Season’s Greetings! All of us here at Celebitchy wish everyone a happy, safe and joyful Christmas and holiday break! Eat a lot, don’t drink and drive, and try not to worry about that baby-fisted Grinch in the All-White House for at least one solid day. We’ll be back next week, after Christmas, with lots of royal photos (I’m assuming). Best wishes and happy holidays!

Merry Christmas to all of you!! Buon Natale a tutti voi!!
<3
Merry and Happy to one and all! Hoping your holidays are filled with whatever and whomever brings you joy! So glad to have this site and my fellow Celebitches to share the holidays. Cheers! ❤️🥂
Thanks, and same to you & all my Celebuddies!
Happy holidays everyone! Be safe and warm, hug your loved ones and remember that temporarily drowning yourself in wine or dessert is totally acceptable if it means you don’t go off on your Trump supporting family members!
Season’s greeting to all celebitches from my little corner in Ireland! Nollaig Shona Duit.
Happy Holidays to everyone! Let’s all hope 2018 is better.
Happy holidays. May you be happy and healthy.
Happy Holidaze!!!!
Feliz Navidad! Happy Holidays to all my celebitchies! This site is such a bright spot in my life when all else seems to be dull and collapsing. Much love to each and every one of you!
Io Saturnalia (I know, it was yesterday), Belated Happy Chanukah, Joyous Festivus, Good Yule, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to all.
I think I might that psychiatrist help for 5 bucks.
I meant “psychiatric help”.
Good grief! I meant “I might need that psychiatric help”.
As for you, luv…I wish the best holidays this dreadful year can allow you to have (I know, sounds cold, right? But, in my defense, I’m just being realistic).
Happy holidays to all you celebitches!
Happy Holidays to one and all!
Happy Holidays to everyone.
Warm hugs and lots of love to you all! ❤️️
Merry Christmas and Season’s Greetings to all.
Love that Christmas is on a Monday. Long weekend. Enjoy your family and Friends.
Happy Holidays to my fellow bitches! Went to see Lady Bird with my bff last night and we added a note to her children’s Santa list to please remove the festering sh*t heap from the White House. Cheers and be safe!
Happy Holidays to the Celebitchy writers and editors! You have provided so much inspiration and hope during one of the hardest years. Many thanks! Best wishes also to the super intelligent and compassionate commenters!
Man, those movie reviews are long winded.
Merry Christmas everyone. I’d also like to thank and wish a merry Christmas to the staff of Celebitchy. I hope the New Year brings you everything you need.
How am I supposed to keep my mouth shut while pregnant and therefore extremely limited alcohol consumption? We are seeing the Trumpsters (not my side of the family) in a matter of days!
Lots of dessert and avoidance! My favorite excuse while pregnant was telling people i was exhausted and then laying in bed reading or watching Netflix lol
I’ve never been able to drink alcohol but wish I could tonight while with my Trumpster parents and their Trumpster friends. I don’t think I’ll be able to keep my mouth shut, so maybe I’ll have my first beer to relax after all of frustrations of listening to all of their BS
I’m sorry you have to listen to that BS. I’m eternally grateful that I was born into a family of die hard Democrats.
Just smile with a twinkle in your eye. They KNOW he’s failing. They know he’s a buffoon and an embarrassment. Next year will be really hard on them because of Mueller’s investigation. Let them have their joy for now, because it will be temporary. You need to be there for them when they come back with their tails between their legs when impeachment and imprisonment happen.
Bless their hearts. 😉
That’s the spirit!
Tell them youre nursing a massive hangover. That works as you likely feel tired or barfy anyway. Great cover
Oh god…..just pack a stress ball and lots of chewing gum so you don’t grind your teeth to the gums. Good luck!
Happy holidays everyone. Wishing you joy and blessings in the coming year.
Happy Holidays, everyone!
Best header pic ever. Happy Holidays & happy long weekend!
Everything I come to Celebitchy for. Psychiatric help, moral support, and so much cheaper than a shrink! Thank you Celebitchies, for reminding me that there are sane people out there. Happy Holidays to Everyone!
Happy holidays! Bonnes fêtes ! Merci celebitchies for another year of gossip, and the engagement in politics too!
