Merry Christmas!!

It's His Birthday, but we got The Gift. Thank You Lord for wonderful friends and especially Miss Lucianne.

Merry Christmas to everyone. A big thank you to Lucianne and the staff.

I'm cheating a bit, since I'm out in CA and it's not yet midnight, but I've got a long night of wrapping gifts ahead of me.

Just finished watching "Holiday Inn" and have "It's a Wonderful Life" to go.

I pray for a peaceful Christmas for our troops.

A very Merry and Blessed Christmas to all L.dotters...

Merry Christmas from west central Michigan. May God Bless America and all of us that live here.

Whew! Just got done laying out Santa's gifts to my kids (shhhh..don't tell 'em), and (of course) eating his cookies too. Hope all ldotters have a cool Yule!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I stayed up just so I could post early. Like Saguni, I'll be back in the morning after I have my baking started... Save me some Spam, Igor.

This year I feel more than ever as if l.com is a virtual family, since I'm single again and can use the party. :-) Think Santa could bring me a non-leftist even though I live in the People's State of MA?

THIS IS THE ACLU - Shut this Christmas site down right NOW

LOL

Only kidding - peace and joy to all who enter here. Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, and whatever it is in Polish......

Nice purple trunks Igor - what no cans of SPAM on the beach!!! Heavens to Murgatroid!

And from the almost popular and nearly adored Mamamoose, from the sunkist land of the sidewinder and the gila monster,
comes the traditional greeting.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

and we hope Sidney Clause is good to all of you this year.

If I was clever, or smart even, this would have been posted in festive colors. Just visualize it, blinking and flashing, wiggling and waving, a masterpiece of html. Beautiful, no?

Merry Christmas from freshly powdered North Central Ohio!

Thank you, Lucianne and Staff and LDotters for my #1 source of news and commentary!

Am I allowed to keep listening to and singing with "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" by Perry Como and the Fontaine Sisters, well into the New Year?

Other happy favorites: "Christmas Cookies" by George Strait and The Judd's version of "Walking in a Winter Wonderland."

S'pose I'd better finish up wrapping gifts, now.

Merry Christmas to all fellow Ldotters and wonderful staff. Thank you for another great year, Miss Lucianne and Amy. I don't know where I'd be if not for this great site. Seriously. We have a just barely White Christmas here on the North Shore of Chicago, and will spend a leasurely day with our children on Jesus's Birthday. I hope everyone has a wonderful day with those they love. I'll check in later I'm sure when things get goin' and the liquor starts a flowin.' Someone have a Mamosa ready for me at 0-Eight Hundred. Thank you in advance.

This is from one of my favorite Christmas songs:

"A ray of hope flickers in the sky

A tiny star lights up way up high

All across the land dawns a brand new morn

This comes to pass when a child is born."

Merry Christmas, everybody.

It's Christmas already - and I've been standing out by the curb waiting for the pink caddy to come by and give me a ride.

What happened? Has it been in storage so long that Thomcat couldn't get it started? Or does it only do the southern swing and doesn't come up north.

Guess I'm going to have to walk to the party.

Bummer...

Well, since I'm obviously going to be late -
I'll just go ahead and wish everyone in the Ldot family a very Merry Christmas right now.

Merry Christmas Lucianne, Staff, Ldotters one and all!

Home of the

Greetings from Hyde Park, New York. Would anyone like a cute little christmas tree cookie? I brought plenty. When does the swing dancing start?

Merry Christmas to all of my fellow L-Dotters. I pray that this upcoming year will be especially joyful to y'all and your loved ones, and even the site pests. May you all find truth very soon. It seems that last year people posted recipes for food quite a bit. I can't cook, so here is a recipe for a good martini, courtesy of those enamored with the one and only James Bond. I raise a glass, say Cheers to all L-Dotters, and tell all of you, that, despite his problems, our President is quite special. Merry Christmas!!!!

Hi, everyone ... where can I put this big platter of rum balls? Thank you for the party, Ms. Lucianne -- now and every day of the year!

Merry Christmas to all my like-minded LDot cyberfriends!

And to Landshark: Did I see you in Key West late last October?

I wish Rat Patrol would get out of his Rat mode and into his Teddy Kennedy or Ditka personas, and put one thread's disagreements to bed. Maybe if we open the Chivas, Teddy will come--with a Santa's hat on.

-Karen

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!...from the Blue Ridge of N.C.

Thanks so much, Ms. Lucianne, for opening the door a little early, so those of us who wish can bring in our sleeping bags, pillows, oreo cookies, glass of warm milk, and have a nice, safe, cozy slumber party :-)

...and let those who join us in the morning gently wake us singing Christmas carols...

...THEN let the pillow fights begin!!!


Merry Christmas to all... and to all a goodnight... {yawn}

Just finished setting up the presents under the tree, now my wife and I are going to settle down for a long winter's nap.

God Bless to all my fellow L-dotters from Western New York!

Merry CHRISTmas from Las Vegas! Especially to my mom, Deedles, who has been working so much lately that I haven't talked to her since before Thanksgiving. Have a wonderful day off, and note to God: thank you for the gift of Jesus! The best gift you and I could ever ask for! Amen!

A Blessed Merry Christmas to one and all
from the beautiful snowy hills of West Virginia. May God Bless our President and his wonderful wife Laura and the rest of the family. May God keep our brave troops safe in dangerous places as they work to protect us. Miss Lucianne enjoy being Grandma this Christmas. My best to my friend Pat.

Merry Christmas from Columbus OH!!

We just cleaned up the mess from a huge buffet and a joyful time of gift exchanging and playing games.... all the kiddies and their kiddies have gone home now... and we will go to bed and NOT set the alarm....

See you tomorrow(ooops.. it's already tomorrow!)

Blessings on all L.dotters and the queen herself, Lucianne! Love to all!

JER, I don't know where that car is, or even if Thomcat is sober enough to drive, but I couldn't fly the Oreck due to the terror alert being elevated. Said something to the effect that the silhouette we make is too astonishing and wierd to be allowed during a Number 4. Hummmmmpfh sez I and offered to get out the corn broom but was told bluntly that only one was allowed and that slot was filled by a PIAPS and that she had rank over me! Not likely, sez I, but if looks count, then I could accept that she is way uglier than me. So I drove.
I drover the Geezermobile. I got a new one. Mashed part of the right front bumper trying to get off the taxiway at
Skyharbor. There was some kinda trouble with some french airplanes, or maybe they were just french looking.

Mamamoose.

Merry Christmas Ldots.
God Bless us every one.

FOR YOU

My Christmas Rosary I say
For you upon this blessed day;
Each prayer a precious Christmas Rose
To please the Baby Child, who knows
How many joys I wish for you;
May every one of them come true!

For all our troops this Blessed Night.
THE STABLE

The winds were scornful,
Passing by;
And gathering Angels
Wondered why

A burdened Mother
Did not mind
That only animals
Were kind.

For who in all the world
Could guess
That God would search out
Loneliness.

I believe our country of the U.S.A. is entitled to still celebrate a Christian Christmas. May God Bless you all!!!

