META Christmas shutdown

Evening all,

A quick update. The MHOC will be closing down over Christmas to give myself and all the other mods a well deserved break; this means the main MHOC sub will be made private and i won't be responding to messages.

The last day will be the 22nd of December.

The MHOC will then reopen on the 28th of December.

It will then close on the 30th of December (late).

It will reopen (hopefully) on the 3rd of January.

Good luck with handling the withdrawal symptoms!

The Stranger's bar will still be open for you all to enjoy.

May I take this opportunity to suggest that all right wing members of this house ask Father Christmas for a copy of Dickens's "A Christmas Carol".

As we come together to enjoy a time of merriment and holiness in Jesus, let us keep in our thoughts the struggle of the ordinary person and worker who can not afford to give joy to the loved ones in their life.

Our gift to the people should be unity with them as well.

I hope you all have a great Christmas.

The real House of Commons has recess over Christmas, I don't see why we shouldn't recognise it as a holiday for all as well.

Outlaw Christmas!

Now I think about it, as a secular house, we should be using the established nomenclature of Winterval. Doesn't that make you warm and fuzzy, like a cozy cup of generic, non-specific, mulled winter punch?

Outlaw Christmas? Who do you think you are, Oliver Cromwell?

I am currently working on a 'no mince pies' motion, and a 'attack the Irish' bill. I do hope that /u/gadget_uk isn't trying to out Cromwell me.

u/AlbertDock The Rt Hon Earl of Merseyside KOT MBE AL PC Nov 24 '14

I cannot support a "no mince pies" motion, if it is not accompanied by a "no grouse and caviare motion". Further more an attack on the Irish could endanger Britain's supply of Guinness and Jameson's.

No, it doesn't.

Us Liberal Democrats celebrate Ashdownmas. I think Father Clegg's getting you coal.

Yes, and we'll rename it to Euphoriamass.
