You might require a 712 for "Merry Christmas" after all it's 14 letters compared to 13!but couldn't you have put "Merry Christmas"?
BTW: Is Christmas in the US your main holiday time, or is it Thanksgiving?
It's the main yearly holiday here in Aus .... Universities have already finished and don't start again till the end of Feb/March, and a lot of businesses are pretty much closed most of January!

Peter, I'd have to say Christmas is the big one, Thanksgiving has pretty much degenerated to be seen as the start of the OFFICIAL Christmas shopping season. I say official because many of the stores, especially WalMart have Christmas stuff out in October and before. Even the hardware/lumber stores have all sorts of Christmas display and outdoor decoration type things.
It is hard for me to imagine Christmas in the middle of summer even though where I live we usually don't even get frost let alone snow.
Regards,
Andy

Thanks Guys ....Nice to know Christmas hasn't been surpassed!
Given our "English" hertiage, many families still settle down (me included) for a traditional Christmas lunch (roast duck/turkey and Plum Pudding etc) even though it can be very hot (one year I remember it was in the low 40's /104F ) outside ..... yet others tend to have a Barby in the middle of the day and head to the beach in the avo!
Still I guess Christmas is Christmas no matter where you are or whatever the temperature!
BTW....Nice thread Nimrod!.....Is anybody else using there Pinny for anything "Christmassy"?

AK.
Thanks for the reply, and in short I guessed as much.
You know when I first came to these shores in the eighties (after being in Iraq) I was confused by this "happy holidays stuff".
I supposed its what you are brought up with; In England its definately a "Merry Christmas" and God Rest Ye Merry Gents & all that stuff!
In the Fifties growing up, half the school tipped out one year I remember going someplace--like mostly Australia.(ten quid assisted passage) We got "photies" from Down Under later in the year from old school mates who were now adopted Auzzies--Emigrated. Struth! On the beach in the middle of summer Down Under for "Chrissy"! Talk about confusing us kids left behind in Blighty who were used to bloody awful grey skies, brass Monkey weather , or it peeing down with rain!
I was just chatting with the Missus today about Thanksgiving and we both concluded it's more about a family get together than having to deal with all that gift giving stuff that stresses out the whole population it would seem. By the way Linda is about to get up at 3.00am to hit the sales; Crickey she's a soldier all right!
Well you blokes Seasons Greetings & good night full of Turkey & booze!

Sleeping it all off until six, then open the shop to pay for those excesses happening when I am in the land of nod!

OOOps no customer bashing now
G'Day Denis, my old man was a true Brit to the day he died despite the fact he had lived a major portion of his life in Aus (although I think deep down he loved this country), but one of the things that really annoyed him was that people often took him for a dinky-dye Aussie ....he was as brown as a berry, didn't mind the heat and he didn't really have an accent (after all we Aussies don't have an accent 
) so he could have been Australian born!
We always thought it was a great joke when friends came from overseas at Christmas and they nearly died when it was so hot and Mum would put a full roast dinner on the Chrissy table! ..... Mind you I'd probably refuse to budge from in front of the fire in other countries!
One interesting aspect that has arrisen in Oz from our "English heritage" is that "Christmas in July" dinners are a huge attraction here!
Restaurants up the hills in the middle of Winter (it can be raining or even snowing at the time) do a roaring trade with tourists and local alike!
Well I hope you and all the forum members have a happy Thanksgiving!

Hello mate.
You know I can simpathise with your late dad. A few years ago I took all my ex in laws to my home city; Gloucester. It has a magificent cathedral that is more than 1000 years old. The artifacts trace English history back for the whole 1000 years period.
Wandering around we get confronted a haughty older lady guide dressed in her green tweeds. She asked me what part of Canada or New England I was from. I indignantly replied "I'm from here luv' . In short she wouldn't believe me until I answered the old bag in a local broad dialect. Then she sarcastically said in an attempted put down "Well I didn't take you for being a "brother", but since you have married an American you are now merely a cousin"! I then simply said with my broad dialect from the area "OOH me dear, do I take that to be a compliment then me dear?".
She never spoke to me again during the guided walk about.
I sometimes think what my late parents would think of all their off spring nowadays. Me over here, my other bro' & family in Brisbane, and the other 'un in Spain for half the year!
We Brits certainly get about!
Cheers mate

Dennis, if you all are healthy and well, I suspect your parents would be proud of the whole lot of you all.
Peter, I think Christmas in July down under would be a hoot. In July it is very common to have daytime temps about 105 F here. The only thing that makes it bearable is the fact we normally have lower humidities (high teens low twenty percitle) and a breeze out of the southeast. On days when the wind lays it is not good to go out, so snow in July sounds real good.
Midnight sun and snow like in AK's picture does nothing for me, even though the Pinz looks pretty nifty.

Isn't the new signage, "Christmas Camouflage" :?:The Camo seems to defeat its purpose!!