Merry Christmas to optimists everywhere!
Special shout out to Jeru, Esmom, BranV, Christine, et al (many names I’m forgetting!) for resisting hard on the Dotard, Emperor Zero.
Thank you Kaiser!
Right back atcha, Eric the Eternal Optimist. Your posts, as you know, have helped keep me from going completely off the rails. Peace, love and joy to you!
Back atcha doubled, Eric! Happy Holidays to all. Recharge and resist!
Happy holidays everyone!
I hardly ever comment, but I appreciate all of you who do, and have such thoughtful things to say. This site has the only comments section I regularly read, and I look forward to it every day.
Thank you so much for being such a welcoming and intelligent group!
Same. Merry Christmas…
Love it here too. Haven’t commented as much lately, but still a devoted reader EVERY DAY!!! Happy Holidays to the awesome writers and (mostly) all commenters!
Aww how sweet! Merry Christmas
I just read that Taylor Swift bought a house to some pregnant fan. Really nice of her.
Happy Holidays to all and to Kaiser thank you for great posts! May we all get bitchier in 2018!
I don’t know what I would have done without CB during 2017. Happy holidays, all!
Same here, Minx — at times it felt like the only place to go for comfort and sanity or informed discussion. This site has truly been a port in a storm since November 8, 2016.
It really has.
Happy Holidays to everyone at Celebitchy and the community. 2018 WILL BE BETTER!
Happy holidays everyone. I love you CBers, and cheers to Kaiser and you wonderful ladies.
Stay safe.
Merry Christmas everyone!
And Happy Birthday to Ralph Fiennes – to think that not so many years ago him joining the mile-high club with a flight attendant was considered a huge sex scandal!? Now it seems so mild – two consenting adults having sex in a gross place – while that pig Weinstein and his likes were already running around abusing people.
Omg I’d totally do it in an airplane bathroom with ralph Fiennes.
+1
This website and all of the kind, insightful posters made my 2017 bearable. Miss Magnoliarose could not have said it better “Thank you for your humor, debates, snark, opposing views and provocative comments.”
Best wishes and *hugs* to the writers and commentors all over the world. If I won the lottery, the first thing I would do would be to fly each and every one of you to some island for the weekend and a grand party. I’m not even a “people person” but I’d make an exception, for all you smart, lovely ones. ❤
What an amazing thought, Mira Belle — I wish we could do that! (And I’m known NOT to be a “party person,” but I would make an exception for that!
lol, me too! I used to call him Ralph FINEs!!
Mery christmas and happy new year to everyone on CB. Thanks for teaching me so much in the comments, and I hope 2018 is a good one for all of you.
Winter Solstice blessings! I love you guys! Thank you to CB, Kaiser, et all for everything you’ve done to get us through this year. Thank you, commenters, for your wit, heart, and fierceness. Xoxoxo
I work weekends and then the two days after Christmas so it’s going to be a crash day after dealing with tourists in the shops.
And around here, we’re going to be on Democracy watch in case you know who tries something stupid and we have to hit the streets.
I said goodbye to my fur baby of nearly 16 years this week. It has been really hard to muster up any holiday cheer, but I am going to try. My bf and I are entering a whole new phase of life, with a family of 2 instead of 3. Sigh.
Sending big hugs to everyone out there who might need extra love this time of year.
I lost my fur baby of 18 years this week too. It’s heartbreaking, and going to take a long time not to be. I will always, always, love and miss her.
I’m hoping the universe sends me a new fur baby to love soon, and to you too if you are going to adopt again.
Sorry to hear that ladies. I lost my fur baby last year but I still miss him like the dickens.
When the time is right, your fur babies will send you another soul to take care of.
To those in mourning, You have my sympathies. It is hard, and they take a little bit of love with them as they go.
Try to enjoy what you can but don’t fear the tears and let them out. No need to be stoic.
I’m sorry you have to go through that agony, I really am. I wish I could say something that would stop your pain. Words are so stupidly inadequate when you lose a pet. I hope all four of you can find a little peace.
💗💗💗 love and hugs to everyone missing their furkids.