Mamamoose just surfed by. I always meant to ask her, and this is the appropriate forum to do so, why she didn't tape off those Channel 17 Update Early In The Morning episodes from the late 1970s that we "cableheads" used to stay up and watch (no matter HOW late it was on) because they were so darn funny?!???!?

Merry Christmas dear friends at Lucianne.com. Thanks for helping make 2003 a better year for us. We're counting on all our Ldot buddies to get us through the coming election year.
It's time for Santa to come and set out the presents. The Santa who comes to our house doesn't wrap any presents. He just sets things out so the children can see everything when they come into the room. Wonder if we took a survey how many people wrap Santa versus just putting presents under the tree. Certainly easier for Santa to spread out unwrapped presents and then drink his Coke and eat his cookie before leaving.
God bless all of you, our troops overseas, and our wonderful country. SantaMunc

Merry Christmas to all from............Well, HOLLYWOOD, of course!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season! I am so blessed to be able to participate in such a site. Ldotters and Ldot Staff are simply the best. Many, Many thanks, Miz Lucianne, our wonderful benefactress!

I'm afraid I can't stay but a minute. I've got to finish packing so we can leave bright and early in the morning. I shall be sans internet for a week (sob!), unless I can wiggle my way onto someone's computer ....

Perhaps there will be a party for New Year's, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ??????????????

Anyhow, enjoy time with friends and family this year. Best wishes from our house to the Lucianne.com house.

Probably because I don't know how to do it, Gern. My computer rig never has all the accessories working at the same time. Big Moose is the tech man and I am being neglected since he set up fancy rig in the Moose Cave. The funniest program on earth was News Early in the Morning. Did'nt ever know for sure when but it was worth the lost sleep. I whined to Big Moose about this rig fixing just this morning. I will follow up tomorrow. Maybe he will educate me so I can tape them I still have them in Favs.

Mamamoose

Pam, remember to take your Lcom password with you when you go away so that if you gain access to another computer, you can post replies. Safe travels.

Mamamoose, the pink caddy has been ''in waiting'' for such a long time. It needs new tires, and some windshield washer solution, a good dusting off, and it'll be ready to roll! (Better check the radiator, too, just in case.)

I am packed and ready, and I'll be waiting on the corner with my portable ice chest (full of Mango Tango's) as soon as y'all let me know when you'll be arriving. (Anybody sign up to bring the port-a-potty, yet?)

Where's pomom and Lawsy0? ( I'll bet they're still up celebrating Christmas without us.) And, Thomcat is probably takin' a nap. Earlybird will be starting her day soon, (she likes to be the first to get the worm) and MFCB is probably still pourin' a few. And, Goatessa will be out milkin' dem goats at the crack of dawn.

Com'mon, y'all! Let's get this show on the road!

To Our Special Friends
We wish you a most joyous and truly wonderful Christmas, and a successful, prosperous, and happy New Year!

The last time everybody took a Caddie ride, yotty got left behind at a service station somewhere. S'pose she's still there? Seems to me it was raining. And 'Pie was jealous cause it never rains in Arizona anymore and the beetles got the trees so she needed more Mango Tangos and.... well....you know how those things go.

I still have packages to wrap to carry to #1 son's tomorrow (CA time) but they'll have to wait til morning. Not every day you get to take a Caddie ride.......that one tire sure looks spongey, though....

Mamamoose, Channel 17 Update Early In The Morning will probably be available soon on DVD, according to Bill Tush dot com. Anyway...hilarity awaits; that was the best ad-libbed show of the late 1970s, SCTV could not have done it better, and...Merry Christmas!!

'Pie, those two miscreants, Lawsy and Pom, are out in the Big Easy in realtime
GAMBLING and DRINKIN' and carousing HARD. They will pobably come rolling in here about dawn, all sorry eyed. They had an awful bunch of quarters when they started out. High rollers, them two.
I drove on over here in the Geezer, but if the official car gets running and has an official driver, we can hook the Geezer on to it and store the musical instruments and porta potty in there.
We can go round up the stragglers and look for terrorists along the way. I'm gonna have to take an old woman nap now but I'll just go find my air bed that I leave here and plug in the pump. Convenient. Ah, here it is. Goodnight, and try to keep it down a little, will ya?

Oh, yeah, #45. Thanks for the reminder. I'll tuck it in with my socks and nighties.

This party sounds like it's going to be a blast. I hope I can crash the party in the next few hours (before clean-up ... UGH ... that can be such a mess!).

Just back from midnight mass.

Merry Christmas to all fellow L-Dotter's. May God bless our troops, and our dear President, George Bush.

Merry Christmas to all from Northern California!! God Bless every one of you and thank you all so much for the grand time I've had here this last year. This is where I come for the stright scoop. God bless and keep our troops, and all involved with our country's safety and security. Be back tomorrow.

Just keep Mamamoose away from the lampshades. I wasn't there, but I've heard stories....

Wishing all LDotters a beautiful, blessed Christmas. The indomitable, unsinkable Californians have high hopes for a glorious new year and will be happy to share it with you all...

A very Merry Christmas to all! It is such a blessing to have this site to come to - thank you Lucianne and staff! Now for a little sleep!

Merry Christmas fellow Ldotters. I thought I'd share this nice little Christmas gift. Tonight, instead of going to my regular church for midnight Mass, I decided to go to an early evening Mass at a church in a small town not far from here. It was a nice Christmasy service and at the end, the priest was thanking the musicians, altar servers, lectors, etc. Then, he also thanked a young soldier, home on leave from Iraq, who was at the Mass with his parents. The young man couldn't have been much more than 20 years old. The priest asked him to stand and the congregation applauded, but when the young man sat back down, he looked up to see the congregation beginning to stand, one by one, still applauding, until the entire room was standing. The young man blushed and his beaming mother wrapped her arm around him and hugged his neck. When the service was over, this humble soldier had trouble leaving the church for all the people stopping to shake his hand and say ''thank you''.

Merry Xmas from the State of Delaware (Yes, there are actually a few non libs living here in the Smoke Free, Sales Tax Free State)

Home of the NCAA Div I-AA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP Blue Hens!!!!!!!

Man, it feels great to say that.....

Here's to you and yours-- Have a great day everyone. And to all a good night.

Earlybird, I thought I told ya to keep it down. But Merry Christmas to you anyway and to all your family and all your friends. Blessed friends like you are golden so it's ok if you say bad stuff like 'lampshades' in proximity with my name. Now keep it down.

For all those celebrating Christmas, a favorite from my younger days. In 1941, Winston Churchill came to America shortly after Pearl Harbor. He particpated in the lighting ceremony of the National Christmas Tree, and made a short address. Some excerpts:

"...I spend this anniversary and festival far from my country, far from my family, and yet I cannot truthfully say that I feel far from home. Whether it be the ties of blood on my mother's side, or the friendships I have developed here over many years of active life, or the commanding sentiment of comradeship in the common cause of great peoples who speak the same language, who kneel at the same altars and, to a very large extent, pursue the same ideals; I cannot feel myself a stranger here in the center and at the summit of the United States...

