Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all of our readers! While 2016 belongs in a garbage dump, we hope all of you have a happy, safe and joyful holiday. Weβre taking the next three days off, but we will return next Tuesday (December 27th) with a light schedule through the New Year. Best wishes to all of you!
XOXOXO,
Celebitchy, Kaiser, Hecate & Corey

Shambles: I love your greetings towards the CB family. <3
Yes, what Shambles said. Our internet service was down all Christmas day and I was especially sad that I couldn’t come here to say exactly that.
Thank you all for making this refuge in an increasingly CRAZAZY world. xoxox
Sending you love from a total stranger. I hope you feel there is still love and faith in this world. Peace, joy, and everlasting light to you darling. π
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all my fellow bitches!

Hello Italy buon Natale to you paolanqar!
Buon Natale anche a te frisbee π
Buon Natale a tutti voi!!
Merry Christmas to ALL from another Britisher!
And a Merry Crimbo to you Sixer full of tea and Marmite sarnies and really good sprouts π
@Sixer, just bobbing in to say a big Happy Crimble to you, Mr Sixer, Major, and Minor. I rely on you to be the voice of reason, and can’t tell you how much I always appreciate your comments. You make me laugh, cry, and think in equal measure. I shall leave our differences over yeasty spreads pour le moment, in the spirit of the season. Take care of yourselves, and I hope 2017 will be a great year for all of you. I will be off Downunder just after Christmas, visiting rellies etc, but look forward to reading Celebitchy on my travels, and will be keeping a weather eye on you, and all my fellow CBers.
Sprouts with bacon!
Have a lovely time Down Under, antipodean!
Merry Christmas Celebitchy & Celebitches!!!
Good Ol’ USA.
Happy Holidays folks on Celebitchy!
Happy Christmas frisbee, Sixer, LAK and my other Celebitches across the pond!
Christmas crackers for everyone! I had to give instructions on how to open them properly yesterday. π
And a very merry Crimbo to you from an raving insomniac from over this side of the puddle XOXOXO
Happy Holidays everyone!
Happiness, health and safety to all!
*Looks at Felicity Jones dress*
Huh, that dress looked a lot nicer in the photo I saw earlier….where she was posing with Diego Luna and Donnie Yen….oh….yeah that would do it. π
I saw this video of Diego in Dirty Dancing 2 the other day. So. Damn. Hot.
Happy holidays to all the great Celebitchy writers, and thanks for the great stories and parsing of bullshit.
Yes, thanks to CB for being an oasis of intelligence. Happy holidays!
Yes, that Felicity Jones’ dress is bad..but if you’re a Celebitchy reader, you’ve seen worse! Happy Holidays to everyone!
Happy holidays to all that contribute to this site to make it the BEST place to visit daily …..and to all a good year!!!
Happy Holidays to all! I hope the rest of the (awful) year finds you well. I myself will spend the next few days re-watching Rogue One, drinking and eating nachos. I’m sure there are worse ways to end a year.
Merry Christmas! Happy Chanukah! Joyous Festivus!
Say Merry Christmas to your aunt for me, darling? And to you, of course.
Will do! She is busily re-arranging the ornaments I put on her little tree, oblivious to the fact that my cat is sleeping in her nativity scene. I think her hearing aides need new batteries because the cat is snoring loudly. Merry Christmas to all the Sixers!
Merry Christmas to you both…(with special shout-out to Minor!) see you in the New Year when Lord Dragonfly emerges from his hibernation.
ETA: I just discovered Darvilles of Windsor Earl Grey and I LOVE IT. The lady at the British Emporium gleefully exclaimed I was drinking the Queen’s Tea. Does this mean I’m pretentious? I was looking for something robust… eek!
Just so long as you don’t play polo while drinking it. Because if you do, Sixer will have to do unto you as she did unto The Bloke.
I hope you are drinking that in a bone china cup and raising your pinkie as you drink!
You two have a fab time.
Happy holidays, guys!
Sending Christmas joy and cheer from Ireland, thank you all for being a source of entertainment, joy and kindness all year round.
And a Nollaig Shona dhaoibh! (I hope that’s a rough approximation…).
Happy Holidays – thanks for getting me through…
Bon NoΓ«l Γ tous!
Bon NoΓ«l Γ vous aussi!
This is my first Christmas with a tiny human so I’m nothing but love today. Have a safe, happy, and loving holiday everyone!
Congratulations Tiffany!
Congratulations!!! Bet she/he is a cutie!
Merry Christmas! Thanks for all the everything this awful year! X
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Feliz Navidad! etcetera.
