Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

First topic message reminder :


I think this is a very beautiful version of Carol of the Bells . . .

Such a beautiful season, I just wish we had snow, the old fashioned fluffy stuff that stays around for a while making the world quiet and bright.

Is it just me, or would any others like to find Alex Jones wrapped up as a gift under the tree on Christmas Day...?             

Anyway, Happery Xmas to our favourite Collision - No, coalition.  Whatever.

A UKIP Nativity Play would never work.

Where are they going to find three wise men...?

Quite so, Phil.  But no such problem in casting The Ass ....

Last chance to go on the computer for this year. All the best and I trust and pray you will have a wonderful Christmas and an even better new year.

Same to you, PG - see you next year

To everyone on the best forum going, with all my heart to you all I hope you all have a lovely Christmas, and a happy new year.
As I shall be celebrating Christmas with my daughter today, which will be very happy for me to see her smiles as she tears all her prezzies open, and for the theists please enjoy your services and masses or whatever and say a prayer please for the ill ones we know from the forum as I will even as an atheist take care folks.

Wakey wakey rise and shine folks, you are not still shopping are you?

And a merry happy whatever to you too

Nice one Ivan, thank-you boatlady also had a brill time with my daughter, who could not get over the laptop I got her for xmas amongst other things being faster than her mums, now she is happy.

An especially warm Christmas greeting to all of those kind people who read my stream-of-consciousness burbling without feeling any corresponding urge to post a commentary.

OW we love your replies as they are so informative, and I have learnt a lot from them, have a damn good Christmas yourself.

Yes, Happy Christmas everyone, and a peaceful 2105.

I think my time on these threads is about up, as I sense I have become something of a merchant of doom and an unwelcome pessimist for those believers in  a Labour victory. Been a lot of fun and I wish you all the very best.

Don't ever think that please Phil, as I would miss your other version of thinking, as a lot of posters are very optimistic at the moment you always have to wait until the march polls for a proper view on the outlook ok merry xmas and happy new year, and stay around.

Have a wonderful 2015 everyone

Same to you boatlady, and your family of course.

Bah! Humbug!

Keep the noise down !

I can barely hear myself being miserable...

But, Hark! Hear the Herald Angels sing:

"Iain Duncan Smith's 'threat to resign' moves closer as George Osborne calls his bluff over further welfare cuts."

Do they know it's Christmas after all?

EEK! Not quite ready.



Kids! I think Aunty Shirly would love our company this Christmas ( I do miss her anyway)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas - or Winterval - or just a happy holiday (please delete according to your preference!) to all Cutting Edge members and their loved ones.

Maybe this church has captured the true spirit of Christmas?

Yes ----

Hope everyone has a splendid time
I'm telling everyone to go to the free Open Christmas rather than be alone and cold

Merry winter Solstice to everyone else. Enjoy your holidays folks. The Tories haven't taken them off us, yet.

Let me add my best wishes to all for the Festive Season and 2016 - and may it mean to you what you wish it to.

And to any Tories who happen to be looking in - sod off...

Just a quick Merry Christmas to all our readers.........

Twice today have heard comments about how I really look........Ho,Ho,Ho........

Have a great day - not working, I hope?

A warm Thank you to all my friends here on Cutting Edge for your seasonal messages. Sincerely appreciated, as was also our decision this year to stop making excuses to explain hiding at home every Christmas. Patronising as Original Begetter over the unified celebrations of four generations of OWs proved rather satisfying. Two children and three grandchildren each have their own established business, apparently maintaining a lifestyle to which I have always aspired myself. Perhaps they did listen to a little of my advice after all! The several great-grandchildren were never still for long enough to be counted accurately.

Oh you patriarch! I'm surprised you've resisted it for so long
Glad to hear it was a good experience

It's always rewarding to see the kids do well in their chosen fields, and most seem so busy that a Christmas break is the only time to catch up and reflect.

Just one thing puzzles me about the references to grandchildren and beyond, though - I felt sure that OW had told us he was only 37....

donkey's years.

DEFINITION
1. BRITISH informal

a very long time:
"we've been close friends for donkey's years"

Somewhat belatedly, I've just got around to putting up this year's Cliff Richard calendar....

Aaaaarghh!!!

At Christmas, should our thoughts go out to those unharmed by the austerity they've imposed on the most vulnerable in our society?

Gosh, it's a tricky job to pick the most detestable out of that selection...

At Christmas, I prefer only to think benevolent thoughts - so I'm going to try not to think about that gang of reprobates

How time flies, a lot seems to have happened since our exchange of pleasantries a year ago, but I'm pleased to return the seasonal greetings from Cutting Edge folk again in 2016.  (That was the Year that was, it's over let it go!)

If you're out and about this weekend perhaps wining, dining, checking the shops for bargains etcetera, please do one simple thing:

Be nice to the people there who are working so that you can play.

Compliments of the Season to all and lets hope 2017 proves to be a much happier year all round
