    Merry Christmas!

    I'll also add: this used to be a very difficult holiday for me on account of some family issues, so I know how hard it can be when Christmas cheer seems either far away or fraudulent. So, for anyone out there for whom this is a tough time of year, know that you are not alone. I wish you calmness, rest, and peace.

    Merry Western Unorthodox Christmas to those who celebrate! Don't forget to do good today, for example by donating to Tildes and other open-source projects and charities. Giving is the best gift.

    My holiday is pretty much over: it's the evening of Christmas Day here (although there's still the Boxing Day holiday tomorrow).

    I made a few phone calls to family members so they wouldn't think I was snubbing them, but that was about it. I don't really do Christmas, and haven't done it for over 20 years. It's just another day for me. Although, it is the one day of the year when noone wants or expects anything from me: no work commitments, no social obligations, just a day to myself. That's nice sometimes.

    For those of you who do do Christmas: Merry Christmas. For those of you who don't: Happy Solstice (even though that was a few days ago).

    Merry Christmas to you all! May you find great cheer with your families if you celebrate it! For those who do not, however, have a wonderful day regardless as we close out the year!

        Lets just call us ~s, or even just ~ both as a singular and a collective name! People can pronounce it however they like.

      I've been partial to the rather earthy "Tildoes" for a few months now. I never fail to grin at it! :D

    If I could wish for one Christmas miracle it would be that "Tilderino" becomes the agreed upon demonym.

      I'm still rooting for Tildesian. As someone pointed out it has contains tildes, so makes some sense.

      Why not simply "tildes" as the collective noun?
