Unsure whether there's an unwritten rule but seeing as how no one has said it yet, here's wishing you all the best for whatever you celebrate this time of year, along with a happy new year and if possible a belter of a 2015.
Love and hugs
Paul
Not at all, Paul... it's just the duty of the first person to post it up, and upon your mantle this year, it's you... thought the same thing earlier today...
For me, it's Merry Christmas: to Carlo I wish a Merry Swampmas; to Dave I wish not too many feet of snow or Dakota will not be a happy girl; to Uwe "have many more: sans fins"; to Scott and Bill keep playing and working the wood; to George and the kids. Enjoy...!; to Al, Go Cougs! but go easy on the cheese over the holidays ;D; to Mark/58, whatever, whenever, wherever, to the max you can enjoy (beware the Hellcat! :mrgreen:); to Andy, Anthony, Ari (shalom), Baz, Billy, Brad, Bret, Chris, Daniel, a very flat Eric, Gary, Joe of the Chrome, John the Barkless, Kostas, Michael Floor & Rob and the smaller Basvarkens, Roberto and Ronn way down in Texas, Tony of the Cloudy Isles, and so many that may have slipped my failing mind... to friends old and new, to one and all, and all of your families and friends, I wish you a time of peace and as perfect a New Year as can be bestowed upon you and yours...
To all of you, a Merry Christmas and in addition, enjoy a beautiful time doing and observing whatever moves you.
To me, the fact of observing one occasion does not devalue the other occasions which may occur around that time.
This is a good group of people and I enjoy hanging out here and bantering with you! Each of you are special and impressive in your contributions and thoughts.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of my Outpost brethren! I hope you have all had an amazing year and that 2015 treats you even better!! :toast:
Thanks guys, hope you all have a happy Christmas whether religious or secular.
I'm looking forward to a healthier 2015.
And Ken, we'll be lucky if we have more than a couple of inches of snow on the ground by Christmas Day, if that.
Enjoy it all!! God Bless and Hopefully we all have an awesome NEW year!!
What they said.
Seriously - Merry Christmas, and a happy & healthy New Year to all.
All the best for Christmas and the new year, love from Gibson Aberdeen. I mean, me ;)
Fröhliche Weihnachten everyone!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!
Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to all of you, from a snowy northern Sweden where bass rumble causes roofs to shake off the white powder from heaven!
Vrolijk Kerstfeest en een gelukkig nieuwjaar!
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to all!
A very Merry Christmas and healthy holidays to all! Blessings all around. I hope everyone has lots of fun times with families and friends.
God jul og godt nytt år!

I'll bet that lamp is Fra-Gee-Lay. ;)
It's Italian that's for sure
Merriest of Christmases and the best to you all!
My wife only agreed to let me have it upstairs from Black Friday 'til January 2nd.................. Or else I may see just how Fay-Gee-Lay it really is!

Meanwhile, in North Tonawanda, NY: Man steals leg lamp from liquor store's "A Christmas Story" display (http://wivb.com/2014/12/20/video-man-steals-leg-lamp-from-north-tonawanda-a-christmas-story-display/)
Happy Christmas everyone in bass land
Merry Christmas to everybody here :)
Thank you Uwe and Dave for making this the best place to be all year 'round.
Snow in Seattle is uncommon, we had about an inch a few weeks back so here's my shot for the season, this my side and back yard.

Cool, say hi to Nessie for me :)
Feliz Natal e feliz ano novo.
(I'm not really fluent in Portuguese, but I think that's the way it's said.) I was around some Brazilians for a long time. Portuguese is such a cool language.
Merry Christmas to all my friends!
Ein frohes Weihnachtsfest und alles Gute zum neuen Jahr aus Mittelfranken!
That does look suitably scenic, little Greek! Your neighborhood there?
Yup, as a matter of fact its the view from the front side from my house.
Here is another nice photo I took, from the other side of the village the Rhein-Main-Donau-Kanal.
You don't miss the sea and the mountains of Greece?
Nop, after all sea is overrated! :P I like forests and mountains more. Oh, and the beer here is not bad at all...

Man, that is flatter than Nebraska!!

Have you been to the Gulf Coast? Like Panama City, Florida? A beautiful beach there. I lived there for a while, liked it very much. Nevertheless, I'm not saying that's prettier than Greece. I doubt that it is. Still, it's quite stunning. As for Germany, I have only spent a week there, but it was also stunning and had great variety. At times, especially in the countryside, it felt like I was stepping into a fairy tale. That was my introduction to Europe, and I was impressed.
Greece has a very beautiful coastline (and then all those islands), but the exiled feathered one has probably seen it to death.
True. I'd rather go to my grandparents house on the mountains on summers rather than going to a beach and be a sweaty sunburned mess.
There's fish crap inside and people go and have joy in there? And you call me weirdo? :P
"There's fish crap inside and people go and have joy in there?"
:mrgreen: That is so much Edith. She loves the sea and the coast, but absolutely steadfastly refuses to swim in it because "There's animals, plancton and all that inside it!". The Seychelles wouldn't be for her. I went swimming there and the water is so full of ocean life something bumps into you constantly while little fish nibble your dead skin away (feels pleasant, tickles just a bit). Stingrays, turtles, large molluscs, you name it, you keep tripping over it. Really had a Garden of Eden effect on me.
I just recently watched a travel show on Croatia, and thought both the coast (pretty close to Greece on the Adriatic) and the interior were stunning...made a mental note to visit someday, if possible. I have a slavic name, so maybe I would blend in...
If you go there, nice as it is, don't forget bathing shoes! The urchins there are a real pest. Lurchin' into an urchin will have you a doc a-surchin'.
Ouch. My poetry. Not the urchin spikes still somewhere in my body.
And don't forget where all those baby fish come from, and the left-overs...
And the Med... so much nutrients... oh... oh... where the effluent goes... :sad:

Those who don't like getting in the water do have some valid points to make.

I'm generally more afraid of humans than of animals, but this little fish would have me think twice.
