Wednesday Morning Rant Christmas Greeting

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Horde! As they all do, this year has had its ups and downs but this is not the time to dwell on them. As I work on my preparations for tonight's meal and tomorrow's gatherings, I hope all of you are able to celebrate the holiday joyously!

I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas! Please enjoy a Christmas open thread and some Christmas music as you hopefully juggle your preparations, spend time with family, enjoy a feast and praise G-d as we wind down the year. The HQ is a unique place and I am, as always, grateful to be a part of it. For those of you dropping in today, once again, Merry Christmas. For anyone checking in later, I hope you had a wonderful and joyous holiday!

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir - Joy to the World

Frank Sinatra - The Christmas Waltz

Berlin Philharmonic and Choir - Hallelujah chorus from Handel's Messiah

Ricardo Montalban & Esther Williams/Red Skelton & Betty Garrett - Baby, It's Cold Outside
Not exactly a Christmas song, but synonymous with the season nonetheless
