41. Merry Merry, DU-ers!

There's a The Walton's Christmas episode called The Best Christmas Season 5.



Olivia wants it to be The Best Christmas since she believes it will be last Christmas where the entire family will be together.


There's all types of mishaps going on with everyone in this episode, but one particular mishap is when Esther and Zebulon (grandpa and grandma Walton) go visit Maude some distance away, stayed way too late visiting with Maude while there was a winter storm going on and they don't make it home that night.


Grandpa calls Erin who's working the town telephone switchboard and tells Erin to let Olivia know that they won't make it home tonight and they'll start out again during daylight.

Erin says, "Merry Christmas, Grandpa!"

Grandpa replies, " Merry Merry!"


I decided that I'm stealing "Merry Merry" and I'm going with it.

[debm55]

42. Thank you, Niagara, Have a Merry. Merry to you and your family.

[Niagara]

43. Merry Merry to you and your family, Debbie!

Donald Trump Wished Everyone 'Happy Holidays' When Obama Was Saying 'Merry Christmas'

45. Feliz Takanakuy!

Each year, on Christmas Day, the residents of Chumbivilcas hold a Festivus-like festival known as Takanakuy.

Takanakuy, is much like any other holiday celebration, filled with dancing, drinking, eating and dressing up, though with one added attraction – a series of public fistfights.

---snip---

Like Festivus, the purpose of Takanakuy - which literally translates to "when the blood is boiling" - is to air one's grievances, which have spent the entire year building up, so that they may enter the new year with renewed community strength, resolved conflict, and greater peace.

49. Thank you JoseBalow and happy Takanakuy to you.

and a joyous New Year. To also let them know that I think of them often and they're certainly missed.


And yes, I know how to look up DU handles and see when their last post was. I don't need anyone to tell me that Heartstrings last post was Jan 3, 2022 ...I already know that. Thank you. I just want them to know that I miss them and I wish them the best.

67. Niagara, that is very nice and kind of you . You have a sweet and loving heart. Question for you --what does flagged

mean? Does it mean banned forever. I like Hugh and I pray that all the other posters are still with us, Thank you. Love Debbie

[Niagara]

68. I appreciate your compliment, Debbie.

It's actually called Flagged For Review (FFR), it's not exactly banned but getting released sounds complicated and sometimes impossible.

It generally happens when there's too many post reported or removed.
