It should not be lost on anyone that this holiday comes immediately after the winter solstice, the darkest day of the year. The future is hopeful, and the days have already started getting brighter. Merry Christmas, HN!

Except in the southern hemisphere.

Happy Holidays HN. I’ve spent Christmas alone more than I care to admit over the last decade but this community never fails to offer insight, inspiration, and compassion. This is a great community and I look forward to another decade of being privileged to be a member of it.

This is my first ever Christmas eve alone. I'll see my family tomorrow, but no more inlaws, and my kid is with her mom tonight. Divorce is.... different. I've got wine and a blanket.

I'm getting back to FLOSS. Dropped a PR on OBS Studio yesterday. I hope it gets accepted as my Christmas present to the Free Software community. Take care peeps!

Except in the southern hemisphere.

The northern hemisphere has 90% of the world’s population. It was a pretty safe general statement.

Not a Christian, but appreciate the sentiment. Family is all dead so it's just another weekend for me, no big deal. Hope the rest of you enjoy your festivities, whatever it is you're doing.

Sorry to hear about your family - I hope you have some community around you.

Being the “uncle” of the community (who isn’t related to anyone by blood) is actually a pretty fulfilling role sometimes.

Happy Holidays! Sad today that my mother has COVID so my wife and I can't go and see her, but we are already planning a badass holiday party for after the new year! Spending the day sending messages and relaxing with my dog. :) OP and the entire HN community, hope you have a great time to spend with friends, family, loved ones, online communities, or just relaxing with some well deserved time off, with hopefully some great food or snacks in the mix.