"fellow soldiers in the cause, this is a strange Christmas Eve. Almost the whole world is locked in deadly struggle. Armed with the most terrible weapons which science can devise, the nations advance upon each other..."

(To be concluded)

OMG! I forgot about the "Geezer". Great! Now, (with the extra room) we can bring all those jellied SPAM balls for Igor. (I got the recipe from the RedNeckHomeJournal). I'll make up a double batch. And, please, (as earlybird said), forget the lampshade. OK?

Ho BOY! It's gonna be a great Christmas, isn't it?

To the carousers, the browsers, the gift-preparers, the travelers, the late-night workers & the hostess, & everybody else & the cat with the lime peel on its head,

Merry Christmas & good night from Woodside, Queens.

Merry Christmas Ldotters, from central California.

I hope twinklesdaughter has a dance saved the traditional dance for me again this year. It wouldn't be Christmas without it.

(whispering so it won't wake up mamamoose...)

RUserious, that story is so precious... thanks for sharing it! Truly, if we could applaude ALL our 'boys', the sound would last for months, eh??

"...Ill would it be for us this Christmastide if we were not sure that no greed for the lands or wealth of any other people, no vulgar ambitions, no morbid lust for material gain at the expense of others had led us to the field. Ill would it be for us if that were so...here, amid all these tumults, we have tonight the peace of the spirit in each cottage home and in every generous heart. Therefore we may cast aside, for this night at least, the cares and dangers which beset us and make for the children an evening of happiness in a world of storm...

Let the children have their night of fun and laughter, let the gifts of Father Christmas delight their play. Let us grown-ups share to the full in their unstinted pleasures before we turn again to the stern tasks and the formidable years that lie before us, resolved that by our sacrifice and daring these same children shall not be robbed of their inheritance or denied their right to live in a free and decent world.

And so, in God's mercy, a happy Christmas to you all."

To which I can add only: Here, here.

Forgot to say that I'm posting my Christmas greeting from my hometown. One clue: Rose Bowl.

Night, all...

We love this site and thank Lucianne, Amy, Igor, and all the L.com staff for all you do everyday for us and the Nation. This is the site of common sense, and rationale. Merry Christmas to all, and God Bless. Randall and LynnSharyn in Southern California.

Yep Kmrgg, I think it would. It was a touching scene.

Santa has come and all that is left is to celebrate Christ's birth.

Merry Christmas to all and a wonderful and prosperous New Year form central Arkansas.

To Ms. Lucianne, Amy, Igor, Oblio,your anonymous, ever-vigilant staff and Baroness Margaret Thatcher, the official LCom Cat, MERRY CHRISTMAS. And a MERRY CHRISTMAS to 'My' LDot Family, Our President, Military and Allies.

Let there be Peace on Earth And Good Will Toward Men, and let it humbly begin with me (from Plano, TX).

Hey Pie, send me mail, your's isn't working for me. The bread maker needs some help.

Love this site and you'se smart posters. Thanks Lucianne for the invite and for the wunnerful day to day news and comment. My homepage has been here for several years. First place every day, to come for a look see as to what's happening.

Thanks Igor, Amy, and all the staff, including the Ms. Thatcher for the hospitality and good work.

Bless you all this Christmas and have a very good New Year.

A Merry Christmas to all you wonderful folks. It has been a great year. My prayer is that 2004 will be as great.

Imagine!

Well, something I've ALWAYS wanted to do on Christmas eve... (yeah, right)...

...recaulk around the bath tub. Meant to do it earlier but just now remembered :-/ It's 10:45pm here... maybe I can get it done in the next 15 minutes. The masking tape is already done, so it shouldn't take long.

Keep right on with the party... I'll see y'all later, aligator :-)

Is that Oblio, over there on the Baby Grand, playing Silent Night? Listen, everyone. It's very quiet. But, if you listen carefully, you will hear it.

Silent Night,
Holy Night,
All is calm,
All is bright......

As Ms Lucianne hangs out in Santa Fe, the City Different (ain't that the truth), occasionally, I thought I'd send along some luminarias (farolitos) to light the way just as L.Com lights the way to unfettered truth. Merry Christmas to one and all.

If Ann Coulter shows up at this party I have dibbs on the first (and last) dance!

Merry Christmas and blessings of the season from Agro Americans and oil field hands in the San Joachin Valley, with gratitude to Miss Lucianne, Amy, Igor and and rest of L Dot group, in which I include the many erudite and sometimes outrageously humorous posters.

Looking forward to a 2004 filled with many more demonstrations of courage and conviction from our Great Leader, Chief George W Two Stones.

Also looking forward to football controversy after bowl games - - -
and a new series of Absolutely Fabulous !
A big "GO TIGERS" from USC land.

Merry Christmas Lucianne and the whole gang. You keep the world informed.

Congrats to the Oregon State University Beavers on their victory in the Las Vegas Bowl.

Merry Christmas all! I know it is not Thanksgiving, but we all have soooo much to be thankful for. God Bless GWB and his Cabinent. WHo knows what this country would be like if Algore had been elected instead.

I also have a personal reason for thanks, I nearly lost my only son to a Motorcycle accident this year - 11 weeks in a coma - yet with faith and many many prayers from around the world, he lives and is recovering! I Thank GOD.
Happy birthday Jesus!
Aloha, KJC

As I remember the last road trip you fine ladies started, I was doing a standing rib roast. Will time has come around and mama has me doing one to go along with the turkey and ham, so if you all get near Vacaville, CA, you just give a yell and your all WELCOME.
Got to get some sleep so GOD BLESS and see you in the morning.

#77, I'll say the same for Ollie North. (Oh, I know he's married. But, I can pretend he's not, can't I?) After all, we're here in cyberspace, enjoying Christmas!

And, yotty, if you have a couple barrels of rain water to spare........... we could use it. But, be careful, gurl.

Merry Christmas to ALL of you. Even motp, KStan and loucon. You guys keep us on our toes.

And, to our hostess, Lucianne, here's to you, and your invaluable staff, (Amy, Igor, Oblio, LcomPeepster, and ALL) with the finest vintage. Thank you!!!

''Clink-clink''!

Snowy Christmas greetings from Zurich, Switzerland! I'm off to a thermal bath resort way up in the Austrian Alps for a week starting tomorrow (yeah, yeah, someone has to do it -- but I willingly shoulder this "burden").

Merry Christmas and a Happy and Health New Year to everyone!

Thanks again to Lucianne, Amy, and the gang for giving up this fabulous place in cyberspace.

“WHo knows what this country would be like if Algore had been elected instead.”

I’m still awake. It’s dawned on me lately that, if Gore had been President & had appointed to his cabinet some Dems as moderate as his VP Lieberman—& maybe kept the DoD chief Republican—the Administration would have been torn apart by ultimately public disagreement about what to do about places like Iraq. Prez vs. VP, cabinet resignations, etc. And Republicans across the country would have been up in arms. The nation would have been in political turmoil & worse. Meanwhile Gore would be chanting a mantra against the divisions, “this is letting the terrorists win!” As for the terrorists themselves—for now, I don’t want to think about it.

