Merry Christmas to you All.
And especially to Antony on his first Christmas for many a year with good hearing.
Best early present ever. Just one more sleep…
“Workers prepare to recover a British Airways Boeing 777 plane which crash-landed short of the runway at Heathrow in January 2008. An initial inquiry found nothing wrong with the Beijing to London flight until the aircraft was just two miles from touchdown. The plane, with 136 passengers and 16 crew on board, crash landed on grass just inside the airport’s perimeter. No-one was seriously injured.” link
Happy Christmas to all.

I’ve been moseying on over to here for a good few years [since 2008].
Realists, we have all gotta keep plugging away though some of ’em will never listen – sometimes I think it is a problem of ‘progressives’ and their inability to listen to any other reason and all reasonableness [ref Hollywood and the Chicago Kid].
I send compliments of this season, HAPPY Christmas to all of the hardworking crew on this site and particularly to the boss – never let up Anthony [please].
One more big battle to go – Paris UNFCCC in 2015.
Together, let us all fight the good fight in the New Year!

Oh, Highflight! That video SOARED!
Thank you for lifting my spirits.
Yeah, heh, those Macy’s shoppers all looked pretty ticked off, lolol.

May I join in sending best Christmas wishes to all – especially to our Host at the end of the year in which the two hundred millionth view clocked up for this blog. This was a fantastic achievement, due I am sure to much hard work, coupled with a determination to ensure that science remains true to its founding principles – that theory must always give way to real-life observation.
And thanks to Josh for the super cartoon – I did admire the “Love from National Grid” label on the box! Mind you, the last time the Palace of Westminster was actually invaded like this was by Guy Fawkes, when the box was full of gunpowder…!
LOL Please remind our unlettered readers of Guido Fawkes’ end. Suicide to avoid being half-hanged, shown emasculated genitals burnt, bowels displayed, limbs and body separated and scattered to the four points. That is the iconic Anonymous persona, wear it.
Merry Christmas and a Good New Year to all at WUWT, to Anthony, the many guest posters, the moderators and all who put so much work into this site and make it the source of good sense that it is.
There is a true story behind Josh’s card. A blackout occured yesterday in Lapland, though hundereds of kilometers north of Santa’s village http://www.santaclausvillage.info. Local news (http://www.iltalehti.fi/uutiset/2014122318951537_uu.shtml in Finnish) told that people survived the -31 C temperature because of diesel generators.

No. I wish someone would do the research I don’t want to bother to do — good question!
Apparently, at least in New York State where Clement Clarke Moore resided, “Happy” was still in common use as of 1823 when he published “A Visit from St. Nicholas” (anonymously …. hm…. maybe ….that’s it! Moore was trying to promote Britishisms and was afraid of retribution from the “Merry” crowd! … well, that leaves us with a big: I — don’t — know. (shrug and smile)). But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight — “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
Merry Christmas, dear Gunga Din, my stalwart paraklete.
Then, there’s this (just came upon it in my annual reading of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol this evening)… “A merry Christmas, uncle! God save you!” cried a cheerful voice. It was the voice of Scrooge’s nephew, *** “Christmas a humbug, uncle? … You don’t mean that… ” … “I do,’ said Scrooge. “Merry Christmas! What right have you to be merry? … You’re poor enough.”
(from Stave One — Marley’s Ghost)
A Christmas Carol was published around 1843. While Dickens spent several months in the United States in 1842, even in the slight possibility that this could have influenced him to put Americanisms in English mouths, Dickens was not in America at Christmastime that year.
It appears that A Christmas Carol was not, like A Tale of Two Cities, intended to be set in the past to any significant degree. Thus, given Dickens’ great familiarity with the spoken English of his day, it is pretty clear that “Merry Christmas” was still being said in England c. 1843.

To All Our Democrat and Republicrat Friends and WUWT Trolls:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. We also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2015, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishes.
To All Our Libertarian Friends:
Over the coming weeks and new year we wish you a barrier-free time enjoying whatever you want, whenever you want, with whomever you want. Although we wish you happiness and fulfillment in whatever you’re pursuing; don’t call us for bail money, to help bury a body, or for a blood transfusion, you’re on your own.

Christmas should be a time of laughter and good cheer (hard as it may sometimes be), so:
This guy goes into a restaurant for a Christmas breakfast while in his hometown for the holidays. After looking over the menu he says, “I’ll just have the eggs Benedict.” His order comes a while later and it’s served on a big, shiny hubcap. He asks the waiter, “What’s with the hubcap?” The waiter says, “Well, there’s no plate like chrome for the hollandaise.”
laugh (groan) — out (eye roll) — loud (smile) — thanks, Bruce Cobb; I needed a laugh. What a lovely gift to us all.

Woke up this morning and turned on the phone, had a voice mail from my brother. Our first cousin was killed yesterday afternoon, Christmas Eve. He lost his wife to ALS in 2012. They have a daughter in her early twenties, she and his parents are raising her two younger siblings.
Dear Edward Martin,
I’ll be praying for your cousin’s family — all of you.
Life is so fragile. We can all honor your cousin by not wasting even one day of the time each of us has left.
Depending on your beliefs, this may or may not comfort you as it has me: Love is eternal,
life immortal.
Death is only a horizon
and a horizon is only the limit of our vision.
With sympathy as you mourn a great loss,
Janice
Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year to everyone who tunes in to the best Climate blog on the net. And to those who do such a great job keeping an eye on the scoundrels and calling them out, time will show that you made all the difference.Thank you so much. I hope 2015 is good for you.

life immortal.
Death is only a horizon
and a horizon is only the limit of our vision.
With sympathy as you mourn a great loss,
Janice
Have a great New Year, Janice. You are solid gold
Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year to everyone who tunes in to the best Climate blog on the net. And to those who do such a great job keeping an eye on the scoundrels and calling them out, time will show that you made all the difference.Thank you so much. I hope 2015 is good for you.
Especially To you, Anth_ny and your family. Thanks for your dedication and efforts. Best wishes.
Eamon.
