Indeed! For the next few days, we can all go around wishing each other
season's greetings, basking in a glow of Christmas goodwill. Then in
January we can get back to the usual sorry-arsed state of affairs for
another year.

At least the shopping and wrapping will soon be over. Snarl.

Then in
January we can get back to the usual sorry-arsed state of affairs for
another year.

That will be a relief.

Oh, I've always wondered: how do you guys pronounce 'arse'?

And is 'gaol' pronounced like our 'jail'?

'a' as in 'father'. 'r' is sounded. 's' as in 'sugar', not as in
'cause'.
And is 'gaol' pronounced like our 'jail'?

Yes. We use 'jail' as well.

We simply say it in such a way that it rhmyes with "farce" (an absurd
comedy - the pronunciation of which is the same in the US as here)

Two silent h's. NOT 's' as in 'sugar'; 's' as in 'senior moment'!

It WAS pronounced with 'sh' at the end in the dim and distant past.

This makes it so interesting. It's nice to be able to extract a bit of

Merry Christmas to all.

Thanks. You too. Happy holidays to all.

[A Politically Correct...] Season's Greetings

Best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible,
low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, winter solstice holiday,
practiced within the most joyous traditions of the religious
persuasion of your choice, but with respect for the religious
persuasion of others who choose to practice their own religion as well
as those who choose not to practice a religion at all; plus, A
fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically
uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year
1999, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of the
other cultures whose contributions have helped make our society great,
without regards to the race, creed, color, religious, or sexual
preferences of the wishes.

(disclaimer: This greeting is subject to clarification or
withdrawal. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement
any of the wishes for him/herself or others and no responsibility for
any unintended emotional stress these greetings may bring to those not
caught up in the holiday spirit.)