Instead, we have the A-Team. Calmness, competence, & resolve in charge.

Hey #82, if Ann or Ollie don't make it by... say...noon, what do you say you and I try a 2 step?

#82, I LOVE the waltz. But, (alas) I wasn't born with rythm. (sigh). Will the Bunny-hop do?

Gern, A DVD sounds awesome. I'll check the Bill Tush site regularly so maybe I can get it that way. Better than taping it off the net and no chance for me to mess it up. Thanks again for the source. I never looked for it on the net but shoulda known it would be there. It was just too darned funny to be lost to posterity.

And a very Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Happy Christmas to all from Laurel

#87, Pie, are you Ann Coulter?

I found this several years ago:

(sung to God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen)


''The restroom door said 'Gentlemen'
So I just walked inside
I took two steps and realized
I'd been taken for a ride
I heard high voices, turned, and found
The place was occupied
By two nuns, three old ladies, and a nurse.
What could be worse
Than two nuns, three old ladies, and a nurse?

''The restroom door said 'Gentlemen'
It must have been a gag
As soon as I walked in there, I ran into some old hag
She sprayed me with a can of mace
And smacked me with her bag.
I could tell this just wouldn't be my day.
What can I say?
It just wasn't turning out to be my day.

''The restroom door said 'Gentlemen'
And I would like to find
The crummy little creep who had the nerve to switch the sign
'Cause I've got two black eyes
And one high heel up my behind!
Now I can't sit with comfort and joy
Boy, oh, Boy
No, I'll never sit with comfort and joy''

Good Morning and a most Merry Christmas to everyone here especially LadyLu,Amy and IGOR!

Is a Jewish person allowed into this party?

Good. In that case, a most Merry Christmas to Grandma Lucianne, the Queen of the Internet, and to her territic staff, and to all our LDotters, from the Monterey Peninsula. You make me laugh, cry, sometimes say bad words, and most often, feel at home.

And a very special joyous Christmas to my fellow Californians. Together we put the Big Austrian in the statehouse, and gave some GOP punch to the West Coast scene!

Most of all, Holiday Blessings upon our great President and his lovely Laura, and to our troops - who give the full measure of their very selves to protect us all.

Deborah Bat Abraham Avinu

Merry Christmas to you too, ForNow!

I'm almost done with the wrapping! I keep thinking about our troops over there. My husband, a veteran, got a Christmas email from a dear Army buddy who reminded him of a firefight they were in together on Christmas Eve years ago in Panama. He said he had been deployed so many times during Christmas that it became like every other day. Then he said, "That's why it is so important to keep Christmas every day of the year."

God bless our troops.

Merry Christmas to all from Northeastern Arizona.

Remember, He is the reason for the season.

Don't forget to keep our men and women in uniform who are serving around the world in your prayers today.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Merry Christmas and thank you, dear Lucianne, Amy, Igor, Oblio, anonymous, ever-vigilant staff and Baroness Margaret Thatcher, the official LCom Cat. Was feeling a little disconnected and out-of-sorts because I lost my beloved baby brother on Saturday (he was my baby even though he was 56 years old). In these silent early morning hours of Christmas day, like a lonely dove seeking the sheltering boughs of a winter pine tree, my soul sought out the welcoming, tender solace of this site. When I saw that beautiful picture of 'Our Men of the Year' and the accompanying poem; the beautiful posts of #56RUserious and #75applepie; the joyous good news of #80Slartibartfast and all of the other posts, I felt so blessed to be able to visit with all of you wonderful, dear, generous, gentle-hearted, precious people. You have all lightened the burden of my heart. I thank you all and wish each of you, 'Merry Christmas' and blessed, memorable times spent with all of those dear to you.

Joyeux Noel from Cajun Country.

Almost 3am here in South Jersey. Six out of the 7 kiddies are asleep - the 7 year old harrassing me from upstairs to please go to bed so Santa will come..

I'm bringing chocolate fondue to the party with bananas and strawberries and marshmellows and dried apricots for dipping. Melts in your mouth......yummy.

I'm so grateful for this ''site of sanity'' in a delirious world. Tonight we read Luke 2 and then prayed for those families and soldiers with loved ones far away - or never to return.

These are the golden years.

Ok. How 'bout some home made corn likker. Just a taste. As the song says, It's 5 o'clock somewhere. Check your liver at the door.

Christmas has been very strange for me this year. On Monday I was released from the hospital following a very painful gall bladder removal operation -- 25 steel staples to close me up. The worst was missing a week of Lucianne and my Ldotter buds. A few of you knew of my operation and had sent the kindest and most wonderful messages of prayer and support. You will never know just how much you all mean to this old man. Maybe I'll be around for another Christmas without being gutted. May God Bless you all as much as He has blessed me.

''Shepards and wise men
Will kneel and adore Him
Seraphim, 'round Him, their vigil will keep
Nations proclaim Him their Lord and their Savior
But Mary will hold Him,
And sing Him to sleep

''Find Him at Bethlehem
Laid in a manger
Christ, our Redeemer, asleep in the hay
Godhead, Incarnate, and hope for salvation,
A child with His mother that first Christmas day.''

(From ''Candlelight Carol'' - John Rutter)

''Love caused Thy Incarnation,
Love brought Thee down to me,
Thy thirst for my salvation
Procured my liberty.
O love beyond all telling,
That led Thee to embrace,
In love all love excelling,
Our lost and fallen race. ''

>Paul Gerhardt (1653)

Merry Christmas from Western New York!

My early Christmas gift came a week ago - permission to register and post on Lucianne.com! I've been lurking about for a few years and feel as if I know some of the regulars.

I'd like to thank Miss Lucianne and her L.dot elves for this gift! And I'd like to thank those of you who responded kindly to my initial posts, even before I figured out quotation marks!

Christmas greetings to all from
Ramona the Pest

Merry Christmas to Lucianne and staff, all those who post here, and to those in the military everywhere.

I'll be back later to hear about the flamboyant fasion statements that made the party such fun last year.

dbaa... of course you're welcome! And a very Merry Christmas to YOU.

Tianne and Road Apple,
May sweet Jesus hold both of you on His lap, rocking you in His rocking chair and kissing away your owies.

(...and that I don't have 25 metal staples holding me together anywhere!! OUCH!)

Just finished wrapping.

Glory to God on the Highest,
Peace on Earth,
and Goodwill toward men.

Merry Christmas from Turkey!

We received the most wonderful Christmas present yesterday! We received notice of my wife's final appointment with BCIS, in early January, for her American naturalization. I can't stop crying for joy. We are flying out of Izmir to the USA tomorrow to be there for the appointment.

And I thank Lucianne (and her crew and her son) for giving voice to the pride that I feel in American ideals.

Merry Christmas to all!

Near mid-day here in Baghdad.

Please remember that across this great nation of Iraq, people you don't know and will never meet are extremely grateful for the gifts the U.S. has given them: freedom, liberation from a cruel tyrant and hope for the future.

