you would call it Mickey Mouse holiday. Fundamentalists will be never happy. Don’t go for their bait!

I go also with Dale here that clapping on my own shoulder how nice it is to have internet and a roof doesn’t solve any issue. Those who have issues are responsible for and not those who got brain washed by some pretenders who say you have to give what you have worked hard for into a black hole. People who don’t have it have not worked for, so it’s their responsibility. And, don’t believe it will be there for those who have worked for if more and more socialism is growing. Then we all will get poorer, because those who work for have to give then if they want it or not to those leechers who don’t like to work for. It’s like in trading - if you lose, don’t blame the winners! Look at your inner self!

Oh well, this was just a general reminder. Nothing against some presents for the people we love or a smart investment - sort of teaching how to catch fish and not just giving the fish away. Giving the fish away is dumb “investment”, based on pretending and does more harm than help. Even some African leaders said they don’t wish that pretending “help”. So, THINK, before you spend whatever thoughtless away to just get a nice feeling!

The mission is not to feed leechers. The mission is to find an exit from this planet as in 5 billion years it’s “game over”:

[B]If I’ll ever get rich I’ll rather spend my money to help the future generations than throwing my money thoughtless away for those who are not interested in doing their homework or feeding those organizations who live very well from human emotions![/B]

Dale you Scrooge McDuck, you Bah Humbug, you!

Dale, in that case you must only be in the top 11% then!

I’ll be 'round later with some Bitumen, so you can get back in the top 10 with the rest of us!

F*CK the Bitumen!!! I’ve told ya: THIS year ‘is it’. I want a NEW HOUSE!!! LOL!!!

But thanks for the offer!!! LOL!!! That’s right up there with ‘it’s the thought that counts’ or ‘well: you still have your health’!!! LOL!!! ROFLMAO!!!

And Buckscoder:

I wouldn’t so sure about the ‘5 billion years’ thing either. As I said to someone else (over at ‘that other horrible site’ if you can believe that): he’d better show his annual results before the end of NOVEMBER 2012 because according to the Mayans we only HAVE until December 2012!!! LOL!!! So this had better be a FU*KING good year!!! LOL!!!

And on the subject of what I’d do with MY money (I know that the two of you have seen this but, well, for those that haven’t, these are probably two of my best posts THIS year anyway of which I’m QUITE proud of I have to say):

I think that kind of ‘sums it (me) up’!!! LOL!!! If nothing else: I’m ‘consistent’!!! LOL!!!

Unfortunately those were posted in MAY for F*CK!!! I’m not that many more inches (dollars) closer to my ‘objectives’ now than I was then but I’ll tell you this much: NO MORE!!!

Sorry: just a bit of ‘Christmas Cheer’!!! LOL!!!

Regards,

Dale.

Edit:

By the way: if you really want to have some fun reading and have nothing better to do then read that whole thread!!! LOL!!!

Hmm, then it’s probably too late jumping aboard the new mars mission rocket to escape, lol. Albeit maybe the crew of the ISS will survive the inevitable and there is more stuff then to continue with the planet of apes sequels, lol. :smiley:

Well:

At the time of my typing this post it’s about 25-minutes before Santa arrives. So I thought I’d leave you all with YET ANOTHER ‘all time favorite’ of mine:
