I have now concluded that it is a very odd phrase.
But not as odd as, "Don we now our gay apparel."
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.
'Shindig'
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I agree with "Season's Greetings" and would probably go with "Happy Holidays."
At the very last minute I remembered I'd planned to wear earrings and a necklace. Put three earrings in (IN EACH OF MY THREE EARS) and everything. Not that the jewelry matches my outfit or anything, but they all match each other, and that's half the battle.
If the developers would only talk in English I could eavesdrop more efficiently. As it is, my brain can't help guessing.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I think that there is only one holiday season (covers Christmas, Haunnakah, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, etc.*), so it's Season's Greetings.
This. It is the greetings of the season which I am offering to you.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My boss is making me stabby. I am 90% sure he is planning a start up and spending more and more of his work day on that venture (with a few select co-workers). It means chunks of time of meeting that are not on his calendar adn people costantly asking what he is meeting about and me having no answer. getting tired of it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Start telling people he is hiking the Appalachain Trail.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I also vote Season's Greetings, but I usually go with Happy Chrismahanukwanzaakuh, b/c it tickles me.
Also, somewhat apropos, here's a book for the Buffistas in your life, or maybe for your own seasonal wish list: I Judge You When You Use Poor Grammar.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Huh -- Marie Osmond has a gay daughter and is pro-marriage equality. I had no idea. (Also, she has 8 kids from 26 to 7! Holy crap.) And that's today's Ellen Moment...

Woe to the fucking wicked.
We were doing sentence diagramming in class, and I used the example, "Deck the halls with boughs of holly."
We got through the implied [you] subject, since it's a command, fairly easily, but the class had nothing at all when asked what the sentence actually meant. "deck" and "boughs" were both unfamiliar. There were a couple to whom "holly" was not particularly meaningful, and let's not even get into, "well, really, they're probably not talking about halls that connect rooms, but large rooms where many people gather. Like a dining hall."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
It is the greetings of the season which I am offering to you.
This!
It's a half day today and my last class starts in a few minutes. Yay!! But then I have meetings all afternoon. Boo!

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah, Rachel was *awesome* at neutroning Mr. Ex-Gay. "No, it really is here. Page 74."
