Merry Christmas Everyone :)

Hope all is well. I've learned a lot from this forum and hopefully have contributed back. Just wanted to drop a note here before I go off to gain more weight and hopefully see the Knicks pull off an upset.

Any holiday gifts you got yourselves or others? Memorable moments from the day? Reply below, let WSO know! Ho ho ho.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

I think you meant "Happy Holidays". Gosh, how insensitive can you be?

So anyways, merry Christmas.

Oh Christmas tree oh CHRISTMAS TREEEEE
