"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!". . . .
Time for the 13th Annual "Hegel's Holiday Happenin'" (or, as some would say, "Hegel's Holiday Hell!" -- hohoho).
Having posted these in groups "by year" for 7 years, I'm trying something different this time. The Archive has been reorganized by "day," e.g. Dec-21st, Dec-22nd, Dec-23rd and so forth and so on. I've chosen to use dates from December 16 through January 2 as well as to include a group of "extras, undated, etc." for those items that did not fit neatly into the previous categories.
As usual, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all (or whatever holiday you celebrate)! I like Christmas -- not for any religious reason (dyed-in-the-wool atheist that I am), but simply because I grew up with Christmas. Trees, Charlie Brown, presents, snow (not these days) christmas songs, special treats, Miracle on 34th Street, It's A Wonderful Life, Meet Me in St. Louis, White Christmas, etc. -- all these form my cultural heritage. Had I grown up with Kwanzaa or Chanukkah, this archive would be much smaller (still can't find any Chanukkah programs - got to be some out there somewhere).
Anyway, I digress. Y'all have a good one.
Cheers!

This entire post is being downloaded from usenet. I have downloaded Hegel's Holiday posts for 4 years and incorporated them into my own list of Holiday OTR fare. This year I am giving credit where credit is due and making a separate post for what have procured from the best Holiday poster of all, Hegel Himself, so that those of you who do not frequent Usenet may enoy the best of the season. The posts appear on usenet daily and will be posted as I download them.
Enjoy them! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Riklaa

It is finally done. I can't say it was fun because it wasn't, it was tedious,but I am happy that I uploaded it nevertheless and I hope that everyone enjoys it.-------------------------------Rick

Hey Rick, many thanks for this thread. My wife wanted Christmas shows and I remembered this great collection. Happy Holidays to you and yours,

I didn't post last years. It only had a few different. ------------------------------------------------- Rick
It's plenty, Rick. Just downloading it was a chore, so I can imagine your work was excruciating. Thanks again.
Merry Christmas!
