Merry Christmas to all

[Martin]

Hi all,

 

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year.

A very special thanks to Brian for his efforts to run this Forum

 

And take care of the turkey.... ;o)

 

Best,

[Curgan]

Merry Christmas to you and all the rest here! Happy new Year!

[Pete Klein]

HO - HO - HO --- little children! I KNOW you've all been V-E-R-Y naughty this year and so I'm coming to take all of your Nihonto toys away -- except for you Dr. Brian Zoidberg - you'll get a Tokubetsu Juyo Masamune in your stocking. Now let's all sing:

 

"He knows when you are sleeping. He knows when you're on the can.

He'll hunt you down and blast your ass, from here to Pakistan.

Oh!

You'd better not breathe, You'd better not move,

You're better off dead, I'm telling you, dude.

Santa Claus is gunning you down!"

―A Xmas Carol

Happy Holidays to all from the "Inaka" Daimyo of Montana Province! :D

 

And a very special holiday shout out of wished to Brian, Jean, and John for keeping the wheels turning!

[John A Stuart]

Have a really great holiday all. Thanks goes to Brian and Jean. I hope a little extra ends up in your stockings hung with care. Thanks to all the members that contribute in making this site enjoyable and resourceful. John

[Brian]

My thanks and best wishes go out to everybody on the NMB. Especially John and Jean who make all of this possible.

Wishing everyone out there the best of festive seasons, and a fantastic upcoming year. Together we will grow and hopefully expand our knowledge and our collections.

Let me be the first to chime in with a cheery BAH HUMBUG! :D

[Jean]

Merry Christmas to All of you, my friends

 

Special thanks to Brian and John. Others to Guido, Robert who welcomed me in Japan, may spring comes back quickly, I am with snow in Paris, but I had time to fill in my cellarMay

 

May each of you find a Juyo sword under the tree this year

 

It will depends on the post office :D, A candidate could be late for tonight but for sure should arrive before New Eve, But this is another story ... :D

[David Flynn]

And Merry Festivus

for the rest of us. :lol:

[Bugyotsuji]

A Merry XXXX and a Happy New Year in 2011.

 

PS Did we have this one last year? "Christmas in Japan..."

[Stephen]

Bugs !!! Bravo Bravo...more of the rocker girl at the end....

[johnb]

Yes, Merry Christmas and thanks to all who have made this site all it is.

I'm in Japan now. Here's a Christmas pic of me and my daughter...I look miserable coz we'd just gone to the National sword museum...and it was closed.

Thanks to those of you who sent advice regarding spots to visit. Looking at the list now.

May I be allowed to add my greetings for the festive season to all you great people out there and my thanks to all for the pleasure I get from reading your posts? I don't really do the 'Bah Humbug' bit cos I happen to like humbugs (but they pale into insignificance compared to Pontefract cakes - thats one to baffle those of you who are not from the UK). When you get to my advanced years Christmas is a rather potent reminder of the passage of time but I still enjoy it, despite the bl***y freezing weather.

Merry X-mas to you all!

 

Especially to Brian, Jean, and John for all your effort!

 

Jean! I know you down there has snow but up here we have to use a helicopter to

take us to work, that's big amount's of snow... :D

 

Kind regards,

[ironron]

Merry xmas to you all, & happy hunting.

[Jean]

happy hunting

 

I prefer as some of our members, fly-fishing

[sanjuro]

My greetings also to all for the festive season. Our Christmas day in the West is 30 degrees celsius and the ocean is calling.

Whilst at this time in Australia we may sometimes dream of the white Christmases we see on Christmas cards, we never see them here and the remote and sometimes forgotten reality of them can be quite trying. So my sympathies also to those who battle with deep snow and difficult restrictive conditions at this time of year.

 

Have a great Christmas everyone wherever you are. :D :D

 

Jean.

 

I realise that the French and indeed the rest of Europe perhaps may have strange and exotic customs, but why would you wish to go fishing for flies? Come to Australia...... we have to beat them off with tennis rackets here, no need to go fishing for the little pests. :lol:

[ububob]

Fly fishing? Jean, I knew you had to have some other redeeming social quality. Don't believe everything Keith has to say about Australiam trout. The real maneaters are in Patagonia. :D

[sensei215]

A Merry Christmas to a fantastic group of people. You have enlightened me almost on a daily basis. The generosity and friendliness of this group would be almost impossible to find anywhere else. I greatly appreciate the openess,knowledge and dedication that is offered.

 

Best regards,

Let Peace begin with me............

[Jean]

Hi Keith,

 

Mixing flyfishing and fishing flies, you should be ashamed of yourself on such a day

 

I hope you all enjoy your Christmas' dinner, mine was simple but fantastic, compensating the fact that the old bearded man was late for my present, due to snow storms. I hope, I'll have it before next year

[Klop]

Hi y'all,

Do panda bears like deepfreeze meals?

 

Greetings,

[ububob]

No Eric they prefer take-out preferably Chinese.

[reinhard]

Greetings from frost-bitten Switzerland to the Southern hemisphere. No real Christmas there, I'm afraid, but who needs Rudolph the reindeer when he's powered by Sean the shark?
