#42Happy 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…
You can see your mom if you want.

#43Happy 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.
I like to think of HN as a family of its own. Sure, we're all different and we come from all sorts of different backgrounds, but we all come together and get along. It's really amazing, and it's hard to find in other places online.

#46It 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.
This is my first summer Christmas (down in Chile), it feels quite different! They also celebrate more today on the 24th and do presents at midnight

#47Merry Christmas! This post hits pretty close to home, particularly the bit about how ephemeral life is. My father passed earlier this year after a long battle with COPD (encourage your friends/family to stop smoking if they do!), but because it was expected I was blessed to have the opportunity to prepare and have many conversations I will remember until my last day.
The material can come and go. Family and friendships, relationships, and what blessings you can bestow upon others are ultimately what matters most.
If you know someone who will be alone this Christmas, and you have the means, please consider ensuring they won't spend it by themselves.

I can! That is possible. She's not comfortable with that and wishes to quarantine.

#49So this hotbed of liberalism -- high tech SV -- says "Merry Christmas"? What happened to the war on Xmas? Happy Kwanzaa, Joyful Festivus, and may the winter solstice bring a great harvest!
The "war on Christmas" was always bullshit, a meme deliberately propagated by cultural conservatives to make other cultural conservatives feel threatened.
A very merry Feast of Isaac of Woolsthorpe to you.

>> 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 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 ac…
Just checking in to say you take care too and it’ll be tomorrow before you know it. Your kid will get to be super excited a second time tomorrow when he sees you at the front door!
Congrats on getting back to floss. I keep trying to but it’s been hard to make the time this year. Hopefully 2023 will give me a little extra time for it!
Happy Christmas mate :-)
