Default OK, I gotta post this!

(Ethnic names changed to Bill and Anne to remain PC)

It's a romantic full moon, when Bill said, "Hey, Anne, let's do Weeweechu."

"Oh no, not now, let's look at the moon!" said Anne.

" Oh, c'mon baby, let's you and I do Weeweechu. I love you and it's the perfect time," Bill begged.

"But I wanna just hold your hand and watch the moon." replied Anne.

"Please, sweetheart, just once, do Weeweechu with me."

Anne looked at Bill and said, "OK, one time, we'll do Weeweechu."

Bill grabbed his guitar and they both sang.....

"Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year."

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

A merry christmas to everyone out there, wherever you are, whoever you may be.
And a happy new year, wherever it may lead....

All the best

A turkey 'armed and armoured' ....the only creature that IS NOT full of Christmas Cheer.....well not until it's 'stuffed'....

By far, the best 'Arms and Armour' related Christmas card I have seen...

Turkeys of the world unite, fight back ....see your local armourer now....before its too late

Merry Christmas

As a random 'sniper' here in the European Armoury, please allow me to greet one and all from Manila a Maligayang Pasko at Manigong Bagong Taon! [Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!].

Plus I'd like to take this opportunity to greet our Muslim brothers in Mindanao and elsewhere a Happy Al-Hijra / Muharram [i.e., New Year]!

PS - Love the images in this thread!
