In ex USSR we celebrate New Year. So the first several years of remote work with Western folks, I was always surprised to see no colleagues some day in December. Only later in the evening, I would remember they had Christmas that day. :) Merry Christmas!

> Western folks

I'm from Eastern Europe and we celebrate already on 24th.

Marry Christmas. At this point I’ve lived longer with HN than without HN.

Let’s see… HN launched in 2006, I was 18, I’ll be 36 next year, so this is actually an off by one error. Oh well, if you squint a little or drink too much eggnog then it’s true.

Remember to focus on yourself this year, and especially to give yourself permission to be selfish. It’s ok not to live your life for others.

This has been an awful year for me. Unable to find work, having to sell off important assets. And for some reason iOS autocorrect is still terrible.

Here's to hoping next year will be better.

I know, it depends on whether the churches are on Gregorian or Julian calendar.

Merry Christmas !!!!!! I'm taking a break today and playing call of duty all day long. Tomorrow I will go for a hike or a walk, and then 26th is back to the business/grind. I hope y'all take a good time to rest. I'm thankful for the folks who are working over the break. Thankful for the gas station attendants, the police officers, healthcare professionals, on-call engineers and customer support, and so many others to…

Happy Thanksgiving
