Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. May you all be blessed and enjoy the Holidays with lots of friends and family. And even Happy Solstice to you SpeedPagan.
 
Merry Christmas to all and happy Festivus to you Fender, I had to look it up by the way.

Festivus is a parody holiday popularised by the American sitcom Seinfeld, which has since become a secular celebration, observed on December 23 and serving as an alternative to participating in the pressures and commercialism of the Christmas holiday season.[1] Originally a family tradition ofSeinfeld scriptwriter Dan O'Keefe, the holiday entered popular culture after it was made the focus of a 1997 episode of the program.[1][2] The holiday's celebration, as it was shown on Seinfeld, includes a Festivus dinner, an unadorned aluminum Festivus pole, practices such as the "Airing ofGrievances" and "Feats of Strength," and the labeling of easily explainable events as "Festivus miracles."

Merry Christmas to all - and a little story (honest one) from me:

Bill Williams (87 years old)...my next door neighbor at Lake Louise Apartments in Atlanta (outskirts) explained to me that he didn't decorate for Christmas because his wife passed away right before Christmas many years back. He said she always did the decorating. He further said that he had kind of "lost faith" since then an wasn't interested.

I said to him that I really didn't care if he lost faith or not - but the rest of us around the lake were decorating and and I had a nice garland that I didn't need and I would decorate his porch for him. He reluctantly agreed. Later, I had to go to the Krogers and buy some stuff and saw that they had "mini Christmas trees" with a base included...so I figured "F' it" the old codger who doesn't even give out candy on Halloween is gonna get a Christmas tree (albeit outside). I had some extra ornaments also so I did it up right. Sure enough, his home healthcare gal who comes 4-5 times a week (and occasionally brings her two little girls - who he loves) said what a nice thing that old "get out of my yard-ish" Bill decorated. He thanked me - saying that the kids loved the tree.

More fun: So the management decided to give out an impromptu award for the best decorated deck/patio at Lake Louise...sure enough...Bill won!

Bill said to me..."They said I won the prize for having the most Christmas spirit and I asked them if I got any money for the prize"...nope they said...just a picture in the next newsletter as the guy with the best Christmas spirit. Bill said he allowed them to take the picture but he wasn't going to smile for it. He's still p!ssed that he didn't get any money. I said to him "Bill, why are you p!ssed?...you didn't do anything". His reply was that if the "cheap bastards at the office had given a prize - he would have taken me out to lunch".

So now - at Lake Louise apartments - a beautiful setting close to downtown Atlanta - our biggest Grinch has been awarded "Christmas Spirit Man of the Year"....LOL..

Tell him "the cheap bastards at the office" somehow found out that you did the decorating and decided to give you the prize money. Tell him you'd like to take him out to lunch. :)

Good thought...but while ole Bill is well-off...he is a busybody and would check about the amount of the prize.

Besides, in truth, we are fairly friendly. He's not a bad guy...just set in his ways.
