My 12th Christmas Eve as a DUer.

[WilliamPitt]

Not to interrupt the latest bout of mayhem to overtake GD, but I was hoping to take a moment to say thank you.

Thank you for teaching me, for schooling me (and you know the difference there), for comforting me, inspiring me, making me laugh, and pissing me off.

Thank you for motivating me.

My gratitude at being a part of this place knows no bounds. That gratitude exists in a permanent state even on days when I want to chuck the lot of you into the river.

Families are like that.





Merry Christmas, DU. All my love to you and yours.

1. Much love and a joyous holiday to you Mr. Pitt!

[Wait Wut]

2. Enjoy your holiday, Mr. Pitt.

This will be your little girl's first Christmas, correct? I expect to see appropriate pics posted later.

And, thank you, for all you do here (please read your own post and add a 'ditto' for me. )

[WilliamPitt]

4. Ditto.

She stood up for the first time the other day. Pretty pleased with herself as you can see.

[Wait Wut]

7. OMG!!!

Look at that face!! I can almost hear her giggle!

[question everything]

23. Ohhh, she is beautiful!

A DUer in training..

And thank you for sticking around. I still remember you wedding pictures that you posted on the lounge..

Merry Christmas to you and to your family.

9. I first came here in mid-2004...and I honestly think DU may have saved me from the Laughing Academy

after the stolen election later that year. So many good, smart, people here...

[Uben]

10. My 12th Xmas here, too.

Damn, we're getting old. Well, you are anyway! he he

Guess your skin is as thick as mine to still be here after all these years.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[octoberlib]

11. Merry Christmas to you and your family, WilliamPitt.

Thank YOU for all your thought provoking posts.

[Trajan]

12. We love you will ....

Thanks for speaking for me ... (Oh yeah, you have ...)

From my family to yours - Have a wonderful holiday, hombre ....

[11 Bravo]

14. And to you, Will!

We agree almost all of the time, but even when we disagree, we do so with civility and respect.
Merry Christmas, my friend!

[n2doc]

16. Thank you, Mr. Pitt

I always enjoy your writings. Hope 2014 is a good one for you and yours.

[madinmaryland]

17. I think it is ok to change your avatar back, especially since the Dolphins got

drowned in Buffalo, and the Patriots plucked the Ravens this last weekend.

Have a great holiday season!!

[Kadie]

18. Merry Christmas!

[darkangel218]

19. Thanks, same to you!!

[grantcart]

20. Perhaps this excellent post will terminate a rather sour period of humorless and joyless posts

beating several mundane subjects to death.

Well one can hope.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Makar Sankranti, Happy Gantan-Sai, Happy World Religion Day, Happy New Year and

Festivus for the Rest of Us.

[underpants]

21. I concur, Sir

[mountain grammy]

22. Merry Christmas to you, sir.

I don't understand posts like this.

"and pissing me off."

let's hear the bells http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4209393

[madfloridian]

34. Are you sure it's not 13th? 12th for me, and you were here before I was I thought.

Just wondering...recommended. Merry Christmas to that cute baby girl.

[madfloridian]

39. Yep, you forgot to count 2001 I betcha.

By my count this is your 13th Christmas eve.

[farmbo]

35. Thank you sir. May we have another? (12 years, that is!)

You're always a hoot... even when you're dead wrong (very infrequently).

And you sure know how to turn a phrase.

You lift us all up.

[aikoaiko]

36. Locking. Take it to The Lounge.

I keed. I keed.

[kentuck]

37. Merry Christmas all you old timers!

I don't know if I have changed or if DU has changed?? Or both?

[Bandit]

38. Merry Christmas William Pitt, and a very Happy New Year

[haele]

40. Happy Holidays Will - and best wishes to your family.

And don't worry about chucking us in the river, most of us can swim (or are witches...)

41. Mr Pitt, sir, you and...

... Manny are my primary reasons for always coming home to DU.

Much love and Merry Christmas to you Mr Pitt and each and every DUer and their loved ones, including those I don't always agree with.

[Lucinda]

42. I arrived a couple of years later, but otherwise

your post, word for word, describes my feelings.

Merry Christmas!

[840high]

43. Merry Christmas to you and

your family.

[Skittles]

44. wishing you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year William

[madinmaryland]

46. Wishing you and your family 24 hours of happiness!!

[WilliamPitt]

48. I got your 24 hours of happiness right here

Merry Christmas, madinmaryland, God damn your eyes.

My best to you and yours.

[madinmaryland]

49. Can't you just change that avatar, or are you just trying to humiliate

trumad!

Have a wonderful day with your family.

[WilliamPitt]

50. Gaah! I forgot!

...but you're right. Humiliating trumad is a nifty ancillary benefit.





OK, changing now.

[Hissyspit]

47. Merry Christmas.

[Marrah_G]
