Merry Christmas!

[BackAgain]

I wanted to be among the first, now that Thanksgiving is past, to wish all of youze a very Merry Christmas.

And the very first to wish you a Merry Christmas 2025. (A bit early, you say? I agree. But it does make me the first.)

 

[Thunk]

Have a holly jolly Christmas...and incase you didn't hear...

Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas...this year

So you've been watching the early Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel too, I see. My wife's been watching them since last Fall, and they're about to drive me nuts.

It'll be a Very Merry Trumpian Christmas this year.
The 12th Day of Christmas (The Day of The Epiphany) falls on Monday, January 6 2025.
Inauguration Day marks Epiphanytide.
January 21st, Trump's first whole day in office comes exactly one week before the Mardi Gras.

Well, if we're doing it this early, I'd like to use the opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Halloween 2025.

Yeah, you are about a year too early for Christmas 2025.

Mardi Gras is on Mar. 4 in 2025. Ash Wednesday is on Mar. 5. You had me going. I think you are confusing Mardi Gras with Lunar New Year which falls on Jan. 29. I'm not sure if Chinese New Year and Lunar New Year are the same. I get differing results when I search. They say that most of the time they are the same, but some countries claim they are different days.

Must be a calendar thing. In 2017, Mardi Gras fell on Feb 28 and I assumed since J6 was the same day of the week as then, so would be next year's Mardi Gras.
So next year, MG will be four days later than I thought.

There is no way I watch Hallmark Channel. Every one of their movies is the same. And it’s all directed at women anyway.

But I like the actual spirit of this season.

Merry Christmas.

 

[BackAgain]

Yeah, you are about a year too early for Christmas 2025.

Oh. And also?

Merry Christmas 2026!

Same cast, same script, same scenario, same location, same music, same ending.

Watching a Hallmark Christmas movie makes me feel like Bill Murray in the movie "Groundhog Day."

You must have been distracted---you said "a week after Jan. 21." But yeah, Mardi Gras is based on Easter that somehow is based on the moon. Thats why Easter is on a different day every year.

And for moi.......and ESPECIALLY this coming one.

Lol...true! And usually the very same Canadian actors, playing different roles. BORING!

"But I like movies with happy endings" my wife always says.