Our own nation can stand strong and do the right thing, only so long as righteous people like L-Dotters stand up, speak out, and give backbone to our politicians. Doing nothing lets evil flourish.

A recent lunchtime companion a couple of times has been an elderly female judge whose husband and brother met terrible ends in Saddam's acid vats. Across the local national workforce, every family has similar tales of the horror that was visited on this nation, and for years no one in the "civilized" world gave a damn!!

Working with the Iraqis, we're rebuilding this nation for its rightful owners. Failure is not an option. Merry Christmas and Essayons!

#107,

Congratulations. I spent a few months in Istanbul several years ago - Turkish women are among the most beautiful in the world. It's those dark eyes...

I just woke up (yawn) I threatened the kid's lives if they got me up too early, now I'M the one up and they are fast asleep!

Merry Christmas LDotters!!!!

Road Apple - May you have the speediest recovery possible. We expect you to be around for many more celebrations here! My daughter-in-law had her gall bladder removed two weeks ago. Her attack was very severe and she was in the hospital for four days. She is still rocky, but recuperating nicely at home. Sometimes this is quite a rough illness. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas in spite of it all.

Kmrgg - Thank you! I expect to be partying here for a good part of the day, with Santa cookies and Hanukkah gelt mixed together.

It is 3:10 a.m. CST. Merry Christmas to all from Arkansas (yeah, that quite often verbally abused state in these United States).

God Bless Lucianne and all you Ldotters. But most of all God Bless our troops wherever they are stationed, and God Bless our Commander in Chief, George W. Bush, and his lovely wife, Laura.

God love the troops.

God protect our country.

Merry Christmas, all.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas from Portland, Orygun. I just got in from midnight Mass and on the way home I stopped by Subway for a footlong SPAM sammich. It will be enough for Igor and me. I have one gift to wrap before I go to bed.

I would like to hope for all you joy, health and peace in this coming year. Thank you for all the conversations and insights. This is truly a very smart and wonderful bunch. Thank you to Lucuanne and staff for keeping us in communication 24/7.

Apropos of nothing. When I taught college freshmen, I put quotations relating to upcoming discussions on the board every day
to get the class off the mark. Interestingly, very few could explain the first.

Good Morning, All - My goodness, I'm late to my own party! Please forgive me.

I hope everyone is comfortable and enjoying themselves. There's plenty of virtual coffee. Help yourselves. Ham, red eye gravy, biscuits, home fries, every kind of egg you can imagine, sausage, bacon, grits for our Southern Ldotters, try some - all are available. There are bloody marys, there's champagne and although I know it's early go ahead - a virtual drink does no damage no matter what time of day.

I'm off to see what terror news has surfaced overnight. Chat among yourselves. I'll be right back.

Greetings from Omaha, Nebraska - the central hub of flyover country. Before I pick up a beer and start shooting darts at the Bill-and-Hill dartboard here at the Ldotter Virtual Christmas Party, I'd like to wish all (80,000) Ldotters the very merriest of Christmas seasons - a very fitting cap to a wonderful year.

I would additionally like to wish the Nebraska Cornhuskers the very best in their upcoming Alamo Bowl victory over Michigan State. Also good luck in finding a coach whose name is not

"Wise men STILL seek Him." (and may it ever be so.) God bless our president and everyone who isn't afraid or ashamed to say "Merry CHRISTmas" rather than "Happy Holidays." Lucianne, you're the best!

Wassail everyone.

Earlier I said my piece with love and meaning to Lucianne and the L.com staff. Merry Christmas to all.

Road Apple, I think I will be going through something similar in the near future, and God Bless you, hope you have a full recovery.

We are thankful also to the VA Hospital that restored my eyesight last year, and confirmed my recovery this year.

Veterans, I forgot all about my benefits until I lost my eyesight and was shopping for a doctor. (Sound familiar?) My father told my brother that the VA would probably take care of the problem. DUH!! I went to the VA, and now I can see 20/20 whenst before I could not. If you are a Veteran, don't forget the VA. We have locally the Loma Linda Medical Center; Jerry L. Pettis Memorial VA Hospital, and the staff, doctors are the best. God Bless and keep healthy. Merry Christmas to all.

Whoops - I was gonna say that I wish Nebraska the very best in hiring a coach not named Steve Spurrier.

As for the news from 2003...rejoice!

When tyrants tremble, sick with fear
And hear their death knells ringing,
When friends rejoice both near and far,
How can I keep from singing?

Conga line!!!

I'm still up, but not for long. It was easier to get the kids in bed earlier when they were smaller.

We went to the candlelight service tonight, and my darling daughter traded candles with me right before we lit them. Halfway though Silent Night, the hot wax reached my fingertips, instantly welding them together. Oh, Joy!

I'm sure you all will be up long before me, so have a very Merry Christmas.

Oh, and lest I forget, Go Vols!

kmrgg, thank you for your kind words.

Road Apple, continued rapid recovery (and relief!) to you and every blessing.

wordguy50, Post #108: Reading your words, we are reminded of just why we are so grateful for this country and for its incredible selfless people, who work and travel the globe to bring liberation, freedom, good will and stability to strangers. What fine representatives all of you are. We thank you and pray for the safety of each of you. Merry Christmas.

Will those who are joining Cato the elder's conga line please take it out on the deck - you are scaring the cat.

The Cat can join the CONGA Miss Lucianne - OUCH watch out for those nails - ouch OUCH!

Oh well, Wordguy50 - thank you for all your hard work bringing freedom to the people of Iraq.

Bless everyone here who has been troubled by illness, and operation or an accident, and may the Lord keep you in his protective arms as you recover.

Hello, Merry Christmas!

- dlm, aka 3M_TA3

Bonaman from Cuba, NY. Greetings from a former resident - Black Creek, to be exact. Now living one hour east. Merry Christmas to all.

Merry Christmas, Miss Lucianne, and her great staff! And a very Merry Christmas to the most intelligent folks on the internet, all you LDotters.

Have to make the monkey cake and then we are on our way to the grandkids. But I couldn't leave without wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Peaceful New Year.
Thank you, Lucianne, for being here. You are the best present of all.

Whoo, whoo...

...the DubyaDubyaDubya Christmas conga line is now in session, and the honorable Cato_da_elder is presiding! Feel free to bring all goofy banana hats, party cocktails, noisemakers, and household pets to the festivities - with the exception of your family dog, who scares Ms. Lucianne's cat and who hogs all the attention from Igor!

By the way, Ms. Lucianne, we need somebody to provide the vocals for the background Caribbean beat. Would you care to do the honors?

Chicka...boom, boom...Chicka...boom, Chicka...boom...

Feliz Natal de Ohio! Bom dia! What a wonderful site filled with wonderful people. You all are my Christmas present with your insight, opinions and knowledge. You force me to think. To think is to be alive and so you are a gift of life to me. Muito obrigado!

Nice Portuguese. Merry Christmas!

Will sing when Igor's sound man sets up the mike and my Carmen Miranda outfit gets here. Meanwhile - like I said....take it outside!

