Merry Christmas, everyone! Treasure these moments you get with those you care about it. Time is our most valuable asset.

I'm taking a moment to recognize once more the work that user @atdrummond (Alex Thomas Drummond) did for a couple years to help others here. I did not know him, don’t think I ever interacted with him, and I did not benefit from his generosity, but I admired his kindness. Just beautiful. Ask HN: Who needs holiday help?

Merry Christmas y'all. Glad to spend time with the fam bam and to spend some time resting. Also I'm getting my back nerves burned finally after trying to get a pain remediation surgery for a long time. Better late than never.

Indeed, I needed it longer than one day so wrote myself an extension. HN didn't seem to care but I still love it :-) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46266496 https://github.com/FreedomBen/hacker-news-christmas-colors-b...

Wow, perhaps my "too early" assessment was wrong? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46379541

Indeed, I didn't notice on desktop (due to my browser extension) but when I saw it on mobile at around 2 or 3 PM Mountain Time I was thrilled!

Thanks for continuing such an awesome tradition :-D
