No matter your religious affiliation or belief, in a large part of the world, including the United States, today is a day of celebration and joy, a time to be with family and friends, to forget the day to day problems of life and enjoy yourself.
I hope everyone who comes to this blog does just that.
I know I will be.
And I’m going to take a day off with the family tomorrow.
See you again on Friday.
Annie Oakley says
It brings me great joy to know that you are having merry Christmases now Mike. Best wishes to you and your lovely family for a wonderful Christmas.
Sam Mith says
Wishing you a belated Christmas Wynski.
Old Surfer Dude says
Mike, I’m still holding on to that hug!
Wynski says
Happy Holy Days all!
Old Surfer Dude says
And to all a goodnight.
Aquamarine says
I like that, Wynski. “Happy Holy Days” ..the etymological definition. Solves all kinds of problems 🙂 Happy Holy Days to you as well.
Wynski says
Aqua, yes it is the Modern English spelling of the Old English derived Holidays. The definition is the same today as it was back then. Modern education systems simply don’t teach the English language well even to countries that have it as their main language.
And, A very happy Holy Days to you to!

Merry Christmas, Mr. Rinder & family!
Thanks for all you do to expose the cult of Scientology.
David Bates says
This year I have a lot to be thankful for. We just survived a Typhoon Ursula on Christmas Eve. Damage was minimal for us but not everywhere. Happily retired in the Philippines. To all have a great holiday season and a Happy New year. Will advise if Scientology Volunteer Minister yellow shirts show up here to fix all the damage 😡.
Joe Pendleton says
Glad you got through ok David. I am retired in Chiang Mai, Thailand and have been to the Philippines a few times. I have a good friend in Iloilo, but haven’t been able to reach him by phone or email so hope all is ok there. Yes, let us know if the VMs show up😱.
George M White says
Great, Joe. Retired in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Thought you were in London.
SILVIA says
Thank you Mike, enjoy a lot your holidays with your family.

And yes, I will enjoy my own reunions and parties as well.

Who’s Skyler? Huh? Really? My bad. Hey, I thought we needed cheerfulness.
Good on ya, Skyler! You’re a good lad!
ISNOINews says
For Christmas, Scientology Freedom Medal Winner Nation of Islam Minister Tony Muhammad teaches that Europeans plagiarized the story of Jesus from the Egyptian story of Horus.
“Europeans stole the story of Jesus from us.”

Zee Moo says
For all you do, take a vacation and live your life. Thank you for all you do, and thank your family for putting up with it. Maybe your OSA troll will get the day off too. Who am I kidding, your OSA trolls will never get a day off.
Wryturman says
Mike,
Have a blessed day with family, and heartfelt thanks for all you’ve done and continue to do in bringing the light of truth, understanding, mercy, and forgiveness to shine away the inhuman darkness that is the church of scientology.
Mary Kahn says
Merry Christmas to you, Rinder Family.
Belynda says
MERRY MITHRAS to All ! ! !
Old Surfer Dude says
What’s a ‘MITHRA’ and can you eat it?
Martin Padfield says
Happy Christmas to you Christie and family. Gotta feeling 2020 is going to be a GREAT year.
George M White says
Milton’s “paradise Lost” Book 3.
Son of God agrees to atone for man’s sins:
Christmas is next.
“Behold me[Jesus] then, me for him, life for life
I offer, on me let thine[God’s] anger fall;
Account me man; I for his sake will leave
Thy bosom, and this glorie next to thee
Freely put off, and for him lastly die
Well pleas’d, on me let Death wreck all his rage;
Under his gloomie power I shall not long
Lie vanquished; thou hast given me to possess
Life in my self for ever, by thee I live,
Though now to Death I yield, and am his due
All that of me can die, yet that debt paid,
Thou wilt not leave me in the loathsom grave
His prey, nor suffer my unspotted Soule
For ever with corruption there to dwell;
But I shall rise Victorious, and subdue
My Vanquisher, spoild of his vanted spoile;
Death his deaths wound shall then receive, and stoop
Inglorious, of his mortal sting disarm’d.
I through the ample Air in Triumph high.
