Ultimate Collectors' Forums

On behalf of all of us here at UCForums, I'd like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a terrific New Year! May the new year bring us all something sharp, shiney, and pointy!

Cheers!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all from me as well. Personally, I hope 2009 is much better than 2008... this past year my grandmother died in April, we had another major hurricane (Ike), an uncle of mine died in October, and my mom passed away this past Tuesday morning of cancer, so hopefully, 2009 cant be any worse and only better than 2008

I'm sorry to hear that Blade, my deepest sympathies to you. It must be hard losing someone so close to the holidays.

Happy New year to everyone!

Happy new year for you !!! )

Well, Merry Christmas, everyone, or Happy Solstice, or whatever winter holiday you observe! I am heading out tomorrow morning (weather permitting) to spend the holiday with my brother. We may have freezing rain in the morning, so things may be a little dicey. Last year on the way, I ran into freezing rain. I didn't have any trouble, but I saw big trucks that had just disintegrated all over the interstate when they lost it and rolled. I saw cars on their sides up against the tree line at the edge of the interstate, where they rolled to as they shot off the highway. It was some white-knuckle driving, I tell you.... In any case, since I am driving south and away from the cold, I am hoping that even if the roads are slick, I can get away from the area and on into a warmer area where there's no ice.

In any case, I will probably be off the board until Saturday (my brother's computer is slow as molasses in January and it's a total pain to use). So, Happy Holidays to everyone, and safe travels! And don't eat too much! (I've been doing that for several days).

Yes, merry Christmas to everyone!

Merry Christmas to one and all.

Everyone be safe, and if you put back a few, remember to let someone else drive.

BladeCollector, I'm sorry to hear about all of your losses this past year, and especially the most recent. As you say, things will only get better for you in the new year, my friend.

To everyone on UCF, may your Christmas be merry and bright, and all the best in the new year! I'm sure there will be a few new "Report your latest..." in a few days, and look forward to seeing some new pics!

Peace.

Blade - i hope things get better for you and your family!

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! May Santa be kind and bring everyone that sharp, pointy thing they've always wanted!

I certainly hope all of you enjoy a very Merry Christmas! It's been interesting and informative since I came here to the forum in March.
My sympathies to Blade on your loved ones departed.

Here's hoping Santa brings you all sharp, pointy, and shiny stuff.

I dont know about Santa, but I do know the big brown sled known as UPS had multiple shiny pointed objects on it and should be in route to my house in a couple of hours from my sister in law who picked them up for me!

Should I say what is in those boxes or should I keep you wanting to know.....

A very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy 2010 to all!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the kind words am. It's always a pleasure to have you here with us (at least it is for me), I hope things are better for you and your sister. Have a happy New Year! God bless you and your sister.

Well everyone, it's that time of year again! This past year has been pretty rocky for lots of people: weak economy, lost jobs, and so forth. I'm sure we all hope for a better 2011.

I am setting out early in the morning for my Christmas trip. I may or may not log in during that time; my brother's computer is old and agonizingly slow, and he has only dial-up Internet access.

For anyone traveling, have a safe trip. If you're staying put, count your blessings, at least if you're in the snowy part of the world.

May all of us have a beautiful holiday filled with family and friends, good food, good gifts, and above all, that feeling of magic that flows from this sacred day.

And as Tiny Tim Cratchit said, "God bless us, every one!"

Merry Christmas and God bless to you as well, Olorin. Good luck on travels, and stay safe! Hopefully you'll get something nice and pointy under the tree, but at the very least you'll get good company, good food and good spirits, and that's worth more than all the blades out there.

Oh, and maybe you should consider a high speed modem for your brother?

Yeah merry xmas everyone! The time of ale and salted lamb! =D

I'm kinda ****ed though lol, got this insane fever. Oh well, nothing a little beer can't remedy

Merry christmas! hope you all get sharp pointy objects under your christmas trees !

You're absolutely right Fin, good company, good food, and good spirits are the most valuable part of being human.

Ecclesiastes 3:12,13
"I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live; also that it is God's gift to man that every one should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil."

