Wishing you all a joy-filled Christmas!

Merry CHRISTmas and Happy Hannukah to all. Anyone else who is offended can kiss my @ss
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah (the rest of it) to all!
Merry Christmas and remember why we celebrate the season. To our military personnel far from home, take care and come back home soon!

“This is Sparta!”
Merry CHRISTmas all.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Sorry, have to say it. A better translation of the verse would be…”peace on earth, towards men of good will.” Makes more sense especially when we think of our military around the world doing what they do for us. And for those that can’t do it without them. They are the best of us on this Christmas. God Bless them and God Bless America.
Merry Christmas to all, and to America, a hope that we regain our senses in time to celebrate the next one.
A Mighty Christmas to everyone. May the Spirit of Christ be you this day. And, to all of my Hebrew friends, Happy Hanukah!
A blessed Christmas to you and yours.
I’ve always preferred the way my father used to phrase it
This has been the most blessed Christmas ever; but I say that every year. Good friends, great family, loyal dogs.
The Durangodarlin family wishes all of you a very Merry Christmas, and an entertaining 2009!
For unto us a Child is given!
Emanuel, God is with us. Amen!
Merry Christmas to all and especially to our troops holding the line for us both at home and overseas. We love the men and women who have pledged their lives to protect us. God bless you all!
You are all special people!
LORD JESUS, today we celebrate, worship, and thank you for leaving the glories of heaven to come to Earth in order to accomplish our salvation and save us from ourselves. You’ve revealed yourself, God the Father, and God the Spirit to us so that we might be forgiven and redeemed from sin. You demonstrated your infinite love for us 2000 years ago on a cross in an act which is the single most significant event in human history. You’ve blessed our country beyond our wildest dreams. You’ve given us the finest military folks in the world, and we ask you to bless them and their families above all on this great Christmas Day!!! Thank you, LORD, for the innumerable people, including our friend Michelle, both known and unknown, those who live famous lives and those who live in obscurity who stand up for you and all that is righteous and true every day of the year! Help us to never forsake you!
Merry Christmas, Mrs. Malkin, to you and your family.
Happy Hanukkah to the Malkin clan :-p
And merry christmas to everyone
Merry Christmas to Michelle, her family, and her community of readers. May peace be with you all.
God and Sinners reconciled.
Merry Christmas friends. God has always been good to me regardless of how dumb I often am.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!
And thank you for being there for us Michelle.
Cathy B – great song choice, Straight No Chaser is probably the most talented group recording today.
Merry Christmas!
–But… but this sound wasn’t sad. Why, this sound sounded glad. Every Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small, was singing without any presents at all. Obama hadn’t stopped Christmas from coming, it came. Somehow or other, it came just the same.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukah to all!
Merry Christmas Malkin fans and Mrs Malkin and her family.
O’Holy Night
Merry Christmas Michelle to you and your family…..this is just the best day ever!
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you all. In a time when there is alot frustrating about this world, it is blessed to know there is so much good, and so many good people! Just reading some of the blog entries here, warms my heart.
Sorry for the extra sappiness, but just yesterday, we found out the baby my wife is carrying is a boy! I just hope that I raise him (and my 3 year old daughter for that matter) to be good, upstanding people that know right from wrong, not unlike Ms. Malkin and many of the contributors to this site.
Have a great Christmas everybody!
Merry Christmas Happy Hanukkah and or a Happy Festivus.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
These are the words that provide a measure of comfort to those who serve so that others do not have to.
As Orwell supposedly said: “People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”
We do this willingly, knowing the price to be paid if we fail. But we shall not fail.
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
Luke 2:1-20
I can’t believe everyone takes a day off to celebrate the birth of the pagan sun god, and then say something about Jesus just to make themselves feel better.
It’s time to get back to the real meaning of Christmas and leave it to the heathen worshippers of false gods. If you want to remember Jesus’ birth, why not do it on April 17th, His birthday?
Merry Christmas everyone. You too Bruce!
Thanks Vince!
Re: Bruce
Because this is the day that is TRADITIONALLY celebrated. If that doesn’t work for you, you are free to go to work and ask your boss for April 17th off in lieu of….
PS – Born or Arisen? None of us were actually there, and what with glow-bull warming, who knows…maybe it was 12/25.
I know those folks to the north of me are really irritated about the heat that GLOW-BULL warming has dropped on them. Especially that below zero stuff that they cannot even feel.
Off with you now laddie. Go play on the freeway or something.
The day we celebrate Christs birth doesn’t really matter..what matters is living for Christ the rest of the year round.
Merry Christmas to all, at home and abroad; May peace be with us all in 2009.
Amen to all of the above.
May 2009 find all of you healthy and with the vigor to fight the intellectual battle to put USA in the right directdion again.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas!
God Bless Us All, Everyone!
Happy Holidays from the Religion of Peace!
Resist the Two-State “Solution”
I want to wish EVERYONE, even those that find Christmas and Christianity offensive, a very Merry and Blessed Christmas.
And thank you Michelle for allowing me to comment on your site. It truly is an honor to be associated, in this tiny little way, with such a wonderful, smart, talented, beautiful and brave American woman, wife and mother. God bless you and yours, and may this coming year and all the years ahead continue to bring you health, wealth and happiness every day of every year.
I’ve often wondered: why does the King James version omit the latter portion of Luke 2:14?
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.” (NASB)
Consider what Jesus later says in Luke 12:49-52: “I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished! Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division; for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.”
Blessed Christmas to all

