HN is my favorite daily read, the incredible amount of knowledge gained through this site has been one of the greatest gifts which I get to enjoy every day!
Happy Holidays!

#193My next holiday is Tu Bishvat. If it's December 24th, it's OK to say by name the holiday you're referring to: "Christmas." I won't be offended.

What terrible experiences to live with. You are more important than PG, then whoever claimed association with PG, and than all the others. They don't matter much at all compared with you and your life. To heck with them. Forget they exist - they will fade away - and do what you love. You have a chance to do it, and nobody can stop you.

#195As the world has gotten more divided and angry, it is easy to get swept up in the discourse, much of which can be intense. I hope that this time of year grants many of us the opportunity to take a step back and reflect on our shared humanity. In the thousands of years that human civilization has progressed, we have had some bad ideas and some good ideas. I think of Christmas as a time of year where we can all, regard…
Christmas can mean many things to many people, of course even a miracle if you would like.

As someone who has moderated forums in the past, I 100% concur that I don't know that HN is what it is without dang. And I also still can't fully wrap my mind around how he and the team have been able to guardrail the discourse to keep it as high quality as it is...especially over the last few years.
It's insanely impressive, and I'm incredibly grateful that this community exists.

#198Christmas Eve, and twelve of the clock.
“Now they are all on their knees,”
An elder said as we sat in a flock
By the embers in hearthside ease.
We pictured the meek mild creatures where
They dwelt in their strawy pen,
Nor did it occur to one of us there
To doubt they were kneeling then.
So fair a fancy few would weave
In these years! Yet, I feel,
If someone said on Christmas Eve,
“Come; see the oxen kneel,
“In the lonely barton by yonder coomb
Our childhood used to know,”
I should go with him in the gloom,
Hoping it might be so.