May everyone of us have a very Merry and Happy Christmas!

...is it really neccessary to quote the bible?

[quote=""Darlak""]...is it really neccessary to quote the bible?[/quote]

uhhhh...Yeah. Since the Bible and Christmas are kinda sorta maybe intimately related....ya think?

Meh, the whole god bless you deal is more than enough for me.

Besides, christmas hardly has anything to do with christianity anymore.

Yeah and its a shame.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all.

Merry Christmas everyone, and happy holidays and new year. I know I haven't been so social on UCF as of late, and I've just started to revisit this site. I'm glad to see it still running, and the usual gang still posting. Hope all is well in your lives.

Happy Holidays to all the UCF members!

[quote=""Darlak""]...is it really neccessary to quote the bible?[/quote]

I'm with ya. But to each their own.

To all the members of UCF...



WE'RE UNITED (TM) FOR THE HOLIDAYS, GOD BLESS US EVERY ONE!!!

Have a safe and Merry Christmas, everyone.

A very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy 2011 to everyone at UCF.

I have safely and successfully returned from Christmas, and I hope everyone else's holiday went well also. My trip was uneventful, other than that one of my cats meowed non-stop all the way "there and back again." I'd think her meower would just about be worn out, but she's carrying on about something out in the kitchen right now.

Cat-burger anyone?

Tsk tsk! Her voice is relatively musical, so I was mostly able to tune her out.

[quote=""Darlak""]Cat-burger anyone?[/quote]


Obviously not a cat-lover.....

Or, in the words of another forum member (albeit in a different context)...."Well, that wasn't very nice."

Not a cat lover? I absolutely love cats, they taste wonderful! =)

Nah but seriously, I do like cats. They're not as much of a hassle as dogs, and they definately do have a personality. I do prefer dogs over cats though.

[quote=""Thranduil""]
I e xp ect the elves to be busy this coming year readying many a Orcrist for next year

[/quote]

I am definitely asking Santa for one of those next year!!!!

Merry Christmas to you Thranduil and everyone else!

Merry Christmas to all my friends at the Forum.

May 2012 bring happiness and good fortune to all!

O! Tra-la-la-lally, 'Tis Christmas down in the valley!

....Sorry, couldn't resist that, it being kind of elvish.
But maybe it would have been more appropriate Dec 2012.

Finally got a Blu-Ray player (a slightly early gift).
But my two REAL Christmas presents will come late: Rivendell in January and Pre-ruin Orthanc in the spring.

But today everyone count your blessings and have a Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanza, Happy Hanukkah, and happy and merry all other holidays that I am not aware of!

And don't forget Festivus ("for the rest of us")

whot is festivus?
deimos.i dont now what that means ??
is this some sort of a ritual?

[quote=""am.dk""]whot is festivus?

It's a "made-up" secular winter holiday right around Christmas.

I first heard about it on "Seinfeld" but found out later that it had been around long before that....since the 1960s.

Rather than trying to e xp lain all the details, go here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festivus

And it does indeed involve "rituals".

Merry Christmas to all, dear friends, and a very Happy upcoming New Year!!!

[quote=""Valkrist""]Merry Christmas to all, dear friends, and a very Happy upcoming New Year!!! [/quote]

hahaha Val, you wishing evryone a Merry Christmas alongside your avatar of Kirk, well it looks like Kirk is shouting "YOU WILL HAVE MERRY CHRISTMAS DEAR FRIENDS, AND THAT'S AN ORDER!"

[quote=""Thranduil""]Merry Christmas!
Hope every one has a great weekend.

May SANTA bring you shiny sharp steel or polystone.

I e xp ect the elves to be busy this coming year readying many a Orcrist for next year

And as Tiny Tim would say,

God bless us, everyone!
[/quote]

Yes, ditto! One thing I know I'm getting is the entire set of Harry Potter books in hard cover, so they will be on my reading list in the not too distant future.

But, most importantly, as Thranduil said, and as Tiny Tim said, God bless us, everyone!

Merry Christmas!
