“Have Yourself a Busy Little Breakdown” and More New Holiday Greetings

I’m feeling worn-out from the annual Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays salutation debacle. Typically, when greeted with Merry Christmas, I respond in kind, although it feels as natural to me as Elsa’s Frozen ponytail strapped to my head. Which is to say, it feels blond. However, responding Happy Holidays or Happy New Year or Happy Hanukkah’s Over when greeted with Merry Christmas seems a little passive aggressive. Therefore, and with great gaiety, I give you the gift of new holiday greetings:

Buoyant exhaustion to you and yours!

Blithe and non-travel-interfering winter scene upon you!

May obligatory gift-giving shine favorably in your direction!

Lighthearted yet meaningful, spiritual yet non-religious non-denominational tidings!

Love and joy unto you, and to you, your lipids too!

A jocular non-egg-specific/vegan nog season, one and all!

Beatific mantel tidings for you and your social medias!

Have yourself a busy little breakdown!

Happy New full of the same presidential candidates year!

Joyeaux NoCarpool!

Feliz NaviDude!

and finally,

Seasons Money-Bleeding!

Oh look, the perfect last minute easy-peasy gift for anyone on your list; Popsugar named it a Best Book of 2015!!

Feliz NaviDude and to all a good night.

I believe 2015 can be summed up with the “Have yourself a busy little breakdown!” sentiment. Love to you and your beautiful family!

I smiled out loud at this because I’m right there with you. Wishing you and your family a wonderful day and another one after that into infinity.

A jocular non-egg-specific/vegan nog season, one and all!= My fave.
Wishing you and yours the shortest and darkest of short dark days this winter solstice.

I love “nondenominational tidings!”

Not only did this make me laugh and feel all warm and , dare I say, festive…but it also made me feel okay about my favorite part of the Peanuts special being when they dance! May your days be merry and shoulder shrug dancing joyful!

Have yourself a merry little sibling rivalry on steroids fortnight!