How sad, Tiffany — I’m so sorry. To you, and to any other Celebitches who may be feeling a fresh sorrow this holiday season, be kind to yourselves. Sometimes this time of year the holiday cheer can feel relentless.
@Tiffany and @Lucy2,
I am so sorry. Pets are family too, and losing them hurts. Take care, be well.
Seasons greetings and warmest wishes to my favorite writers and commenters on the interwebz! I’m so thankful for the humor and wisdom I find here. Best to you all!
You’re one of my top favorites here, Esmom — I always look for your comments. All the best to you.
Aw, thank you for your kind words. I feel like I’m not able to articulate much insight as I’m often consumed with stress and anxiety but reading what everyone else has to say here is one of my not-so-guilty pleasures. Best to you, too!
Happy Holidays, Kaiser. I hope you enjoy a well earned break.
Happy Holidays to CB writers and wonderful posters!!!
Merry Christmas third ginger! I hope you and your 25 year old “baby girl” have a lovely holiday and healthy new year. You are always so kind to me and I so appreciate it. My baby girl still doesn’t get all the fuss, but she is giggling right now!
Happy holidays my fellow celebitches, and best to kaiser and CB! 🥂🎁🎄
Happy Holidays!
To the fantastic writers who work hard to keep it all going Thank you for providing political coverage as well as entertainment. Democracy dies in the dark.
To all the commenters and readers regardless of beliefs or views, I wish you a peaceful holiday and a bountiful 2018. Thank you for your humor, debates, snark, opposing views and provocative comments.
Be safe and be merry.
What she said!
Thanks, magnoliarose, for saying it so well — and for the wisdom and heart and fairness of your posts all year.
So late to this party but with warm wishes just as heartfelt. This has been a place of safety, solace and sanity. Everybody enjoy this time, rest up and hug your loved ones tight!
Happy Holidays! 😁
Happy holidays.
I along with my three siblings just left our immediate families ( 10 kids in all) at a western ski town to fly out to Florida to visit our father who unexpectedly had to have a pacemaker put in his chest this afternoon. He was scheduled to join us but had a heart episode on the way to the airport with my mom. We all hope to make it back in time for Christmas but it’s not clear that that is going to happen..depending on my fathers’s condition and available flights back, I have never been so grateful to have such a strong family and an awesome spouse.
Wishing you all peace and health this holiday.
I hope your dad pulls through and you all get to spend the holidays together. Please accept the warmest of wishes from this internet stranger. *hugs*
Dear JustwastingTime: not wasting time at all. It’s precious, isn’t it?
Good luck with your dad, and although difficult, how fortunate you could fly out to be with him and your mom. No doubt they were be very grateful for your love and support.
My thoughts are with you, I hope for the best outcome for your dad and family. Peace.
Merry X to all and Gringo looks great. Peace!
Prettige feestdagen! Happy Holidays from the Netherlands xx
Festas felizes! Joyeuses Fêtes! Happy Holidays! Thank you all for teaching me so much about stuff that matters, womanism, politics, film and some gossip along the way. A shout out to CB team who bring us all together!
🥂
Have a Blessed Yule.
Peace on Earth.
Thank you to Celebitchy for being a haven. Thank you to my fellow commenters for all the thought provoking comments, lively debate and the lolz.
2018 is going to be a game changer guys. It’s going to be better. Speak it, believe it and it will be so! Waiting to celebrate with you guys when the you finally flush that Orange turd.
Happy Holidays to all! However you celebrate, have fun and be safe.
Merry Christmas to the cbebes. To the old and not forgotten and the new.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate & thanks to CB, Kaiser & Posse for all the great posts. To all the commenters who make this such an intelligent and interesting space, I am beyond grateful. I often look at the site on a device where I can’t comment, and like everyone else here, have a whole lot going on with work and family so reading and being soothed, entertained and educated is all I can do. But know, FWIW, how much all of you have made 2017 easier to bear.
Thanks fellow cb’ers! Really appreciate the writers and the commenters especially those that have been supportive of my pregnancy loss of my son at 5 months pregnant this month. Also cheers to all those mentioning above about their blue Christmases! Merry Christmas 🎄
So sorry Pinetree13. So much hope goes into a pregnancy, so much thinking forward. You must miss him terribly. Safe Holidays, I hope you have the support you need.