Just put the Ham in the oven, can you smell it?

Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to one and all from Middle GA. That would be up on the Fall Line waiting patiently for global warming to make my home ocean front ;<)

I am a sporadic regular from the early days.
Love this place; just never get to spend as much time here as I would like.

The gift of knowledge furnished on this wonderful site makes EVERY day Christmas (or, for our more "enlightened" friends, Kwanzaa-eve!).

Road Apple, get out of pain--FAST!! Prayers from NYC.

And please wish my family luck, for they soon will have to tolerate me as I recover from hip-replacement-revision surgery on December 30. This time, I'm going to a real doctor, and if anyone has the address of the organization that I can contact in order to memorialize the agony foisted upon me by the horse doctor who botched the first procedure, I'm all ears!

You all have been truly magnificent sources of truth and hope, during my sometimes-lonely existence as an anti-Democrat in NYC, the world capital of America-hate and Bush-haters.

Much love to all of my precious cyber-buddies, a MERRY, HEALTHY, HAPPY AND SAFE CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR!

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM LOVELY NORTH GEORGIA MOUNTAINS TO ALL L DOTTERS. HOME OF THE NORTH GA MILITARY COLLEGE. Merry Christmas ThelmaLou! You too, Hollywood Bill (my son is there). I am coming to the party, winding down a few roads; bringing some Bourbon and Dandelion wine for all.

I just stepped over Enkeli to say Merry Christmas (adorable, all curled up down there with the cat) from a rainy, rather warm Bush-Hating, Hillary Loving New York City. Without Lcom we couldn't survive here.
There would be no safe haven, no place to find comfort and wisdom. Thanks Ldotters for being here, thanks staff and Lucianne for the safety net.

Go, Dean, Go - I see from the morning headlines he loves Jesus. Has the man no shame?!

Merry Christmas from the Jersey shore!

Happy Birthday, Jesus.

He's a demmycrat, ain't he?

I truly can say that I have met the nicest folks on Luci, very, very, dear friends they have now become. Merry Christmas from the Lehigh Valley

Well, this will be my only chance to drop in and wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I expect to be on the road later today, and won't get to be online much over the next few days. I miss this place when I don't have a chance to log on. Like so many others, I really appreciate this forum and all (well, MOST) of the people here. Thanks especially to Miss Lucianne and the staff, Amy, Igor, Oblio, and everyone.
Christmas blessings to all!

And please, gentle Ldotters, send me prayers today, as I will be spending a few moments standing at the WTC crater, visiting the spirits of lost NYPD and FDNY heroes, acquaintances and former students of mine who perished on that sunny September morning.

Just a few steps from my in-laws' apartment downtown, I always make the vigil a part of my family visits. The short vigils give me a grounding as to the realities of this wonderful but dangerous world, and strengthen my ability to endure the infantile drool coming from my idiot sister-in-law and her bedwetting, commie husband.

Merry Christmas to everyone at Lucianne.com from Madill,Ok!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to thank Lucianne and her staff for putting together the best web site on the internet. I consider it a proud privilege that I am a REGISTERED poster! My days begin and end with lucianne.

I'm off to work at the hospital in Ardmore, Ok but will checking through out the day as time and patients allow!

Merry Christmas

My Christmas prayer Father God is that you protect our brothers and sisters in the armed services around the world. I thank you Lord for giving us one of the greatest leaders the world has ever seen to guide us through this time of turmoil. God, Bless George W. Bush and Miss Laura.

Lord, I thank you for each and every L.dotter in the family. It is a joy to read their posts and to gain insight from their wisdom.

Father, I pray that you will reveal yourself to those who do not have a personal relationship with you. Draw them to you and let them see the Love of Jesus Christ this Christmas Season.

Most of all Father, Thank You for sending your Son to us as we set aside this day to celebrate his birth. I thank you that you have chosen me to be your son and have given salvation to me and my family as your word said you would.

Happy Birthday Jesus

I have that same problem T-Bubba. My socialist sister and her trotsyite boyfriend. I'm always glad to get home.

That champagne shall go down nicely with a little OJ - Thank you, Lucianne. I brought a platter of breakfast burritos made according to my secret recipe (darn hard to find decent Mexican food in NYC). The Bronx cats have all settled underneath bits of wrapping paper that have started to litter the floor here, so watch your feet in that conga line!

To all L-dotters, the merriest greetings and wishes for you from the Bronx. Special thanks to our hostess with the mostest.

Merry and Blessed CHRISTmas to all and sundry. My dear friend Moses sent me the following:
Borscht is reddish
Manischevitz is bluish
Merry Christmas from somebody Jewish

I wish him and all Jews a belated Happy Hannukkah. In its' myriad of spellings.

I'm on the road in a few moments to Sacramento to sprinkle gifts and hugs and kisses all over the grandkids.

May the Almighty God richly bless GWB and staff, Lucianne and Staff, Jonah and friends, Ann Coulter, Rich Galen, and all other Truthtellers.
May His richest blessings fall all over the troops and their commanders.

A blessed and Merry Christmas to all here.
I may not be able to post very often, but I do read each day and the knowlege I have gained here, along with the comfort of knowing there are like minded people in this world has allowed me to do my best each day.
Sleep and rest well this joyous day of the Lord. My cavalry Staff Sargent son is protecting us.

Go to www.comanchetroop.com to get a sense of how life is in Iraq.

Merry Christmas, Miss Lucianne, et al! You are all the best, and thusly draw some of the nicest people to your site. I love it here! BTW, if the caddie is swinging by the Pacific Northwest (mad cow country), could you stop by here in Vancouver? I promise to leave the burgers at home. It's almost 4 a.m. here and I finally finished the wrapping, pumpkin pie and cranberry salad, so really need to catch a few winks. Want to be bright-eyed for the party. Igor, please save a dance for me, if you will. I'm a bit out of practice, but hope you'll be able to tolerate. (Are those shoes steel-toed?) Merry Christmas, all! Javagal :-)

Thanks Lucianne and staff, we appreciate you.

This Christmas in America

As we gather with our families in celebration this December
Our minds still wander back to a Tuesday in September
When we learned what was important on a day that changed our lives
To take time to cherish, sons and daughters, husbands, wives
We pray as we approach this Holy Christmas season
We will not forget Jesus’ Birthday is the reason
For over 20 centuries His story has been told
On that silent night in Bethlehem, this story’s never old
God sent us the greatest Gift from His home above
In this gift He has shown us the purest form of love
Because God sent His Son, we know He understands
How we feel as we send ours to fight in foreign lands
In the sky long ago He placed a star to give direction
We pray He will watch over and give His safe protection
To our brave sons and daughters, until they are safely with us
We pray for the gift of peace for this and every Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas All!
This site is a safe-house for reason, humor and dignity! Thank God for all of you!