Thank you Celebitchy writers and commenters for being my safe space this year.
+1,000! This site has been my therapy and safe space during this insane year.
Franca Sozzani, Vogue Italia editor in chief, passed away yesterday.
Here’s Anna Wintour heartfelt farewell letter to Franca. If you want to shed some tears, it is the right thing to read today.

I wish her family a peaceful Christmas and to all of you an amazing Christmas and a very happy new year.
Buon Natale π
Felices Fiestas, everyone!! Despite everything that happened this year, it’s been fun in here. Have fun, be safe and eat all the food!!!
Happy Holidays to my CB friends. I don’t know about any of you, but I plan on having a trump free holiday and think positive thoughts of hope and faith with my family and friends. And if that doesn’t work, I’ll just drink myself into oblivion! xoxo
Yeah Nancy I am trying to forget about his nuclear winter wonderland too!
Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Hope you can spend some time with the ones dearest to you.
Thank you for being the best source of intelligent discussion and loving snark! Also, whoever recommended Cholula hot sauce in a thread this year-yaaas! I am loving it.
This is us:

Ha!very nice! Happy Holidays to all. Stay the course!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all the posters, lurkers. Enjoy the people you love and embrace the ones that love you. Here’s to hoping that 2017 brings healing, love and understanding.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!
Thank you to all for making 2016 that much better, with insightful posts and much needed humour.
XOXO
Happy Holidays, everyone. This site rocks. Never seen so many intelligent, rational people (mostly women) in one spot.
Happy holidays to all CB writers and pals. Eat lots of yummy food!
Merry Christmas, CBers. Thanks for the π¨!
Frohe Weihnachten from Germany. Thanks to all of you for another year of sharing thoughts and opinions.
Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah!! Happy Holidays!!! Xoxo
…happy holidays to sandra rose & all her (5) posters…tee hee….
I’m intrigued. Please elaborate …
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and blessed holidays to all on CB! I will be away for Umrah until the 5th of January. Will pray for a better year ahead and happiness, health and love for everyone of us. Looking forward to another year of gossiping, btiching and opining with all of you!
Mad love to Celebitchy, Kaiser, Corey, Hecate and all my fellow CBers this holiday season.
Peace, love and gossip to us all!
And to @gnat who I miss very much.
Seriously, where the f*ck is GNAT?!
Happy Holidays! I will be curling up with the cats and reading Tipi Hedren’s new autobiography.
Peace be with us all!
I asked several times if anyone knew where GNAT was to no avail since my comments weren’t posted. I hope she and Mr. GNAT are well. Have a good read, although Tipi probably was the genesis of my general non appeal to birds! JK…Merry Xmas!
Yes, GNAT is very much missed. A fabulous holiday gift would be the return of GNAT.
Lol, Nancy, you too!
Yes, glad you said something, I miss GNAT too and hope all is well. It would have been a painful election season for her too.
GNAT was very anti hillary. I remember one chain where she got in an argument with someone about it and it was around then that she stopped posting. Could be coincidence but I would estimate that’s why she hasn’t been back. I miss her posts too! Hope she’s doing well.
Pinetree13: Merry Christmas! Here I am bright and early on my pc while my family sleeps! Anyway, thanks for the update on GNAT. Everyone is entitled to their own political choice. We are still Americans. Wherever you are GNAT, please know you missed around here. You gave me a lot of good advice with your natural wit and knowledge. I hope you come back here to give me more. xoxo
I’m jumping on the Where is GNAT? wagon as well. She seemed to suddenly disappear, and she, and her wisdom, is sorely missed, that’s for sure. My wish for 2017, please come back GNAT.
Happy holidays to you too all
Happy Holidays to all! This site has been a fabulous oasis of sanity and snark during this insane year.
Happy EVERYTHING to EVERYBODY, and especially our hard working team at Celebitchy. Your site has been a balm to the soul and the saviour of my sanity over this last annus horribilis. I do hope that 2016 will never be repeated, it was one for the garbage dump. Onwards and upwards! To all my CB mates the best of wishes to you, and your nearest and dearest. Gods bless us every one.
And you to Antipodean – don’t go mad with the Vegemite!
Thank you frisbee, I appreciate the shout out, and will have a special roasty spud with lashings of Vegemite, in your honour. I may even do some toast as well. Happy Festivus to you and yours.
π πΎπMERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!π πΎπ
Hope everyone’s vacations and plans are super relaxing and everything they hoped for! Don’t know how 2017 will go, but it can’t be that bad if we all have each other π
Happy Holidays to you as well. You said it perfectly, 2017 can’t be that bad if we all have each other. Celebitchy is my go to place in the early afternoon. The place where I find sense, community and inside. So, let’s all face 2017 together. I have the feeling we will need each other.
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, everyone!
Blessings to all of you for a Happy New Year. I love all your intelligence, wit and occasional snark! βΊοΈβ€οΈππΉπ
Happy Holidays, everyone! Celebitchy has become my favorite place to hang out.
Happy Holidays from Romania! Craciun fericit si La multi ani! It will be our first Christmas with a baby, too ( he is 3 weeks old). We don’t know what the heck we are doing, hope it gets easier. CB is my happy place, in my country we had a shitty election as well, the corrupted won once again. Coming here has helped a lot. Everybody here is amazing: both writers and commenters. Hugs and π
Congratulations on your new baby, Monette! Don’t worry, you’ll get it all figured out soon enough! I remember bringing my daughter home for the hospital and looking at her Dad and saying, “What do we with her!?” She’s over 20 now and apparently survived our early ineptitude. π
Happiest Holidays to you all!
Thanks for the early XMas gift in the form of the Koala π¨ link! Started the Ivanka post, but had to bail on it this close to Christmas! Happy Holidays to the awesomely talented CB writers AND commenters!! Love it here more than I can say.
Peace and happiness to everyone from Seattle!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone.
Sometimes I hate the bitchiness of the commenters to each other on this site, but I just can’t bring myself to leave.
Happy holidays Celebitchy writers and thank you and to you Celebitchy commentators who prove there is still critical thinking and wisdom in the world! Raises glass chin chin π
I don’t celebrate Christmas, but I hope all who do have a Merry one ! Man it sucks for us that don’t celebrate because everything is closed and there is NOTHING on TV lol. Oh well.
Celebrate friendships – that is always a good excuse!
Movie theatres are open Christmas Day. We used to go to late movies after Christmas dinner. Many Chinese restaurants are open. Our favorite one in the neighborhood is open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Happy holidays to everyone!
A Happy Time to you too, Abbess, I always like it when you show up. You often echo my own thoughts, so I don’t have to comment, you do it for me. Take care of yourself, and see you in the New Year, if the trumpenfurher, and his cronies, don’t destroy us all in the meantime.
Late to the party as usual…. but Happy Holidays to the writers and all you brilliant comment people. Your knowledge and insights have been a real gift throughout the year…looking forward to more in what promises to be an eventful 2017. Take care of yourselves! Hugs & kisses!
Happy holidays to everyone! Stay safe and enjoy.
Happy holidays!!
Merry Christmas everyone, think of me on 25th eating my annual single brussel sprout. π

Thanks for another roller coaster ride of entertainment. I especially want to wish all the male posters on this site a happy holidays as we don’t get much recognition around here.
Merry Everything Everyone! Hoping for a better year ahead. β€οΈ βοΈ π€ from this little corner of Galway, Ireland π
πΊππππ Happy Holidays friends on Celebitchy! ππΊπππ
Thank you, Celebitchy writers, for the great articles and providing refuge and sanity on the forums throughout the year.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Diwali to everyone here at CB – to the team, the regulars, the lurkers!
Happy holidays all!
Just read about Carrie Fisher – here’s toasting to the end of one f-up year
Hugs, thoughts, and good wishes for Carrie Fisher. Good riddance to 2016.
Happy Holidays to a bunch of folks with intact reality testing and the wonderful snarkiness that comes of it! The thing is, there are many kind and funny people on this site and I wish you all a better 2017 ahead. Those of you with new babies, love them all you can and enjoy – I’m with my grown babies now and the time is so fleeting! Wishing everyone fierce Joy, Happiness and gossipy times ahead. And an Absolutely Fabulous New Year!
Prayers and thoughts for Carrie Fisher. Can this year just end?!
Preach. Hope she pulls through.
Thanks to CB, Kaiser and everyone here for allowing up to comment and debate intelligently. It’s a sign of integrity that owners of a site like this allow such a wide breadth of insight and opinion. Happy Holidays to you all – see you in 2017 π
TheOtherSam,
Just signing off on what you’ve already said. This is a great site. I haven’t had time recently to comment as much as I used to, but I still read the comments pretty regularly, and everyone here – from the writers to the commenters – have offered a lot of comfort during some pretty bleak times in 2016. Thanks and Happy Holidays to everyone here!!
Merry Xmas and happy holidays to everyone from Australia. This site has been an oasis of sanity during a truly shitty and scary year.
