Merry Christmas!

I was lucky in a way. Got black out throwing up drunk in high school, and after that, even the smell of light wine or beer made me gag. I say lucky, because I had a fairly addictive personality, and might have wound up an alcoholic. That is, I tend to get addicted to things, not that someone meets me and finds me addictve. :)

I guess you got addicted to FreeBSD instead. Well done!
 
I feel a need to which I've decided to succumb by stating that I'm a staunch atheist who, additionally, doesn't celebrate Christmas or any other feast or holiday because things happen in life (I'm not against celebrating whatever) and yet I like wishing everyone "Merry Christmas" because I see it as another way of saying what my first post in this thread does, and it's traditional to do so this time of year. So, again: "Merry Christmas to everyone."
 
Back before Cracked.com had complete platform decay (to use the nicer word (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification), and had some really good articles, one of their writers, David Wong, I think, did an article about how Christmas, as much as a religious holiday, was a time for families to get together, especially as you never knew who would make it through the winter.

So let's just look at it as the end of the year, and be glad that we've made it (and hopefully will make it) through to the next year, and congratulate everyone on making it through, and hope that next year will be the best ever, only surpassed by those yet to come.
