Frosty, you're supposed to melt in the sun, not burn my house down!

By the way Merry Christmas to all who say Merry Christmas, and to those who say Happy Holiday I say, Merry Christmas.

On that note, a Merry Christmas to all.

To preserve my sanity and to prevent crankiness for the rest of today and tomorrow, I usually go 100% off the air. No web, no TV, no nothing.

Have big fun!

I almost bought one, but the price they wanted was insane. Good thing I didn't. Sounds like it would have cost me a fortune in fire repairs! I ended up getting the musical gingerbread house.

Merry Christmas everyone!

A very Merry Christmas to all on SDA, and especially to our hostess - Ms. Kate.

Is DND aware of this potential?
Merry Christmas to all, especially Kate, for all the hard work you put in over the year. You help keep us sane (I think). I hope you're taking a bit of a Christmas break.
And to all a good night.

Put a metal container of water or oil behind the globe and the magnification of the Sun's rays will heat the metal container and give off heat later when the sun goes down. This will help take you off the grid a bit thereby help save the planet and get you a possible Gore/Suzuki award for buying into the scam and being a good little green soldier.

Run right back with something that will be a one of a kind rarity once all the returned items are destroyed. Or they start showing up on E-bay.

Who would pay 100 bucks for one of those? Yecch....tacky,

I'm not above being amused by a little black humor.

Still, I have to say that it has become all too fashionable to be cynical about this special time of year.

That's why I'm here to recommend generosity in place of cynicism.

Hello everyone, I'm Bernie Madoff.

And I feel very emotionally affected by the financial dislocation that has occurred our economy.

Many of you are having trouble getting onto the society pages this year. One fellow who regularly stares out at you from the society page so frequently standing by the champagne bowl in white tie feels left out.

A very smashing lady I know who's posed in her haute couture gowns by almost every complicated ice sculpture ever carved is going to be forced to wear last year's gown to a fundraiser for global warming.

Well. Her staff is appalled, but I am appalled as well.

Therefore, for a special one-month period I am going to open my hedge fund to new investors.

I'm going to call this opportunity The Global Warming Charity Investors' Option.

You'll be pleased to know that your position will be taken alongside some of the most prestigious investors in the world.

And we're even going to throw in a complimentary laser Santa Claus for everyone who invests one million or more.

So don't feel despair or cynicism or black humor at this sacred time of year. I, Bernie Madoff, raise a glass of champagne wishes and caviar dreams to all new investors who join me on this exclusive voyage to prosperity.

"And the next time they snap us, you find you're on the Rotagravure..."

Could these possibly be fastened to the roof of a sub compact and used to supply motive power?
A merger with GM would allow these two 'blue chip' firms to be called Hallmark Motors...Naw...sounds too much like a used car dealership on the rough side of town...y'know the kind that spins back the odometer.
To all a Merry Christmas and a prosperous and spiritual New Year.
And special thanx to you Ms McMillan for all the energy you put forth with your site. Have a good one Kate.

...just when you thought it was safe about Global Warming happening outside...

And here's one for some nostalgia - Old Loves and Auld Lang Syne

Feliz Navidad!!

And Hallmark be darned.

whew...good thing theu caught that in time...that's right up there with evil Santas and sinister reindeer...killer snowmen...this holiday seethes with evil/dangers only society's elite safety 'SS' can sniff out.

Sounds like an Islamic plot to me. Sell snow globes to the infidels and watch their sorry asses burn to a crisp. Insideous I tell ya. Insideous. Any chance we can get some desert globes manufactured? Turnabout is fair play.

Maybe they can sell it to Austin Powers!

Definitely one of my favourite scenes.

Merry Christmas Kate! Thank-you for putting out a first-class blog with first-class entertainment!

Merry Christmas, Kate

Merry Christmas to everyone! Kate, special greetings for all your hard work.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO THE SDA NATION.

GOD BLESS US EVERYONE.

Merry Christmas all, and God Bless.

To Kate & the SDA regulars & irregulars - both those with whom I usally agree and especially those with whom I heartily disagree - Merry Christmas! I wish you and yours all the best this Christmas, and good fortune in 2009.

Be well, everyone.

Hallmark reinvents the laser ... and overcharges for it, too!

And a Blessed and Joyful Christmas to everyone here! 'Tis the Season to be jolly--and remember: Christmas lasts for 12 days, until Epiphany on January 6. Celebrate every one!

Merry Christmas Kate. Thank you for all you have done this year with your blog. Have a peaceful, joyful day with your loved ones.
