#1 Best Thing About Christmas-Friends and Family

Posted in Quotes, Weapons of Mass Enjoyment at 4:59 pm by earl

Sure, it may sound corny, but think about it. Without them, who would you send a Merry Christmas to? Who would help you decorate the tree? Who would be the receiver or giver of your gifts? Friends and Family are truly the best parts of Christmas, and are something we should all treasure. I love my family, and I smewhat like my friends. Just kidding, I appreciate you guys including Dragon master, James, Steven, Nolanator, and all the rest of my friends at school for hearing me ramble on about how Adam could possibly get out of his premature grave, and how Locker Buddies is cool. (I will never give up.) The yawn thing was also pretty cool. Anyway, thank you all for all that you do. I hope you all have an extremely Merry Christmas, safe travels, and a happy new year. I probably won’t be posting again until at earliest December 26th, I’ll be busy playing Kingdom Hearts. HA!!! Here are some of my favorite Christmas quotes:

Michael Scott: “Presents are the best way to show someone how much you care. It is like this tangible thing that you can point to and say ‘Hey man, I love you this many dollars-worth.’
So Phyllis is basically saying ‘Hey Michael, I know you did a lot to help the office this year, but I only care about you a homemade oven mitt’s-worth.’ I gave Ryan an iPod! “

Michael: We are going to sell that tree to charity. Because that’s what Christmas is all about.

Dwight: [bringing in a dead goose] I accidentally ran over it. It’s a Christmas miracle!

Dwight: He was already dead, and we Schrutes use every part of the goose. The meat has a delicious smoky rich flavor. Plus, you can use the molten goose grease and save it in the refrigerator, thus saving you a trip to the store for a can of expensive goose grease.
Jim: Wow. Win-win.
Dwight: Exactly, thank you, Jim.
Phyllis: I like goose. If it’s already dead, is it so crazy if we eat it?
Creed: That’s crazy. It’s crazy.

Michael: I’d like everybody’s attention. Christmas is cancelled.
Stanley: You can’t cancel a holiday.
Michael: Keep it up Stanley and you’ll lose New Year’s.
Stanley: What’s that mean?
Michael: Jim, take New Year’s away from Stanley.

In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it ‘Christmas’ and went to church; the Jews called it ‘Hanukkah’ and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say ‘Merry Christmas!’ or ‘Happy Hanukkah!’ or (to the atheists) ‘Look out for the wall!’
-Dave Barry in “Christmas Shopping: A Survivor’s Guide”

Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the Holiday Season, that very special time of year when we join with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the mall. We traditionally do this in my family by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper emerge from the mall, then we follow her, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space.
-Dave Barry

Let the children have their night of fun and laughter, let the gifts of Father Christmas delight their play. Let us grown-ups share to the full in their unstinted pleasures…. Sir Winston Churchill

Christmas isn’t just a day, it’s a frame of mind.
-Valentine Davies in Miracle on 34th Street

Instead of being a time of unusual behavior, Christmas is perhaps the only time in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious and, perhaps, foolish. Christmas, in short, is about the only chance a man has to be himself.
-Francis C. Farley

Roses are reddish
Violets are bluish
If it weren’t for Christmas
We’d all be Jewish.
-Benny Hill

The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn’t for any religious reasons. They couldn’t find three wise men and a virgin.
-Jay Leno

There are also several other great quotes including prophecies from the Bible, and several others. Thanks for reading. Merry Christmas.