The invitation stands for anyone who wants to escape Trumpland, although we still feel the reverberations here in Oz, unfortunately. Don’t know how we’re all going to get through the next 4 years, but hopefully venting in the Celebitchy comments will provide some much-needed relief.
Have a good break everyone!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! π
Merry Christmas CB and thank you for the great posts and humor!
Happy holidays all!!! I am consistently grateful for this site and the people who run it/comment on articles. Thank you especially to Sixer, Shambles, Original Kay, and Q.Q. (i think I’m missing some people, forgive me). You ladies are the reason I stop by here! π
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays All! ππππΎπ
Many thanks to the writers and commenters here for the laughs and voices of reason. The election coverage was especially stellar and is helping me survive these dark days. Peace and love to all!
Peace and blessings Celebitchy friends! Happy holidays to you and yoursβ€
Happy Holidays to all the writers and commenters! Cheers!
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays, all!

THANKYOU CELEBITCHY FAM for my morning read and snickers with my coffee every AM. Looking forward to 2017. Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas everyone and the happiest of New Year’s to you all. Thanks for the awesome snark, the laughs and for being my safe space in this past year of utter horrors. See you in 2017!!
ΠΠ΅ΡΠ΅Π»ΠΈΡ ΡΠ²ΡΡ! Happy holidays from Ukraine! Thank you for entertaining us throughout the year) xx
I wish for a better New Year for us all and appreciate having had this site to express some of my feelings post-election. A corrupt male chauvinist pig who called out to racists and bigots won while a smart experienced woman who wanted to do good and was verbally assaulted I feel throughout the campaign lost. The feeling of being assaulted by Trump and his camp transferred onto me as well. I realized how undervalued I am in society even as a white woman and now America seems undeserving of the Statue of Liberty that stands at its shores. The injustice revealed hurts and as Michelle Obama said, this is what having no hope feels like. I can see how hatred can creep in when hope is lost so my goal in the New Year is to not let that happen to me.
Amen, robyn. I’ve really enjoyed reading your comments, keep ’em coming. Best to you!
robyn: Smile sweetie. The one thing trump can’t take away from any of us is hope. Without hope we’d all be living in dread that change isn’t possible. All the people that have the true power won’t allow trump to destroy our country. I said it before, trump is a puppet and all of his threats or promises have to go through Congress and the House. He can’t just say it’s so and make it happen. Believe in good, f evil and enjoy your life. I refuse to let this man take away my love of life and freedom. I have hope. MERRY CHRISTMAS ROBYN!!
Thank you so much Esmom and Nancy. Your kind comments are an antidote to hate and have injected a ray of hope into my day. My warmest best wishes are going your way.
I felt like that, too, and a lot of the time I’m still angry. But today I was reading about Congressional Republicans throwing hissy fits because they’re being targeted by Trump’s online Breitbart squad, which is making them afraid to stand against him, and I just thought to myself, “These pathetic c*nts.” This is the kind of crap women and minorities have to put up with all the time just for EXISTING, and they didn’t care about any of it until it happened to them. Well, f*ck that noise. I may be undervalued and I may be hated, but at the end of the day, I’m still here, alive and kicking. And screaming. And fighting. And I’m not going anywhere. And even though they’ve spent the last couple thousand years trying to crush our will to resist and suppress our talents, we’ve still managed to stay alive and even accomplish and create incredible things despite all of that. And ain’t THAT a bitch for them to realize that no matter what they want, they can’t get rid of us, and now they’re being taken to task, and they can’t handle it because they haven’t spent their lives fighting for it. So I’m feeling a little better right now with the realization that these people are getting exactly what’s coming to them, and they aren’t anywhere near as prepared as I am to do what is necessary to not only survive but thrive.
Merry Christmas everyone. I’ve really enjoyed reading the articles and comments on this site. Keep up the good work ππππ
Happy Holiday to Celebitchy writers, Kaiser,and reqular posters at my favorite site and enjoy your holiday. Xoxo
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Season’s Greetings, to one and all here at CB. I lurk every day, sometimes post but always enjoy reading the comments. I’ve actually learned a lot from all the intelligent, knowledgeable posters on here. Despite what’s happening on January 21st, I know that I can come here and find reason, sanity and laughter to help get through 2017. To the writers and commentors, I appreciate you all!
P.S. Can someone just hide Trump in a dungeon somewhere and have Alec Baldwin take over? The Republicans and Trumpsters wouldn’t know the difference. π
Good idea! We could substitute Baldwin for Trump.