I have to admit, I have been pleasantly surprised as to how many clerks at the various stores I was forced to go to yesterday for what little I could afford, actually said, “Merry Christmas” and not “Happy Holidays”.
This is the difference between living in the largest (or is it second largest) Republican County in California, and living in any number of Liberal/Democrat ones.
It was to the point that I actually found myself thanking one of them for doing so…but by then I was tired anyway…and yes, that includes several clerks at the “Evil” WalMart.
Maybe things are starting to swing back the way they should be.
After all, I have never understood people who would be offended by a holiday that promotes joy, peace, love, brotherhood, sharing, giving and everything that is good in humanity. I always felt that is spoke volumes about the person who found it offensive.
Of course I also have a really hard time understanding the concept of hiding/denying the name of the very holiday people are celebrating.
When people become enraged and/or offended by the fact that Cinco de Mayo is celebrated in this country in a big way, maybe then I will lighten up. However, since more people seem to celebrate a foreign countries independence than they do this country’s…well, is it really so shocking?
And to think someday we will see him face to face.
Until then, God Bless You.
To Ms. Malkin & Family, readers and fellow commenters. Merry Christmas!!!

I appreciate the succinct sentiment which Michelle expressed above. Thanks to Michelle and to my fellow Christmas commentators for wishing even me a Merry Christmas. I know no one was addressing me by moniker, but I’ll take what I can get. I wish each of you here a Merry Christmas, too.
This elusive notion we call good will is something I wish everyone would practice. Please be good to one another every day, not just today. I’ll spare those reading this from the original platitudinous gibberish I ended up deleting. It would be mean to subject others to one’s own cynicism at length on Christmas.
My last Christmas wish would be for thirty million dollars a month to be given to me, tax free, in a Swiss bank account. Not holding my breath with that one.
Thanks (again) for letting me waste more virtual space here, and for listening. That’s all I’ll say this time. Take care, everyone.
I barely made it before midnight, but Merry CHRISTmas to all here at the MM site. May God Bless and keep you everyone.

Congratulations! That is great news. I hope all goes well for all concerned.
tamarah180 (#47) extracted the news story about Christians living in fear in the Gaza Strip. It never fails to amaze me how little Muslims pay attention to their own religion. Muhammad taught that his followers were to respect the “People of the Book”–meaning Christians and Jews. (Moses and Jesus were send by God to mankind, as was Muhammad, according to the Koran.) (For that matter, the term “infidel” in Islam is only supposed to apply to those who are not People of the Book.)
I am not trying to start a theological discussion–this is not the right forum, or at least thread, and I don’t have the scholarship. I am bemoaning the dangerous ignorance of Hamas and their ilk.
I hope that had a good Christmas and are now ready to head into the new year.
Lord God,
Please save our nation, the United States of America… In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Yes RetFireman is DOES speak volumes about them-and the human condition is general since the Fall of Man. If God is God and Jesus is the Son of God, the Savior of the Whole Human Race then these bitter people ARE Not their own little autonomous god like beings they wish to be. Christianity is their one big threat and one big fear-hate. They do not want to hear they have sins that need to be forgiven and repented of.
I do believe anyone who has truly read the Gospel understands Peace on Earth Goodwill Toward Men, God and Sinner Reconciled is actually is full agreement with Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division; for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.”`
Those people who do not understand this because they have not been told are what we know as a Mission Field. That is the Great Commission.
Those educated people who have been taught the Truth, who hold Divinity degrees, who know what the Gospel teaches and yet deny and teach, preach and state otherwise are the Blasphemers. They blaspheme and deny the Holy Ghost and their sins WILL NOT BE FORGIVEN.
Matthew 12:22-33; Mark 3:22-30; Luke 11:14-20 with 12:10.
We can see these Anti-Christs on various television specials on “the Lost Gospels”, “Jesus was a political activist”, “Did Jesus do Mary Magdalena”; many of the popular magazine and newspapers just love quoting these Christ Deniers with such articles as “the Real Jesus”, The Pass Over Plot” and such. And so we see three against two and two against three.”`
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Especially to those still serving and my fellow veterans: Have a good and safe Christmas and Happy New Year.
Having read Andrew Sullivan’s most recent anti-Christmas drivel, I think it must have been written during one his particularly bad drunks. It seems to me he plagiarized Dr. Seuss – Sullivan should rename his column as, “The Grinch Monologues.” Unfortunately for all, Sullivan’s writing is a hate filled cipher leading to the conclusion that atheists are truly nothing more than food for worms – but only by their choice!
I have it on a very good authority that Jesus was born at Noon August 21, 7BC, however the time and date appears to be not as significant as the message that we all of us the children of God.

Hey there fellow Infidels. God bless you, stay safe! I hope you had a nice Christmas, and have a very Happy New Year too. Have fun!

MERRY HOLIDAYS
we all have our special ones
drink responsibly
world economy depends
on massive celebrations
.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
outlaw Christmas
don’t upset atheists
makes them question their faith
.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe hates
Christmas celebrations
leads to Muslim Apostates
who then get death threats
.
for the holidays
we must get together
- before they are over
ancient feelings
days will get longer again
