Christmas Thread

I don't know that I'll have time to get online on Monday, so I wanted to make sure to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! I hope you get to spend time with your loved ones, and that it isn't too stressful.

Merry Christmas, Mike! I hope you have a nice, peaceful day doing things that you like to do

I fear I may not get online on Christmas again this year, so I just wanted to be sure to wish everyone a Happy Christmas! I hope you all get to spend time with people you like doing things you enjoy!

Well, Christmas 2017 had some "issues" for me (a case of pneumonia right before the holiday), but as a whole, the year 2018 has been less-than-wonderful.

Here's hoping everybody has a better year in 2019 (whether you enjoyed 2018 or not).

Thought I'd resurrect this thread with a less year-specific title, to wish everyone a merry Christmas...but of course, two of you got there before me!

It's about 8:45 p.m. (20:45) Eastern Time here in the U.S. (Connecticut), so Happy/Merry Christmas to all.

Happy Boxing Day (December 26th) to those of you who observe the tradition.




(It's not as much of a "thing" where I live in the U.S.)

We have been observing it by watching TV and eating too much!

Since I don't know if I'll have time to get online on Wednesday, I wanted to make sure to wish everybody a Merry Christmas!
Peace and love to all of you, Crikey forumers out there!

Merry Christmas!!

Season's Greetings and Happy Holidays, no matter what holiday you may observe.

Or, if you prefer, . . .

NOTE: Images found on internet, but I did get that issue when it originally came out.
Marked the first appearance of John Stewart in a Justice League of America adventure.

Precisely the right thing to do! We watched something from the BBC I think about Christmas in Tudor times. Really interesting.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and all that to everyone. You're all awesome, never forget that!

Yeah, uh what he said...

Sorry, late and all, but Merry (Happy?) Christmas to all. And I really hope 2021 is good to everyone!

If it makes you feel any better, on my calendar it says today is when Boxing Day is observed this year.

(I believe Boxing Day is traditionally December 26th, but since that fell on a Saturday this year, . . . )

I'm never sure what Bozing Day is, actually.

Maybe this will help?

Boxing Day got its name when Queen Victoria was on the throne in the 1800s and has nothing to do with the sport of boxing.

The name comes from a time when the rich used to box up gifts to give to the poor.

Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants, and the day when they received a special Christmas box from their masters.

The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give Christmas boxes to their families.

It does, thank you very much.

Well, Christmas is over and Britain is back in lockdown. Yay. Happy New Year.

Well, it's not yet Christmas Day here, but it must be somewhere!    

Merry Christmas, everyone. Have a good one!

Happy Boxing Day and Happy 1st Day of Kwanzaa as well.

Thank you guys!   Well, this year I have missed this thread before Christmas, so now is Season's Greetings everybody!  

Merry Belated Christmas!

Hey, in some cultures, there's always the celebration of Three Kings Day on January 6th, which represents when the Magi gave their gifts to the baby Jesus.

So, you're not really "late".

Yes, also here we have the Epiphany holiday, which, from a Catholic point of view, represents when the Magi gave their gifts to the baby Jesus while, from a commercial point of view, it is another chance for children to receive some other gifts from that old little witch who takes them at night traveling on her broom...

I don't think we have her in most U.S. customs.

Though I'm also trying to figure out when inflatable unicorns became part of some people's Christmas displays . . .

A Peaceful and Merry Christmas to all of you, guys!

And Merry Christmas to everyone. A day late... Sorry.

And Happy New year! I hope 2023 brings only good things to all.

By the way, here's that cover from the U.S. version:




and a link to a site that tells what was in that Treasury Edition: https://gobacktothepast.com/fabulous-find-1974-marvel-treasury-special-giant-superhero-holiday-grab-bag/

And I have my copy of that somewhere . . .

Thanks for the info, Major!
It seems that Panini user this cover but changed the contained stories of the volume, as from the screenshot below (sorry, it's only in Italian language):

Happy New Year to all! May 2023 bring only good to all.

Thanks, Mike and

An Happy New Year to all of us, guys!

I likely say this every year but Christmas isn't my thing, except that it gives me
a chance to say hello to friends.
So, Merry Christmas and I hope everyone's New Year is great!
Mike

Thank you very much for your wishes, Mike!
Merry Christmas to all forumers here and out there, with all the Christmas covers of Italian Mickey Mouse weekly from year 1950 to 1968!!