Lack of tiny fingers/tiny hands would be the give-away π
Man, I just love intelligent, discerning, articulate, nasty women (and the rare man). This site is the (sane) place to be and a comfort in dark times. Happy Hanukkah , Happy Holidays to all. Good riddance to 2016. Thank you everyone.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone, posters, lurkers, and writers. Hope you can spend it with those you love, both human and 4-legged.
Am waiting for midnight to see if Junior Cat and Senior Cat have anything useful to say the one time of the year they are supposedly given the gift of human speech. (Well, some claim it’s a gift. Depends on what they say.) Junior and Senior and all previous feline generations have usually slept through it.
Found a hidden Christmas present to myself. While trying to bring a little order from chaos in my office, discovered that long ago I had bought all the seasons of Absolutely Fabulous on DVD! And then the set disappeared into the clutter and I forgot about it (my steel trap of a mind rusted long ago).
@jwoolman, what a fabulous pressie to yourself. I will think of you having a cathartic laff-fest with Patsy and Eddie, and some Stolly and Bolly, and I will smile thinking of you having a good time in spite of all the rubbish news 2016 had brought us. If you have enough of S&B, Junior and Senior puddy tats WILL be talking to you! Good on you for tidying up your office too. Merry Chrimble to you and yours!
Happy Holidays! Thanks to the many compelling comments, I love this site. I, myself, like to dump the garbage, various negativity that are in me virtually so that I can be a more pleasant person in reality. But I hope to be a more positive presence on the net in the New Year.
Merry Christmas everyone!!!!! Here’s to a better year!!
Merry Christmas! And a happy New Year to all! xox
Will this bitch of a year ever end? The fabulous George Michael has just passed away at only 53. He had the voice of an angel. We were just listening to his “Sweet September Song” today, it is one of my most favourite Christmas songs. So talented, and gone too soon!
RIP George Michael..
RIP George. 2016 won’t go quietly into the night….
As we all spent the day quietly sending goodwishes to Carrie Fisher and Queen Elizabeth, 2016 took George Michael. 53 is crazy young.The news says he went quietly. Was he sick?
I know, huh?
George Michael, and only 53 years old.
Damn. It’s just so hard to believe. I didn’t even know that he was doing poorly, much less at the point of death.
May he rest in peace… he’ll truly be missed.
They said he passed peacefully and wouldn’t know the cause till after examination. His family didn’t say he was currently sick though I know he had quite a fight with pneumonia that nearly killed him years ago I believe.
I’m so incredibly sad. He left such an impression on me when I was young. The idea you could be sexually free and as fabulous as you want. God he was beautiful.
Bowie, Prince, & George Michael were all a part of my early adolescent sexual awakening. I feel like 2016 raided my junior high record collection. My SO thinks a Christmas death sounds like suicide, which is why I asked if he’d been sick. It’s no secret he struggled with his sexuality, but I had thought those years were far behind him. Tragic either way.
They’re saying it looks like heart failure, which wouldn’t be a huge shock given his past? drug use and prior ill health. Nothing that’s come out so far hints at suicide.
I can’t stand it! 53 is way too young! Rest In Peace, George Michael.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone here at CB. My wish is that you all are surrounded by love.
Best wishes to all posters and lurkers – may you all have a peaceful and happy holiday time.
So sad to hear about George Michael… What a fucked up year this has been and still is… hopefully Carrie Fisher pulls through. Please 2016 don’t take Leia from us. Watching and rewatching Rogue One last week felt so damn good and I was so happy the film turned out great (I can’t with TFA and wasn’t expecting much from R1) and I love it and it took my mind away from all the shit and horror of this year and I plan to rewatch it again in the next few days and I have soaked up some SW fandom stuff like I haven’t in ages and might spend a good chunk of my xmas money on a lightsaber replica I have been wanting for over 20 years. Hell, why not now.
And to all on here I cannot thank you enough for creating this sane and safe and intelligent and witty place to come to: always, but especially, especially for the past few months. This place and the LFC forum I frequent (go Liverpool!) helped me keep some faith in us humans, seeing that there are so many others who like me are horrified at what’s been going on and have fears about the future but at the same time are willing to take a stand and raise their voices and work to make things better.
So we all have to go into the new year strong and fighting and I can only hope that us Germans won’t totally fuck up in our upcoming election, and neither will the French. Who knows what 2017 will bring… maybe it will make 2016 look like a walk in the park. Before more worries, however, I am determined to enjoy the next few days and to you all: Please enjoy what you enjoy most and love the ones you love most and put all thoughts about world affairs to the side for a bit. Imho we deserve that much.
