I thought the politically correct greeting was "Happy Holidays!". I guess the jury is still out on that one. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/faith/50892288-142/christmas-pe...

Downvoted? Well, I ve been corrected before.

Merry Christmas, Happy New year and Happy Holidays to everyone.

EDIT: How could I forget my favorite. Happy Festivus and I ll see you around the aluminum pole. :)

Merry Christmas everyone. Hacker News is kind of like the gift that keeps on giving all year. Hope everyone has the ability to take some time off :). Oh and it seems pg just did a little bit of "Christmas decorating".

As of my last page reload, it looks like Hacker News is celebrating as well!

I don't want to pick on anyone (nothing personal maguay) but does this belong here? I mean this is supposed to be a high quality news site and not a place to post touchy feely comments. We frown upon too political comments/posts and try to avoid flame wars over silly things. So in that sense, this post is not supposed to be here.

It depends on whether you think Hacker News is a community or not.

As I said, all hail HN's hypocrisy. When we have a slight sarcasm or a small joke we all downvote it. Then why do you think this belongs here, this is the type of thing we try to avoid in those sarcasm or jokes. You see, the joke and sarcasms should be OK if we are a community shouldn't they be? But we are a community which tries to generate high quality content related to hacking and startups. I don't think this is at all related to any of those things. If you want to put up with this, why not put up with nonsensical sarcasm?

This site partially motivated me to find a better job closer to CS/dev stuff from Physics, and I couldn't be happier (although I'm doing dev stuff for Physics :)

Thanks HN.
