Just to share with you all, the real PC spirit of this holiday...a snippet of an email I received today.

If you celebrate Christmas then do have a very merry one, and if you're doing something else, or celebrating something else, we wish you the very best in any case

What happened to a simple "Merry Xmas!!!"?!!?

A PC Xmas to you all!!! (Unless of course, you don't celebrate Xmas...)

Got this from a Jarhead pal today. Figured it was worth sharing:

Jolly old, under OPPLAN 19821224, both superceded by current OPPLAN under authority MCO 1536.25.4)

Bah Humbug!

(Except to you, Doktor Krollspell and the Stalingrad Madonna. If there ever was a Christmas sacrifice, you have pointed it out superbly. My hat is off to you. Be well, my dear Friend.)

Best,

Hi Feldgrauans

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone in the forum.

To our vets Haen and Gerhard2, Frohe Weichnachts und einen Glueckisches neue Jahr. Tut meir leid fuer meinen schlecht Deutsch.

May the coming new year brings joys and happiness to everyone in the Feldgrau family.

Actually, I haven't posted for quite sometime and I noticed there are some bickerings in the Soldatenheim. But again despite, whatever happens, Merry Christmas everyone!

P.S. Had anyone hear from Arminius Cherusker1? It's been a long time since he didn't posted.

Merry Christmas for all.
That's pity, there is no snow in England now. It's strange to celebrate Christmas without snow :(