Pinetree13, there are no words. I am truly sorry and although I have no idea who you are, I really am thinking of you and your family. All the hugs!!!!
Pinetree13,
My heart goes out to you. I wish you light and love.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Be blessed, merry, and safe.
Hauskaa joulua ja hyvää uutta vuotta!
My oldest sister (16 years my senior) has been battling Hodgkin lymphoma.
We’re — I say “we” because when cancer attacks, everybody related to the person suffer, too — entering 2018 with the second half of the prescripted chemo sessions (8 more sessions to go).
I, like my middle sister (8 years my senior), am a non believer, but my oldest sister is so…if anyone wants to wish well and send prayers, do it for her.
Sending love and prayers to your family Eve.
I’m so sorry, Eve. Cancer is the worst. It’s chaos and pain and chemo is controlled death to bring about life and so hard to watch. I wish for strength for you, and healing for your sister. The biggest help for those going through treatment is support, so you’re already giving her the absolute best medicine (after chemo) possible. I will add my positive thoughts to the ether though, and my best wishes for your sister and your family in this coming year.
I am sorry. Cancer is a scourge that spares no one, and I have been there as a helpless watcher. You aren’t a believer, so I send you positive vibes and energy during this difficult time. For your sister, I will say a Hebrew prayer for healing. I am getting back into meditation, so I will remember to add positive thoughts for your family too.
You aren’t active much, but I know who you are. You are an animal lover and have the gift of wit. I also recall that you have some struggles. I wish you a positive 2018.
Sending you positive energy
@ Secret Squirrel, Deets, Magnoliarose and Pinetree13:
I want to thank you guys with all my heart. Because I tell everybody I can to send my sisters (the one who’s ill and the other fighting for both of us).
@ Magnoliarose:
Interesting to hear about a Hebrew prayer for healing. Thank you (for learning something new and for the good thoughts).
Done, Eve. Remember to take good care of yourself during this difficult time.
Thank you, dear.
But if I could trade places with my oldest sister, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
Wrong spot.
All positive thoughts going to you and yours.
Thank you, dear.
Happy Holidays and Fortune’s Blessings on all of the readers and writers here in this oasis of free flowing thought. Whether I love your words, hate them, or are inspired by them (looking at YOU, JERUSHA!) I am always taken out of my daily grind by them. A treasure indeed!
Merry Christmas You Filthy Animals! Love chatting it up with everyone almost every day. Peace On Earth Good Will To Woman!
Amen, Nancy!
Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays. Thank you all for being a safe haven in this hellscape of a year.
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, or Happy any holiday that is close to your heart!!! I you aren’t religious, I hope you enjoy some extra pay on your check and hopefully some extra time off to relax and enjoy your family!!!!!
May 2018 be the year of PEACE!!!!
Side note, this year is going out with a bang…all 4 humans in my household have the worst effing headchold ever. Two crabby but sweet babies and two grumpy-trying-to-spread-joy-and-not-germs adults. It’s the last F U from 2017! Ha!
HELLO 2018!!!!!!!!!
…and a special shout-out to KAISER, whose wit, humor, moxy, occasional ferocity (always well placed), and enormous heart have literally kept me afloat some days since November 8, 2016!
Happy holidays, CBers!
Be merry, be safe, be well!
MERRY – AND HAPPY – CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
Merry Xmas to all the Celebitches here, it’s always such a fun, lively place to be, can’t wait for the return in 2018!
Special mention to my favorite commenters, Magnoliarose, LAK, Enough Already, Sixer, Princess K…..(so many others I can’t remember)…..your thoughtful, knowledgeable, compassionate and entertaining comments are so inspiring to those of us who lack those exact traits…..
Kaiser, I’m shocked you haven’t banned me yet for vulgarity or for consistently posting such insubordinate comments…..Thanks for your wonderful, HILARIOUS write ups, looking forward to even more next year.
Joyeux Noël à tous!!!!!!
Happy holidays to all at Celebitchy!!