If anyone is into contemporary Christian Music, my group, "PraZ" (pronounced praise), has had our first CD released this week. It's local distribution only at the moment, but our producer, Al (www.starboundproductions.com), is going to help us with wider distribution. For any St. Louis folks, there's a fair chance that we'll be the band for Christian Family Day at Busch Stadium this summer. Unfortunately, our new web site isn't functional yet. The old one is http://praz_music.tripod.com/praz/
Our CD's will be available on our new site when up. They are $12 with $3 shipping when needed. Until then, you can email Mike through our old site or me at princepiperappears@yahoo.com if you'd like one.
Oh, there's a song called "Eagle's Gift" on it about how the U.S., and our ability to free the oppressed poeples of the world, is a gift form God. I had to write one to tweak the Libs a bit!
God Bless to All,
slipknot (aka Kevin)

For those of you who haven't read it, Kitty Litter has posted a wonderful story about The W in Christmas. It's worth the trip.

Merry Christmas to all from frosty Tennessee from a transplanted Tarheel.

Merry Christmas to all here at this wonderful site.

Merry Christmas to one and all - and a pause to reflect on the birth of the Savior of the World.

Have a wonderful Christmas, everyone, from North Georgia!
JLoophole

Merry Christmas to each of you - am doing this in a hurry - got a plane to catch (appreciate the prayers) in two hours and am not finished packing!
God's blessings to all and thanks to Him for our most Wonderful Gift!!!
Thanks especially to Ms. Lucianne et al - love you loads along with our wonderful "W" and his companions in DC.
Love from Olathe, Kansas
Lana

The most Blessed of Christmases to all the great L.com family! KayJay is right...retail is a nightmare this time of year, and the economy is booming according to sales in our store! Prayers for our troops and our wonderful President and his staff. Thank you Lucianne for this great site which keeps us 'little people' sane thru all the hype we hear everyday. Gotta go make the stuffing now. Will return later. Talk to you today, KayJay!!!! Love ya all, and Merry Christmas. Happy Birthday to our Lord and Savior, Jesus.

I don't post here very often but I've got to tell EVERYONE who reads this...

Merry Merry Christmas, and a very Happy New Year!!!

Belle

A good 38 deg foggy New England Christmas to all.
May ALL of the blessings of the season be upon all who visit here.

Thanks, Lucianne. I have missed that pink cadillac and all those friends who grab a ride. This is the site I go to each morning to find out what has happened in Iraq overnight. Most of the news (except Fox) drives me into a tizzy. Lucianne helps to keep me grounded. I have a son in Iraq and it is nice to know there are friends out there who really care. Thank you #108. I need to be reminded from time to time of why we are really over there.

Sorry it's early,,,i forgot,,,

Merry Christmas from Savannah Georgia, y'all

Belle

Thanks loads dhorne123 for the story about the ''W'' in Christmas. I just went through a half box of tissues crying like a baby.
Got to pull myself together. Daughter and Son-in-law coming over soon to help Grandson open goodies that seem to somehow end up here. Santa sometimes delivers to the wrong address.

Roast and ham for dinner and lots of good company headed this way. I might be able to sneak back for a few minutes later today.

GOD BLESS YOUR SON Samdu!!!!!!!!

My nephew is in Iraq and was in Afghanistan before that. We spent a blessed few hours with him when he came back for leave in October.

Oops!
should have been: http://www.starboundrecording.com

In case anyone's keeping track of who posts...MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Mornin from WYOMING folks! Many thanks Lucianne for letting us in the door each day. Any, you're the greatest. Igor? What can I say....

Celery stalk in mine please!

As for elder in Omaha, say hi to everyone out there in Nebraska land. I love Omaha, went to Creighton.

Have a great day folks and God Bless.

Merry Christmas morning to my LDotter friends. God bless each of you however you celebrate this day. Thank you Lucianne for this Website. Best wishes to President and Mrs. Bush, past and present. A very special thank you to our men and women in the military, and thank you to their families. Cheers!

Merry Christmas to one and all!

Will be off to grandma's house in a few minutes but want to stop and wish all a MERRY CHRISTMAS and thanks to GOD for the gift of grace and truth.

Merry Christmas to all.

Hey!! I thought I was getting into the Ldot Pink Caddy, but guess who's driving this baby? None other than Jeb! Apparently, he's on the way to Camp David, and he felt sorry for me standing on the road with my SPAM burgers and Hunch Punch, so he is giving me a ride.

Now, listen, 'pie and the rest of you rabid females, HANDS OFF MY GOVERNOR! We don't want any scandals stickin' to him, especially since I think I spy Peter Deutsch and El Reno following behind us. Just say hello, shake his hand, and NO tushie pinching!

Can you hear him hollerin' out the window? He's wishing all of the Ldotters a Merry (and blessed) Christmas, Happy (and holy) Hanukah and a questionable Ramalamakwanzaadong to all!

By the way, I had a great Christmas party last night, but had to use the darn AIR CONDITIONER! Are the rest of you having unseasonably warm weather too?

Love from Mary in Florida

Merry Christmas to all L-dotters! You are the most interesting, intelligent and knowledgeable group around. I can't thank everyone enough for all that I have learned and for the many laughs you have provided over the years! A special thank you and Merry Christmas to Lucianne. No 'happy holidays' here! God Bless all of you.

Merry Christmas Lucianne and all the L-dotter family. I hope you all have a happy day.

In Christ's name I ask that our Heavenly Father guide, protect and keep all our soldiers wherever they may be serving our Country.

Road Apple, we'll keep you in our prayers.

See you guys later, gotta go join the family.

-Phil E.

A very Merry Christmas to everyone here at Miss Lucianne's place. May 2004 be the best year yet for our President our Military and the great folks that populate this special place. Mike in Mississippi and sometimes Florida.

Merry Christmas and WordGuy50, thanks to you and all the guys. I love Lucianne.com, I have to read it every mornign before I get dressed even and I love the posts, you guys are great fun. Hey does anybody have a good recipe for
AJVAR? I tried ones on the internet and they come out watery. Redpepper-eggplant dip? If so, appreciate it!

Merry Christmas morning to all. Thank you Lord for your precious gift.

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas to all of you. Just woke up in Prescott, AZ. May snow tonight or tomorrow.

Every Christmas, my husband asks me what I want for a gift and I ALWAYS tell him, ''As long as I have you, I have my Christmas gift.''

He thinks it's corny and probably sweet, but it's the truth as we spent way too many holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and whatever days apart while he served his 20 in the Air Force.

To those who serve now: thank you. Your dedication, service, and devotion are appreciated more than you will ever know.

To those who wait for those who serve: hang tough because better, sweeter days are coming.

Christmas greetings from Ocala, Florida to my Buds at Lucianne - some of the most intelligent posters on the Internet!

P.S. Hey, don't Bogart the egg nog!

Tp all, Merry Christmas to all from the Phantom and his lady. Please remember the true reason for this day and join in the celebration of his life!

God Bless Us All, Everyone.

Merry Christmas to all and thank you Lucianne for a great year. I'm off to my sons before my grandson wakes (i really better hurry) and my daughter & family are on their way home from Alaska - it doesn't get much better then this with 2 more grandkids due soon.

Happy,Happy Holidays and may God Bless America.

Luke 2: 10-11 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

God Rest Ye, Merry!

