Merry Christmas! (Or whatever adjective coupled with whatever midwinter holiday you prefer. Squamous Brumalia? I shan't judge.)

As always, have the best Christmas song.

Keep it civilised, unless the uncivilised alternative seems much too fun. Make affectionate noises in the direction of your loved ones. Have a generally happy day befitting a lovely bunch of folk who deserve nothing less. And if we keep getting these admirably consistent annual festive periods, you can do it all again next year. :twilightsmile:

Merry Christmas, Carabas. Hope those northern winters aren't too harsh on you.

The northern winter tantalised earlier with sub-Arctic conditions, but has since melted it all away in favour of dreichness. Northern weather gods are teasing prats.

Merry Christmas, and remember, be nice to each other or we'll all freeze to death.

Wait, sorry, wrong universe. :derpytongue2:

We've got a proper wintry weather here in Finland, which is very nice since last couple of Christmases have been wet, dark and miserable.

Happy Hearth's Warming and associated celebrations to you and yours, Carabas!

"Ogg invent fire with sticks and arduous grunting! Quick, Ugg, get more sticks while Ogg tend fire!"

"Bog off. Ogg didn't share mammoth with Ugg last week. Ogg can tend own fire."

"But both Ugg and Ogg freeze to death if so!"

"Ugg spiteful."

We're probably not too far off that universe.

I think we've received your Christmas by mistake, then. Take it back please, this doesn't fit the song words in the slightest.

Merry Christmas to the far north! :twilightsmile:

Merry Christmas!

Make affectionate noises in the direction of your loved ones.

This will go over perfectly :trollestia:

Aye, Happy Appropriate Holiday!

Merry Christmas!

I’m kind of fascinated that “Fairytale Of New York” is such an overwhelmingly popular Christmas song in the UK while being virtually unknown in the US. Some definite cultural differences at play there...

Merry Christmas! I wonder if a footnote excluding lascivious grunting would have been advisable.

Protoplasmic Yule to you too!

Merry Christmas! And it's unknown in the US? I'm surprised by that. We even put 'New York' in the title to try and lure you in.

Belay this, we're getting snow after all. I knew all these human sacrifices to the weather gods would pay off! :pinkiehappy:

Ah, the Scottish are making human sacrifices to pagan gods again. The more things change, the more they stay the same, am I right? Eh?

Keep peddling these sorts of vile, outdated stereotypes, sonny, and you're next to get your entrails offered up to Crom Cruach that our fields may never fall fallow.

You keep threatening and threatening to sacrifice me for weather- and farming-related favours from the gods, but you never follow through. What will it take, Carabas? How many times are we going to do this dance before you actually tie me to the altar and get to work? I'm a little sick of waiting after all this time.

Look, man, you know I suffer from performance anxiety about this sort of thing. Just because you're at ease with flint knives and stone altars and dancing thrice widdershins round said altars come the Hunter's Moon doesn't mean you have to rub it in.

You're never going to get over this anxiety of yours if you don't confront it.

Is that Tom Lehrer in the video?

Not as the male lead, no - that's Shane MacGowan. Are you seeing a lookalike in the background?
