Armed Liberal asks: why are you at the computer? Me, I’m just checking a couple of things before I run out to do my typical last-minute Christmas Eve shopping — a Patterico tradition for several years running now. What’s your excuse?
UPDATE: It’s already Christmas in Iraq and Afghanistan. Merry Christmas to our troops.

I’m doing a last minute email check before getting on the road to drive to San Diego. I’m actually kind of frightened of the drive at this point. 🙂
aphrael (9e8ccd) — 12/24/2006 @ 11:16 amDid my emergency shopping on the way home from church. Just now sitting down to check up on The World, and you’re always the first place I look (after the Drudge home page.)
The family’s all nearby — no need to drive anywhere. Yea!
Merry Christmas to all.
ManlyDad (d62cf6) — 12/24/2006 @ 12:00 pmTaking a break at work… yes I have to work tomorrow too.
Which means the Santa gifts for my 5yr old get opened at 330 am (ouch)
ot: Republic War (via dhimmis at dkos)
Have a very Merry Christmas Patterico and fellow commenters (even you lefties^^)

Just got back from picking up the final presents. A word of advice to all single men out there: never marry a woman with a birthday in December! It’s hard enough for me to figure out one good present to get my darling bride — and having to come up with two good ideas in the space of nine days is a violation of the Eighth Amendment.
Dana (556f76) — 12/24/2006 @ 12:08 pmAll the shopping is done, all the presents wrapped, Christmas meal all planned out, turkey is thawing, pies made, house decorated, ma in her kerchief and I in my cap….
Merry Christmas everyone. And for anybody offended by that, tough!
Bill M (b7df02) — 12/24/2006 @ 12:42 pmThank you for being such a gracious host, Patterico. Holiday wishes to you and your family, and Merry Christmas to all.
DRJ (51a774) — 12/24/2006 @ 1:09 pmThought-mating rules! Anyway, everyone else around here seems to be able to do about 10 different things at the same time.
Merry Christmas.
J. Peden (460ebc) — 12/24/2006 @ 1:09 pmFirst day I’ve had to relax in … weeks? 🙂 Food’s all bought, presents all ditto (although three for the boy didn’t arrive, damn and blast the online proprietor–there’s Christmas for you), preparations for my parts in Christmas Eve service at church tonight accomplished …
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Patterico. You do good work here. Thanks.
Anwyn (a130c1) — 12/24/2006 @ 1:11 pmi don’t need an excuse to get on my computer any day of the year.
assistant devil's advocate (7cbf5a) — 12/24/2006 @ 1:14 pmhow about those bruins yesterday, 92-55 over michigan. that isn’t just a win, it’s an ass whuppin, reminds me of the way they played when i was a teenager.

Typical last minute gay shopping here: a computer monitor and a jock strap.
David Ehrenstein (f45bb3) — 12/24/2006 @ 1:32 pmWishing people Merry Christmas.
So Merry Christmas! 😀
David Blue (59d12f) — 12/24/2006 @ 1:39 pmI’m at my computer on Christmas Eve because I’m Jewish, I’ve seen most movies that are in the theaters, I don’t feel like eating Chinese food, and I live in Tel Aviv, Israel. So, you know, it’s pretty much like any other day of the year here….
Merry Christmas to all of you out there. I hope you have a terrific holiday!
Elliott (20a0c5) — 12/24/2006 @ 2:07 pmMerry Christmas, Patterico. And to everyone else here. You too, David. Be well. (And I don’t know that presbyopia and hernias are a “gay guy” as opposed to a “getting on in years guy” thing.)
nk (b57bfb) — 12/24/2006 @ 3:16 pmWifey said if I didn’t get the heck out of the kitchen for a few hours, she’d cut off my “tail” with a carving knife. So here I am in the garage with the laptop. Merry Christmas all!
Old Coot (581b7e) — 12/24/2006 @ 3:22 pmNowhere near my computer. No excuses needed. Merry Christmas.
Xrlq (b1ae88) — 12/24/2006 @ 3:39 pmLatest FaBlog: Rated Xmas. It’s a list of my favorite Christmas movies, and why I think they’re the best.
David Ehrenstein (f45bb3) — 12/24/2006 @ 3:45 pmWhat’s Christmas?
Gerald (82543f) — 12/24/2006 @ 5:13 pmI would say that its because I’m an atheist, but in reality, I live in the Colorado… best laid plans , flight cancellations, and all…
No worries mates, this army brat is used to celebrating Christmas on all calender dates not including 25, December. Christmas is really a frame of mind, not a time of year
bains (dd1157) — 12/24/2006 @ 5:39 pmWorking today, working tomorrow. Hey, someone has to pay for the reindeer’s food!
Merry Christmas to all.
Subvet (2d8adb) — 12/24/2006 @ 5:49 pmI heard all the regulars were commenting, so I just had to join in.
Actually, I am watching ASU-Hawaii in the Aloha Bowl and wanted to look something up about the ASU team.
JVW (b26673) — 12/24/2006 @ 7:28 pmYou might as well ask why I breathe! Actually, I’ve spent very little time on the computer today. Morning was my first yoga class; I began aching a few hours laters in muscles I forgot I had. Later in the day I visited relatives. Tomorrow I work. So in between all this, there’s computer time.
Merry Christmas, Festivus, etc. to all.
Bradley J. Fikes (19f52f) — 12/24/2006 @ 7:46 pmOh, what the hell.
Merry Christmas!
steve (cf8f9c) — 12/24/2006 @ 8:57 pmIt’s now here, and it’s good! Us East Coasters are first, but if you guys out west can hold on for a couple more hours, we’ll share.
Merry Xmas!
AMac (05488a) — 12/24/2006 @ 9:27 pmMerry Christmas everyone…
Peace in our time!
Neville Chamberlain (80a4fa) — 12/24/2006 @ 10:51 pmHold on! The Global Warming Models have just suspended Christmas – the Polar Bears invade tomorrow.
J. Peden (af8589) — 12/25/2006 @ 12:48 amMerry Christmas to all from the Adirondacks.
Gbear (c22f1c) — 12/25/2006 @ 5:16 amHere’s something to be read aloud at the dinner table today.
David Ehrenstein (f45bb3) — 12/25/2006 @ 6:14 amMerry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Patterico family.
May your “Pontifications” remain insightful and delightful.