Merry, Merry Christmas to All! Everyone have a spectacular day!

Oh my...
50 AM and my sixteen year old bratling was already tappin on our bedroom door... Yawn -
Well, guess we are underway this Christmas morning.

I just want to thank all the staff and my fellow L-Dotters for everything this year. Ya know, everybody - 2004 WILL be better.

Merry Christmas to you all...

Merry Christmas from soggy San Diego. Thanks Lucianne for the virtual Christmas party. A chance for all of us to get reacquainted.
Thanks #26 for the link to "A Christmas Story" which has now become my favorite Holiday movie. I watch it every year. It has everything in it that stirs up the old memories of 1940's Massachusetts. I so wanted a two wheel bike. I would dream about it and could visualize myself riding it. But, alas, it was not meant to be. Santa was too poor in post WWII times. We were grateful for the practical gifts of new mittens, scarf, and hat. I remember how much I loved my new ball point pen. I spent all Christmas vacation writing everything I could think of just to use my new pen. Imagine our own paper dolls with clothes even. No more cutting paper dolls from the Sears Catalogue. My sister and I spent most of Christmas vacation designing clothes for them with just plain paper and crayons. Thanks for the memories.

Hey #41....Merry Christmas, sir, from the (snowing like a son of gun) windy lonely patch south of Rock Springs, baby. Must be nice to live up there in Cheyenne where all the trees and paved roads are!

However, I tain't heard that high altitude, low multitude before. I am flat gonna steal that one, hoss.

Merry Christmas, ya'll!

(gotta go tend the animals now - yes, it's O'Dark Thirty, but THEY don't know that)

Merry Christmas!

Since I like quotations, here's one from Krusty the Klown:

"Have a merry Christmas, happy Chanukah, kwazy Kwanza, a tip-top Tet, and a solemn, dignified Ramadan."

Did I leave anyone out?

GOOD MORNING,.... just woke up.

Merry Christmas to all of our friends here at the party. It's 54 and sunny here in Galveston county.
Yeah, I know, I couldn't figure out that Durst jury either.

Thinking about strolling around the dance floor doing the Texas two step. So smooth, and friendly.
Thinking also about the Salsa and chips I brought to the party. Enjoy .

Lucianne is the best. When I go to relatives or friends to access the site, I always add it to their Favorites. Sometimes I even make it their home page.

Merry Christmas to All. Hope you all have as great a holiday as I. The families all here, safe, sound, warm, and happy

And a special MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of the men and women of the Armed Forces of the United States. You may not always be home, but you're always at home in our hearts.

Bless you all on this most wonderful of days.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ALABAMA & WAR EAGLE COUNTRY!!!

What a beautiful day it's going to be here, 50 degrees and perfect. Wishing all my fellow L-Dotters and Staff a glorious Christmas Day 2003!! And remember the Reason for the Season!!

Merry Christmas from the beautiful Atlantic coast of Florida. Just one of the millions of gorgeous parts of our great country.

We are the luckiest people on the globe, and we can all celebrate in our own way. We're going to see LOTR today and then to a nice dinner.

Merry Christmas to all, from S. Illinois! Special greetings to all my new friends I met on Ldot this year, including but not limited to: earlybird ( & thanks AGAIN for your superb reporting & commentary on the CA recall election); Lexusep; Tulsa; JT33; tisHimself; Landshark; applepie and Bonnieblue.

I would like to add a special thanks to those posters in Mississippi, Louisiana & Kentucky who went out & volunteered to WORK in those elections earlier this year. I plan to emulate your excellent example by donating a full week of time to the cause next Oct./Nov. myself. Best wishes, MNW

* * * FOXY NEWS ALERT * * *

I heard a rumor that our lovely hostess--God bless her and all her clan--will be the live guest tomorrow morning on CSPAN at 8 am EST. Is this too much to hope for?

Lucianne: please RSVP.

Frying a turkey...got some extra, any takers?

And God Bless all our troops and sailors and airmen and Coast Guard and all who walk the watch towers in far away places for Our Sake's. Merry Christmas to all who serve!!

Special Merry Christmas to amereagle, Standing Wolf, Cato, that crazy lad cooped up in the cabana with Mrs. Falconer, sazedog, RoadApple, SallyVee, and the lot of you.

And Miss L....CHEESE Grits for me, please.

I'll be along shortly - as soon as I find my recipe for the Spam Daquiri which I always bring to these fancy do's, for Igor. Meantime,thanks to
1. Our gracious hostess, for helping us to keep our sanity, when all around us are losing theirs,
2. That wonderful staff, including Mrs. Thatcher,
3. #56, for a touching story of sacrifice, and for showing us that gratitude still lives in the minds and hearts of people of good will,
4. #74, for the cheer for my team (I assume you mean, "Geaux, Tigers!")
5. All you wonderful people in L.com country - the smartest, most articulate, funniest, and most un-PC bunch whom it has ever been my pleasure to know.

May the Peace of Christ be with all of you, and keep you safe in His heart during every season. Joyeaux Noel, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a generic Season's Greetings for the PC Crowd, because, today, I love everybody! (Well, almost everybody. The Clintons and the Dwarves are problems, but I'm REALLY trying.)

MERRY CHRISTMAS! to all LDotters and to Lucianne and the staff!
God Bless All!


Save a glass of champange for me, it's only 99 am where I live, and Igor keep the band playing!

HOWDY! from Prairie Hill, Texas...DUBYA Country! I want to thank each and every one of you for making this a great year for L.dot readers! The insight on world affairs done with a touch of humor makes it PRICELESS! Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and hoping that my cartoons bring you a smile from time to time. Let's keep this country a bastion of FREEDOM & LIBERTY with the help of Lucianne!

Merry Christmas to each and everyone here at my favorite website, Lucianne.com.

I just want to say Merry Christmas and Thanks to Lucianne for the many hours of pleasure that you have brought me, and to all the Ldotters who get on here. I am not very computer savvy, but do enjoy it, and God Bless our nation, president, and the boys and girls overseas.

Merry Christmas Everyone!


Have a wonderful day all you wonderful L-Dotters! Spam Pie for Igor! {{{{{YUMMM!}}}}}

Regretfully, I won’t be attending the Ldot open house. The grandkids have examined the bounty left by Santa and we’re loading up the car now to go visit their great-grandparents a couple of hours west of Dallas. Gran and Granddad will be 80 this year, so we don’t pass up any time we can spend with them.

I had to take the time, though, to drop in and thank you all (and especially Miss Lucianne) for the ongoing gift of stimulating discourse I’ve enjoyed this year.

I can’t read or post from the office, but you’re my first stop when I power up the PC upon arriving home each evening. Always being the latecomer, I don’t post much. By the time I arrive each evening there are so many brilliant posts mine would usually be insignificant. But I can’t pass up reading threads.

I nod in agreement, laugh out loud and on occasion slap palm to forehead. You folks provide something sorely missing in most communities… thoughtful, reasonable discussion.

Thank you all and Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all from the Hill Country of Texas!!

God Bless our soldiers and familys and all of you great
